Healthy tailgate food: Spinach Dip { Holly Clegg’s new cookbook give away! }
My friend, Holly Clegg, has a new cookbook out called, Kitchen 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence. Holly’s generously given me a copy to give away – details on how to win after the Spinach Dip recipe. It’s a terrific cookbook those just starting out on their healthy eating lifestyle. Since it has a photo for each recipe, it’s perfect for first time cooks, too. There’s also a chapter on Crock Pot cooking. Can’t wait to try out the brisket recipe!
When you have a second, check out Holly’s trim& TERRIFIC® recipes at hollyclegg.com and The Healthy Cooking Blog. But for now, read Holly’s guest post on football party entertaining!
Football is here
Football is here, and for me that means one thing – tailgate food! Whether you are watching the big game at home or tailgating outside, football food should be yummy for all ages, easy to serve, and quick to pick up to insure you are in your seat before the ball is in the air. With the Ready-Made Menus chapter from my new cookbook, Kitchen 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence, I’ve taken all of the dirty work out of party planning, no thinking required! Spinach Dip is a classic favorite and my version of this yummy make-ahead dip is made with an array of flavorful ingredients giving this recipe a powerful flavor and crunch. The dill and feta knock the dip out of the park! And serving couldn’t be simpler-pick your favorite chip or veggie to dip, spread on sandwiches or serve in a Hawaiian bread bowl to cut down on dirty dishes. Who would ever think a cold spinach dip and veggies could be so tasty?
