This is an easy homemade spinach and artichoke pizza you’ll be sure to love if you like the dip. I made a white sauce with red onions and garlic, instead of a traditional red sauce. We make pizza almost every week, and I have been trying to think of some different variations I haven’t made [...]

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Spinach artichoke dip is my favorite appetizer dip. We first started having it in restaurants, but there were so many versions that were just downright bad. I remember ordering a spinach artichoke dip at a restaurant that was so greasy and disgusting, I had to send it back, and I hate sending things back to [...]

Monday, January 11th, 2010

This is one of the easiest tomato soup recipes. All you have to do is add the ingredients to a soup pot and cook.  The added spinach adds alot of nutrition and makes this soup more interesting than traditional tomato soup.  I like to keep the spinach leaves whole, but you can chop them before [...]

I added spinach and tomato to orzo to create a colorful and flavorful side dish.  The orzo is lightly browned first in butter and a little garlic.  The browned butter gives this dish an addicting flavor you will love.

I use to make chicken Marsala just as a meat dish, with sides, but I loved the sauce so much I wondered what the best way was to enjoy more of the delicious sauce, so I just cut up the chicken and added pasta. Now this is my favorite way to do chicken Marsala.  I [...]
