Friends, not even gonna' lie. The past few days have been a bit crazy around here. The holiday whirl has definitely begun! As a busy mom (4 kids keep me super occupied, for sure!) I don't have a ton of excess time on my hands, and the busyness of the holiday season only tends to add to our already hectic schedule. In all of the busyness though, I want to pause and soak in some of the holiday magic with the kids this Christmas. So, in an effort to free up some time, I grabbed my recipe book and earmarked a few of my favorite fast and delicious holiday recipes, to ensure that I don't spend the entire month sequestered in the kitchen! One of my top 5 favorite family recipes, is this 10 minute hot crab dip. My mom used to make this when I was young; totally timeless and always a crowd pleaser!

- Place your crab dip, and your baking sheet into the oven for 7-9 minutes.

- With your Hot Crab Dip still in the oven, slide the oven rack out and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the top of your dip. Turn the broiler on for 2-3 minutes (until the top of your dip is golden brown). Remove from the oven, serve alongside Cole's MIDDLES - perfect for dipping!
