A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

A classic spinach dip recipe. Serve in a hollowed out bread bowl.

This recipe has been around forever but it's always a hit. I serve it in a bread bowl usually because I think bread dippers go best with it but buttery crackers work well too.

This is indeed the classic version of spinach dip that we all know and love. I always make it for parties even if I have more "upscale" dips with it because no matter how picky a foodie is they will always eat this. ALWAYS! Plus you can make it ahead of time which is always a plus for parties.

I always use the Leek Soup mix, people always loved when I make it. I think the leek soup gives it a better flavor than the veggie. You be the judge!

This spinach dip is grrreat! I used Liptons Onion soup mix & it worked out nice. I used the food processor to chop the onions & spinach (my 5 y.o. couldn't tell there were onions in it, lol). Overall its a simple & quick recipe to make. My guests absolutely loved it & requested the recipe for it. That's when you know it's good..... Mmmmm!

I made this for a wedding.... I had never made spinach dip fresh like this. It turned out wonderful and a pretty color. I also used the Hidden Valley Ranch.

Love this recipe - I used Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix instead of the vegetable dix mix because I had some on hand. It was great!

My favorite recepy. I lost it and am glad to find it again. Great with pumpernikel bread. Hollow out the bread and put the dip in centre, use pieces of bread as dippers and then eat the bowl. Yum! Yum!
