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


1 head iceberg lettuce
1/2 head romaine lettuce
1 red onion (thinly sliced*)
1/2 ounce pimientos (diced and drained)
1 small can artichoke hearts (drained and crumbled into fourths)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Dressing
4 tablespoons corn or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
* use smallest food processor blade or a meat slicer to get them as paper-thin as possible
In large bowl, combine the following: Break head of iceberg lettuce into quarters separating the layers. Break romaine lettuce into thirds. Add sliced onions, pimientos, artichoke hearts, and grated parmesan. Toss and chill.
Pour dressing on a few minutes before serving--if you do it too far in advance the salad will wilt. Toss well before serving.

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.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

I worked for pasta house for several years. Great staff and to date this is still my favorite salad. I have never grown tired of it.
