a monthly dinner club
If you are new here, let me explain about my dinner club.
About 2 years ago, I joined 4 other blogger friends and created a virtual dinner club.
Every other month, we have a theme, and we each create a tablescape to go along with our theme.
We also create a menu to go along with the theme, and we take turns with each of the courses, and share a drink, appetizer, side dish, main entree and a dessert.
I love creating themed tablescapes and seeing what my friends come up with for their table designs.
And there are always so many great recipes, so you don’t want to miss that!
This month we are happy to have Wendy from WM Design House joining us.

easy grilled skillet spinach and artichoke dip
This month I had the appetizer for our menu.
One of my favorite appetizer recipes is a spinach artichoke dip.
I typically make it in the oven but recently tried cooking it on the grill in a cast iron skillet.
It turned out so good and makes it so easy when you are already grilling outside for an outdoor party and cookout.
If you’re looking for the perfect appetizer for a summer get together, look no further than this easy grilled skillet spinach and artichoke dip recipe!
