Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Made it as per recipe, put on top of a cake. Very nice, easy. Keep stirring but no need to go too slow (I didn't know about eggs separating before I read the previous comments, went at half power heat all the way, no prob.)

The result is delicious. This takes time though! Because I was heating a mixture with eggs I was afraid of starting too hot, so had the pan at low-medium at first. Believe the recipe when it says "stir constantly" - the eggs really wanted to separate. I gradually increased the heat to med. but this took nearly an hour. Look for a beautifully thickened custard, nearly the consistency of regular icing when it's still hot.
