stupidly expensive when bought at the deli or commercial
products... frozen spinach (chop it some more - it's usually not chopped much), sour cream, knorr vegetable dip mix, and a can of water chestnuts (chop them up if you want smaller chunks). recently we've been making this for a change of pace. i scoop some into a small bowl and add some hot sauce for added zing. not too much cooking going on here lately. i need to get another pot of beans made so we can freeze some again. songbird |

Having spent part of my life in the south west I really like refried beans (blended pinto beans while still hot with bacon grease added with other spicy southwest seasonings). |

It was served inside a hollowed out loaf of dark rye and with the cut out part chopped up into dipping size pieces. It looked kind of gross so no one was eating it. I was standing there talking to someone and I tried it. It was good so I had some more. One of the people I was talking to asked me if it was good and I said it was delicious. She tried it and went for more. Then one of the others tried it. It caught on and was consumed within minutes. It became a very popular party dip. |

Bacon flavor ruins refried beans... bacon is not a flavor of the southwest... unless you're talking southwest Harlem. I much prefer refried beans made with black beans... simply mash canned black beans with liquid in the pan used to fry properly seasoned (s n'p, garlic, cumin) pork chops until the liquid reduces to your liking... add the chops back briefly to reheat. |

I don't much care for it steamed, and it has to be just barely wilted before it develops a nasty taste. Yet, it is delicious in many other forms. I can handle small doses of it raw in a salad. I love spanakopita and that spinach dip. I love eggs Florentine and scrambled eggs with spinach and hot sauce. |

Thawed and well drained frozen chopped spinach (I use a collapsible vegetable steamer do drain the excess liquid well.) It calls for drained canned chopped artichoke hearts; I buy the canned halved hearts and chop them coarsley. A little sour cream (or plain yogurt or mayonnaise), a small block of cream cheese, grated parm or romano. S&P. Combine everything until heated through. Serve hot in a toasted bread bowl and use the center of the bread for dipping. This is circa parties from the 1980's but is quite nice. Or you could skip the bread bowl and eat it with some crackers. The addition of some hot sauce for your portion sounds fine. ![]() I really like artichoke lemon pesto. It's a snack kind of thing to be served with crackers or perhaps toast: 2 cans artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed 5 cloves garlic 3 Tbs. capers 1 Tbs. pine nuts (pigolis) or chopped walnuts 2 green onions, white part only, diced the zest and juice of one fresh lemon 1 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 to 1/2 c. olive oil, as needed Use a food processor or blender to chop the ingredients, adding the oil gradually until the mixture reaches desired texture. IMHO, it should should still be slightly chunky. Store refrigerated in tightly covered jars. Makes about 4 cups. Jill |

We should all know by know I love spinach quiche with feta cheese. ![]() I also like spinach in an omelet with a bit of melted brie. Remind me to do that again sometime soon. Jill |

Take Italian food as an example. We associate it with pasta, tomatoes and hot peppers, and those things are all imports. The noodles are supposed to have come from Asia, and tomatoes and hot peppers came from South America, so they were unknown in Italy until the 1500s. Potatoes are a major part of European diets, and they are another import from the Americas. One of my favourite desserts when I was a kid was Junket. I have not seen that stuff in a grocery store in more than 49 years. |

That is a shame. > Janet US the spinach dip recipe also originally called for parmesian cheese, but i'm very glad to not have it in there as i think the dip with the seasoning mix is plenty enough and with the cheese would probably be more salty and heavier than i'd like. also if i were making the spinach dip for myself i'd probably try half whole milk yogurt and half sour cream to lighten it up even more. i like that it is light and not heavy. i also like that it is eaten cold. ![]() songbird |
