And so…another week of my anti-Sugar Rush continues. Well, not that I’m anti-sugar, but like I explained last week, I am changing it up this year and doing two weeks of savory, delectable appetizer “treats” with a highlighted recipe from years past of Sugar Rush. I feel a little redundant swooning over each of the recipes I’ve posted with Sugar Rush Reinvented, but I’m telling you, I hit on some wondrous recipes this go-round. Even though I stated the pinwheels were my favorite, I had to sidestep that claim when the pizza bites knocked my socks off, and now…if the quantity of queso blanco dip I devoured (rephrase: me and the baby devoured) is any indication, this might be my actual favorite.
Until tomorrow, that is. So creamy. So smooth and perfectly melted. So flavorful. Click HERE to see all of this year’s Sugar Rush Reinvented recipes. Note: White American cheese can be found at the deli counter in most grocery stores. Ingredients Directions. Dip Recipes: Cheese, Spinach, Bean and More! Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip. There’s one appetizer that, if all else fails, we WILL order at a restaurant: spinach artichoke dip. Hey, it’s what we do. We look at other options and then go with the one that we know we’ll both love and consume way too much of.
What’s wrong with that? Nothing. Nothing at all. However, I have to say that I’m a homemade spinach artichoke dip virgin. Never made it, never even attempted it, unless you count the TGIFriday’s frozen appetizers or Lay’s jarred dip. This dip has all of 4 ingredients and tastes heavenly. 1 box frozen spinach, thawed and with the liquid squeezed out1 bag frozen artichokes, thawed and with the liquid drained away2 wheels of Laughing Cow Swiss cheese (you can do the light version here as well)1 tsp garlic powder¼ tsp cayenne peppersalt and pepper to taste In a food processor (or, if you like it chunky you can just mix in a bowl) process all of the ingredients together.
I repeat: DEVOUR.
