We had our annual neighbor party on Labor Day with five families at our place. With a swimming pool, hammock, plenty of room for the kids to run, and a giant firepit for bonfires, our home is perfect for an outdoor summer party.

Artichoke and Spinach Dip
This is my favorite version of this popular dish.
1 can artichokes, coarsely chopped or 1 jar Trader Joe's Artichoke Antipasto
1 package frozen spinach, microwave and drain water
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup Parmesan
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 oz. jack cheese, grated
Combine everything and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until warm. Serve with vegetables and a good French or Italian bread sliced and baked until crusty.
