BAKED CREAMY SPINACH DIP
I'm a fan of classic dishes but frequently tweak them a bit to suit my family's tastes. My cheesy spinach dip is a little lighter than other versions I've seen and pairs well with bagel chips. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

NOT YOUR AVERAGE BAKED SPINACH DIP
A delicious change of pace to the regular version of spinach dip. Nice and spicy -- feel free to leave out the "pickled" jalapeno if you want the dip less spicy.
