Irish trivia and spinach artichoke dip make for a warm, festive gathering this St. Patrick’s Day. So invite your friends over, pour a favorite beverage and settle in for some fun. Or as Shelley and Rachaell would say, “Let the shenanigans begin!”
If you’ve visited our store in Frankenmuth, Michigan, you might recognize these two ladies from our gifts department. Indeed, we’re delighted to have Shelley and Rachaell on the Bronner’s team. What’s more, you’ll find these two to be true and fast friends.
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Begin the festivities with warm spinach and artichoke dip fresh from the oven. We served this delicious dip with pita chips. For gluten and carb-sensitive guests, you could serve corn chips or corn tortilla chips. Another great option is fresh vegetables like celery and carrot sticks for dipping. Indeed, this recipe and many others are available in “Bronner’s Flavorful Favorites” staff cookbook.

Great Glassware
We certainly love Egyptian Museum Glass pieces for the variety of ways they can be used in the home. For example, we’ve taken the martini glass with its beautiful lines and used it to serve dip and chips. The stemless wine glass features a non-alcoholic Irish favorite – cranberry juice! In addition, we found the Egyptian Museum Glass fruit bowl perfect for candle making, too.
Our Polish glass vase (#1242907) and tea-light holder (#1242222) along with some fresh flowers are all you need for festive, colorful decor. With this in mind, pick up some yellow daisies, one or two types of greenery and baby’s breath. If you need some floral arranging tips, Better Homes and Gardens can help. (Polish glass vase and tea-light holder available in-store or by contacting customer service at 800.361.6736 or customerservice@bronners.com.)
