Two Recipe Day

by Irene Lindvall


I brought both these dishes to a get together with friends and they went over very well.

Appetizer: Spinach Artichoke Dip

I tried this recipe for the first time this past holiday season and everyone loved it. I combine everything in the Cuisinart, pop it in the oven and serve with mini pita bread. The kick of the chili flakes is my favorite part.

Things I learned from this recipe:

This time I made two hours ahead of time, put it in the refrigerator and brought it with me unbaked and it turned out fine. 

Would I make this recipe again:

Definitely - it's a crowd pleaser.

Salad: Greek Salad

I used to make this recipe all the time for family and somewhere along the way stopped. I'm not sure why, but I'm happy to throw it back into the mix. It is so easy to make (it dose take a lot of time to cut & chop) and the taste is so fresh.

Fun fact: I've had this recipe since April 2006.

Things I learned from this recipe:

Definitely take the time to drain the dish prior to adding the cheese and the dressing, especially if pre-making and chilling in the refrigerator for awhile.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Absolutely
