Southern Sunday Favorite

I know this post was just a couple of days ago, but, still it is a favorite of mine. I love the red, white and blue!

Sunday Favorites is hosted by Chari at Happy to Design

Here is my favorite this week:

After enjoying the Red, White and Blue Festival last week, my husband and I plan to have a quiet weekend at home this 4th of July. There are fireworks shows on both of the lakes (Bull Shoals and Norfork). We might venture out to see the show but otherwise we will be close to home.

However, being home doesn’t mean you can’t be festive!

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed your visit. You can find lots and lots of great tablescapes by lots of great people over at Between Naps on the Porch.

Today’s Lagniappe: Arkansas Sin
Who can resist this?

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 8 ounces diced cooked ham
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 (1 pound) loaf round sourdough bread
• 1 cup buttery crackers

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, ham, onions and jalapeno peppers. Cut a circle out of the top of the bread, and remove the center leaving a 1 inch shell of bread. Fill bread with the cheese mixture.
3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the dip is heated through. Serve with crackers for a wonderful taste experience!
