Spinach Artichoke Dip Casserole

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I am beginning to realize that I rely on many of the same methods when trying to come up with new and fun dishes for our family to eat.

For the most part, I just throw things together that I think will taste good. I’ve heard this called kitchen intuition recently and I really like that term. I know not everyone has that ability, but I firmly believe everybody could with just a little practice and a willingness to mess up every once in a while. Believe me, we’ve had our share of meals that went straight in the trash too.

Another thing I do, which has probably become noticeable on here, is to take restaurant favorites and make them my own. Or I also like to repurpose dishes and courses. Like this recipe – one of my favorite appetizer dips turned into a complete meal.
