I want to extend a special welcome to Kim Anthony, new CEO at Haywood Park Community Hospital. This is Kim’s first week on the job and I have heard some very nice comments from those who have had the opportunity to meet her. Welcome, Kim! I hope you will be very happy in our little corner of the world.

 

Here’s this week’s recipe. It’s for all you guys getting ready for the Super Bowl. Make this tasty dip and you’ll be the hit of the party. Thanks to John Gallaspy for sharing. If you like this feature, send one (or more) of your recipes to sonia@allaboutbrownsville.net
