CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

CAJUN SPINACH DIP TO DIE FOR



Cajun Spinach Dip to Die For image

When in New Orleans a few years back, I bought a copy of 'Dat Little Cajun Cookbook by Chef Remy (not the chef in Ratatouille!). There are so many similar Spinach dips out there, Chef Remy's is a little different and more "made from scratch". I made some minor adjustments which are reflected here. (If cajun seasoning is unavailable, use seasoned salt with a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes)
