Delicious Updates!!!

Thanks so much for the referral to allrecipes.com, D'Lonna! I used these two recipes for part of Ryan's Valentine's Day dinner tonight, and the meal was to die for!!! Each recipe has been rated 5/5 by over 1,000 people. Actually the fruit salsa was 5/5 by 1,348 people and the artichoke dip was rated 5/5 by 1,024 people. It's apparently not just me. Try it and enjoy!!! On the artichoke dip, I used an Alfredo sauce with sun-dried tomatoes. Also, we made a few substitutions on the fruit salsa. Instead of raspberries, we used blackberries, and we used raspberry preserves. It tasted amazing!!!!
