Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I didn't love the texture of the cottage cheese mixture. I think I will use mayo next time or maybe more yogurt. Or maybe try tofu instead of just the cottage cheese.

I did the vegan option of this pasta recipe and it was really good. I liked the cilantro pesto quite a bit. I'm going to use that on other dishes as well.
