Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

Savory comfort food doesn't have to be unhealthy. Creole shrimp and chicken definitely qualifies as comfort food, but this well-spiced bowl manages to do it without the mounds of butter and cheese that comfort favorites often resort to.
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups peeled diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 cups uncooked, cleaned small fresh shrimp
1 cup chopped, cooked chicken
Saute green pepper and onion in oil in a large skillet until vegetables are tender.
Stir in tomatoes, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, red pepper, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 to 30 minutes or until mixture thickens.
Stir in shrimp and chicken (mixture will thin when shrimp is added). Return to a boil; reduce heat, and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

This recipe was good. The directions say to bring the mixture to a boil but there really isn't much liquid to boil unless you're using canned (undrained) tomatoes, but the recipe doesn't specify that. It's a nice lowfat recipe with lots of flavor (loved all the spices).
