Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Cheese and Garlic Artichoke Spread

Clearly no one beats Wegmans... for anything.  But at $4.99 for a tiny container of cheese spread, I can try and make it myself.  Here is my attempt:

INGREDIENTS



6
cups shredded mozzarella cheese (at room temp)
1 1/2
cups grated romano cheese
1 1/2
cups grated parmesan cheese
1
1
cup minced garlic
1
2
teaspoons fresh lemon juice


DIRECTIONS


  1. In large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together.
  2. Fold until all is blended.
  3. Keep refrigerated in mason jars with lids, or in containers with tightly fitting lids.
  4. To make garlic bread, slice french bread and place on cookie sheet.
  5. Spoon spread onto bread.
  6. Toast, bake, or broil until cheese is bubbly and nicely browned.

VERDICT

Not Wegmans, but not bad.  And, um, SO much leftover.  I didn't use half of the mix and there's enough for another 50-60 toasts.
