Hot Artichoke Dip

This is the best food in the world. Unfortunately, it is also the most fattening. Still, it is a worthy sacrifice.

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup half and half cream
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon pimento pepper, chopped
1 (6 1/2 oz.) jar marinated artichoke hearts
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilis
Tortilla chips
Drain jar of artichoke hearts. Chop coarsely.
Combine Parmesan cheese, cream, and mayonnaise in a medium mixing bowl. Add peppers, artichoke hearts and green chilis. Serve with tortilla chips.

Zesty Salsa

This is just improbably delicious, really.

2 large tomatoes, diced
6 green onions, chopped
1 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chillies
1 can (2 ¼ ounces) sliced ripe olives, diced
¼ cup prepared zesty Italian salad dressing

In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with tortilla chips. Makes 4 cups.
