Hi! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
Jane,
I made your spinach artichoke dip today and it was yummy, everyone loved it! I even doubled the recipe cause it was a larger group and split it into 2 crocks. I was wondering if you recommend chopping the spinach before/after sauteing? I just used the baby spinach in the bag. Thanks, menu to come.

cori – I have to say, I think chopping the spinach before sautéing it is a good idea. I never think of it until AFTER I’ve sautéed, but even the baby spinach can be a bit unruly and stringy in the dip. EXCELLENT POINT! I’m going to go add that into the recipe on the blog. thanks! and I’m so glad it was a hit – yea!
