The dip looks amazing! I've got a problem though, Hubby for some reason balks at corn. I LOVE corn in soups, salads, appetizers, etc. So what I'm planning to do is make this at a family gathering. I KNOW everyone will go nuts over it and then he'll say it was his idea. 🙂 I'm pinning.
Stephanie
Thanks Marisa and maybe you can convince the Hubby to like corn with this dip 🙂 Thanks for pinning!
