Unfortunately the BEST team didn't win the super bowl this year. I am sure that many of you can guess... Sean and I were cheering for the New England Patriots! However, despite the fact that our team didn't win last night, we still had a blast eating way too much food and watching football with friends.
Lately I have been trying tons of new recipes, thanks to pinterest. These are two that I couldn't wait to make for the superbowl. The first recipe is for the most amazing chocolate chip cookie dough truffles. They were a little more labor intensive than I expected (I had to roll out about 80 balls) but well worth it.
This recipe is actually my mom's and is an amazing hot spinach and artichoke dip. This is a Page Family party must have. It is really easy to make and is absolutely delicious. I serve this with wheat thins but I am sure any kind of cracker or pita chip would be great as well.
Spinach & Artichoke Dip
1 stick of butter
1 cup chopped onion
2 10 oz. packages frozen chopped spinach
1 14 oz. can artichoke heats
1 Package cream cheese- at room temperature so it is easier to mix in
1 8 oz. sour cream
1 cup Monteray Jack cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbls Tabassco pepper sauce – green
Salt to taste- I just used salted butter
Melt butter & onions. Add cooked & drained spinach and artichoke hearts drained (I cut up the artichoke hearts). Add cream cheese, sour cream, ¾ monteray & Parmesan Cheese, and tabascco sauce. Pour into casserole and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
Ok I'm so angry at how perfect your cookie dough balls turned out. I tried the recipe as well and could not get the chocolate to stick the cookie dough and then the cookie dough melted. It was a serious mess. You will have to share the trick with me.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do anything special... I just followed the recipe. I think the trick is making sure they are nice and cold (put them in the freezer for about an hour) before dipping them in the chocolate so they don't melt.
