Finger foods

Last weekend after all the holiday festivities were done we decided to have a finger foods dinner. Just a few dishes that are easy to made, and more importantly easy to eat. One of them was my Mom's famous spinach dip. This dip is something my Mom made usually around the holidays or for any family party. And as a teenager my cousins and I would always make it on New Year's Eve. So making it always brings back great memories for me.

Here is the recipe;

• 1 Onion
• 1 Small bell pepper (I usually use green but any color is fine)
• 1 bag of frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 1 small brick of Velveeta

(I usually serve this is a hollowed out round loaf of bread you can use any you like I usually go with sourdough)

Start by chopping up the onion and the pepper and begin cooking them in a pan with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When those have softened add the thawed spinach and cook that until heated through. As the spinach is warming cube up the Velveeta and once the spinach in warm add the cheese and stir until melted.

Once the dip is done place in a hollowed out bread bowl and serve with raw veggies and/or chips.

We also had pigs in a blanket which I love! And the joy is these things couldn't be more simple. I got a package of cocktail wienies and a tube of crescent rolls. I take the crescent roll dough a cut each triangles in half a roll one wienie in each piece of dough. Then I bake them according to the directions until they are golden brown. Enjoy@
