Pizza Dip

I am finally back from Michigan.  I am happy to be home. I am not so much in the mood to be cooking though.  Shhh...and don't tell Mr. J.  He will be all the ready to go out and nix my quinoa bowl with roasted veggies idea for dinner. 

Another dip I made for the office birthday celebration was pizza dip. This one wasn't super special.  Think cheese pizza. After all I was trying to please 45 different tastes.

I like it this way though the best.  Lots of cheese and some sauce.  Served with tortilla chips.

If you want to jazz it up a bit think pepperonis and olives.
