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


3 cups half and half
8 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese
3 tablespoons fresh, chopped herbs
2 tablespoons fresh, chopped garlic
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
9 whole eggs, lightly beaten
1 loaf (approximately 1 pound size) day-old French or Italian bread cut into 1-inch cubes
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat half and half in a stainless steel pot to a simmer. Add cheese, herbs, garlic, oil, seasoning and stir until cheese is melted.
Slowly add liquid mixture to beaten eggs. Pour egg/cheese mixture over bread and let stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Pour this mixture into a buttered 10 inch springform pan and bake for 1 hour or until the top is golden brown and puffed. Let cool slightly, unmold, slice and serve warm.
Prepare as a side dish with chicken, beef or pork, or serve as an appetizer with roasted peppers, tomatoes and olives.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
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.
