It's been awhile since I made this recipe and it's going to go into regular rotation. It's simple and easy to make, but it freezes great to enjoy later.

Do you ever find yourself with a bunch of random ingredients in the refrigerator and want to use them up before they go bad ... or is it just me?

Spinach dip is the ultimate appetizer for any party or gathering. I decided to take it to another with the addition of roasted poblano peppers. They added a bit of heat and gave this dip a great twist. My kids didn't even notice the peppers and ate it with no issues. 2 large poblano peppers… Continue reading Roasted Poblano Spinach Dip
