Jane,
ReplyDeleteI made your spinach artichoke dip today and it was yummy, everyone loved it! I even doubled the recipe cause it was a larger group and split it into 2 crocks. I was wondering if you recommend chopping the spinach before/after sauteing? I just used the baby spinach in the bag. Thanks, menu to come.

ReplyDeleteTues: Pancakes, fruit--probably yummy ripe peaches, bacon

cori - I have to say, I think chopping the spinach before sautéing it is a good idea. I never think of it until AFTER I've sautéed, but even the baby spinach can be a bit unruly and stringy in the dip. EXCELLENT POINT! I'm going to go add that into the recipe on the blog. thanks! and I'm so glad it was a hit - yea!
