What about this "Spin Dip" stuff?!?

After my last post (and mentioning something on Facebook), I've had many inquiries about WHAT IN THE WORLD this "Spin Dip" stuff is! Well, my friends...it's Spinach dip (no artichoke included), and it's YUM-O!

Credit for the recipe goes to my good friend, Christie. She introduced it to me many years ago (my recipe cards says 2004). It's super easy to make, and I make it a lot. My family requests it every Christmas, and I make it for many other occasions.

SPINACH DIP

10oz. package of chopped, frozen spinach (thawed)

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 c. shredded Monterrey jack cheese

(I can never find a bag of Monterrey only cheese, so I usually get a mix that has Mont. in it)

10 oz. can Rotelle, drained well

1/4 c. cream (half and Half or whole milk)
1/3 c. chopped onions (or more)
salt, pepper, garlic salt-all to taste

Combine all ingredients in greased 8x8 pan
bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes

Enjoy~

*Sorry I didn't get a pic of the end result! Tonya, Heidi and I were too excited to dig into it :) It's a hot, cheesy, bubbly pan of goodness! I served mine with On the Border Chips and a few of the new Tostitos BLUE chips mixed in. I call those my K-State chips though...I think they look purple!

Happy Palm Sunday! I was sad we didn't make it to church today. Last night, I didn't think Barrett was feeling well enough to go, but this morning he seemed to be better. Runny nose and lots of coughing. He played outside with his cousins this morning though, so he was ready for a nap. Hopefully it's nothing big...we have a trip to Nebraska coming up soon!

Since Barrett didn't get a palm branch this year, here is a pic of him from Palm Sunday 2009.
