A creamy Crab Dip with Cream Cheese sure to please a crowd! A blend of parmesan, mozzarella, and cream cheese.
I’ve been eating this all week, and it’s been divine. Usually I make food for this blog and serve it to my family or take it to a party. But sometimes, I end up making a dish for a party of one. I can’t serve dip as a family dinner. I mean… at least not multiple nights in a row.
Kidding!
It’s a classic food blogger dilemma. So what’s a girl to do? Eat dip for lunch. I do use carrots & celery for dippers, so that must count for something.
