I consider myself blessed and lucky for a number of reasons. NOTE: Not in any particular order Reasons I’m Lucky – Top Ten List I have lived to be 56 years old. Never thought I would make it this far and I look forward to my next birthday. I am one of the happiest people on earth. Yep, it’s true. I continue to be amazed by all around me – mountains, oceans, plants, birds, animals, people – and never fail to appreciate their beauty and differences. Thank you Mom and Dad.

Then again, when I saw her receipe for Bacon and Bleu Cheese Dip, my decision became very easy. I love blue cheese and my husband has also acquired a taste for it over the years. I’ve been looking for a recipe that I can say is THE best Blue Cheese Dressing that I have found – AND I want it to be a recipe that I will keep forever. I’ve found it. No doubt, I’m lucky.
