Time to Tailgate: Delicious Dishes!

Hi bloggers and friends!  We are trying something new starting this week!  At HH Design house, we are "theme-ing"  each week in our blog, on Facebook, and twitter as well as showing you all the fabulous products and designs we offer!  This week's theme is "Time to Tailgate".  It's week three of college football and the NFL. We are so excited to give you ideas, recipes, and products to help you throw the ultimate--personalized-- tailgate party!  
GO TEAM!!!

Food (and team spirit) are the main ingredients to any successful tailgate or watch party. We love our food as much as we love our favorite team.  We have to cook from our favorite cookbook, "Culinary Classics from Beachside to Boardwalk" and our favorite recipe is the delicious crab dip.  It is a staple at any party or special occasion at the Hardcastle home. Here is how to make it!

Hot Jalapeno Crab Dip

1 lb lump crab meat or imitation crab meat, shells removed
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeno chiles
4 oz. pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/ cup mayonnaise or reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 oz. Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese, grated

Combine the crab meat, garlic, jalapeno chiles, Pepper Jack Cheese, Worestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl and toss gently to mix.  Spoon into a shallow medium baking dish.  Sprinkle the Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese evenly over the top.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.  Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Seve with Melba toast.  Serves 6-8.
