Recipe Sunday!
I made this dip yesterday before we went to a friends house, and the four of us housed it. I originally got this recipe from allrecipes.com, it's called Veronica's Hot spinach, artichoke dip. I served it with pita chips.
It tastes just like a traditional artichoke spinach dip, only you have an extra surprise kick of spiciness from the peppers.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (12 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/4 cup canned chopped jalapeno peppers, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix together the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the green chiles, Parmesan cheese, artichokes, peppers, and spinach. Spoon the mixture into a baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven until slightly browned, about 30 minutes.
Re: Recipe Sunday!
This is what I made last night for dinner. It is from Cooking Light, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I actually liked it and as MH said it tasted light and healthy!
Lime- Cilantro Pork Tacos
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into thin strips
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion ( I decided to carmalize these first so I made it slightly less healthy...)
1 small jalapeno pepper ( I also added both red and green peppers)
1/2 cup fat-free less sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped plum tomato
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
8 flour tortillas
1. Heat skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute until pork is browned. Remove from pan and set aside Add onion and peppers saute until tender. Add chicken broth, reduce heat and simmer. Stir in chopped tomato and simmer.
2. Return pork to pan. Stir in fresh cilantro and lime juice, cook for about a minute
3. Heat tortillas according to directions
I made this drip beef recipe in the crock pot yesterday for our football gathering:
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/02/drip-beef-two-ways/
I made the first version with the pepperocini, and it was AMAZING. I had to improvise and use a pot roast instead of chuck roast, but the results were magnificent. Fed 10 people with plenty of leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day. The pepperocini was just enough bite to give the sandwich a good kick. I highly recommend giving it a try! You can probably use a smaller cut of beef if making it for just 2-5 people, just make sure you shred it nice and good!
