Spinach and Artichoke Dip Chicken Fritters. These fritters are going to be your new favorite way to use chicken breasts. They’re tender and juicy on the inside with plenty of melted cheese and a crisp crust, and they taste just like your favorite dip! Working from home means a lot of things, but it especially…
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Baked Potatoes
This recipe for Spinach and Artichoke Dip Baked Potatoes has also been featured on Serious Eats. Have any of you ever done those DNA heritage tests? I did, mainly to try to fill in gaps in my family tree (which I’ve been working on for eons), and to figure out what debilitating diseases I’m at a…
Pesto Parmesan Spinach Balls
“Baked” and “spinach filled” aren’t usually words that instantly scream hit appetizer to me, but there’s a reason that Spinach Balls have been a popular potluck dish for decades. If you’ve never had them before, you’ve been missing out: they’re savory, with a crisp outside and tender center, and they’re so easy to just pop…
Strawberry Avocado Spinach Salad with Greek Yogurt Poppy Seed Dressing
Something strange happened last week that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. James and I went to a cook-out where the hosts totally (and deliciously) went overboard with the food: there were sausages of every sort, kebabs piled so high on platters that it looked like they’d topple over, racks upon racks of ribs,…
Chicken Bacon Pressed Picnic Sandwiches with Raspberry Honey Mustard
About five years ago, I met James’ mom over a platter of pressed picnic sandwiches. I know that I’ve mentioned this once before, but bear with me. James had spent the past few months of our friendship-turned-budding-relationship letting me know all about his mom– or maybe not so much about her as he did about her food, which…
Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot
I don’t know what I’ve enjoyed more: soaking up all of the compliments I’ve gotten about this Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot, or soaking up all of that sauce with slice after slice of crusty bread. On second thought, I’m totally lying. It’s the sauce, hands down, no contest. I’m in love with it, I want…
Creamy Lemon Butter Shrimp Pasta with Spinach and Caramelized Garlic
I’ve been seeing drunk food all over facebook lately– the stuff you make when you’ve had a lot to drink and suddenly you are Gordon Ramsey, nay, Alain Ducasse, nay, not even a Picasso of food could rival your superhuman creative flair in the kitchen. It’s revolutionary. It’s avante-garde. It… usually features heavy use of the microwave.
Saucy Skillet Chicken Sausage and Spinach Stuffed Peppers
There’s something about stuffed peppers that always feels like the cozy, tuck-you-in type of comfort food to me. They’re also the kind of comfort food that I tend to avoid in the warmer months because most recipes require turning on the oven. When it feels like an oven outside, I try not to use the oven inside, you know?…
White Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups
Sure, at first glance, it may just look like a big dish of tender pasta, creamy white sauce, and melted cheese, but it’s really so much more than that. Well, actually, that’s pretty much exactly what it is. But there’s also shredded chicken and spinach tucked between each rolled noodle, which both gives it a…
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Stuffed Garlic Bread
I hope I never go through another bad break-up. I certainly don’t plan to. But if the unfortunate day comes when I’m licking my emotional wounds while watching Pretty Woman and ugly-crying on the couch, I will break one break-up stereotype: I’ll stay away from the Ben & Jerry’s. I’ll make myself this Spinach and Artichoke Dip…
Cheesy Fiesta Black Bean Spinach Dip
Some people say that sunshine makes them happy. Some people say that spending time with their families makes them happy. Some people feel happy when their favorite song comes on the radio. That’s all nice I suppose, but to me, happiness is a warm dip. Might as well just forget about all of that other stuff…
Four Cheese Sausage & Spinach Lasagna
This is the last thing I made before burning the ever-loving you-know-what out of my fingers. About two weeks ago, I was making this Four Cheese Sausage and Spinach Lasagna and some Jack Daniels Burgers to bring to my friend’s surprise party. My lasagna was fresh out of the oven and I was trying to position it…
Slow Cooker Sausage, Spinach, and Artichoke Dip
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about that Spinach and Artichoke Dip Alfredo I made last year. And the oft requested Crab and Artichoke Dip. Oh, and Spinach Dip Bites, too! Mainly because they’re all freakin’ delicious, but also because I have an obsession with any recipe that uses a ton of cheese, spinach, and/or artichokes….
Mediterranean Vegetable Lasagna
Okay, I’m just going to lay it out there right away– this isn’t really a lasagna. Please put down your pitchforks, food-name-purists, and open your hearts to this layered lasagna-esque casserole of zucchini, eggplant, spinach, cheese, and bechamel. It’s seriously yummy, no matter what you call it in-between mouthfuls. Ever since I first made the Zucchini,…
Zucchini, Feta, and Spinach Fritters with Garlic Tzatziki
You know how I said that the garlicky tzatziki from those Loaded Greek Chicken Pitzas was addictive? Well, I made these fritters just so I could slather them in that sauce. The Zucchini, Feta, and Spinach Fritters turned out amazingly, by the way. The taste almost reminded me of Spanakopita, but with the added mild flavor of grated zucchini,…
One Pot Roasted Red Pepper and Sausage Alfredo
You know that feeling when you’re working on something and you’re like 75% sure it’s not going to turn out well for one reason or another? That’s how I felt about this One Pot Roasted Red Pepper and Sausage Alfredo. I should have been more confident, I guess, since the One Pot Spicy Chicken Riggies…
