Spinach and Artichoke Dip

One of the best parts about any Superbowl party is the food. You’re bound to eat more dip and finger foods on Superbowl Sunday than any other day. Spinach and artichoke dip is a classic that always goes over well. My brother is known for this dip. He made it once and we always request it from him. I finally got him to share his secret recipe and I’m sharing it with all of you. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a dip to take to your Superbowl party.

    I LOVE butternut squash… especially when roasted until slightly crisp on the outside. Your caramelized version looks great – I will need to add a touch of brown sugar and butter next time I make it.

    I have a butternut squash from my CSA that I’m dying to cut into. I have a question though, how does one peel a butternut squash?

    Melissa – I like to use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler to peel the skin off. You could do it with a knife, but I would be worried about cutting myself.

    Sounds like a fabulous way to prepare those squash. I’ll have to remember this for if we have another bumper crop next year!

    Hi Jen, nice seeing you again yesterday. I usually roast my butternut squash with brown sugar too but I can’t believe I never thought of adding butter! I usually omit the salt and pepper because I like it very dessert-like, so I add cinnamon too 🙂

    I love butternut squash too. It’s definitely delicious with just a bit of brown sugar. Sometimes I go a bit overboard and roast it with a whole lot of butter, brown, sugar, and maple syrup.
