Mississippi Sin Dip

Mississippi Sin Dip -- A Pinch of Joy Creamy, melty, and so Sinfully good

Mississippi Sin Dip is creamy, cheesy, flavorful and so sinfully good!  I understand the "sin" part of the name, but not why Mississippi should get all the glory.  But then I am woefully undereducated about Mississippi,  My mother taught us to spell it: M I crooked letter crooked letter, I crooked letter crooked letter I poke bonnet poke bonnet I -- a rhyme drawn from her incredible store of oral tradition and folk stories.   I can tell you that we were hundreds of miles from Mississippi's location on the Gulf Coast and this still tasted sinfully good.

Invest 15 Minutes Planning YOURNew Years Goals -- A Pinch of Joy

The holiday wrappings and glitter are packed away, new calendars in place and regular activity resumed.  The new year is still fresh and expectant.  It’s a perfect time to think about where we were last year and where we hope to be at the end of this year.  It will only take fifteen minutes to draw a road map of our hoped for destination for the coming year.  Knowing where you intend to go will help make decisions and guide your actions during the coming year, reducing stress, as well as saving time and money. First,  we need to figure out where we are.  Take a moment to jot down your top accomplishments for the past year.
