| My wife and I were standing in the kitchen staring into the cupboard trying to think of something interesting to make and eat. Knowing full well that this site is a diverse and cultured group, I was wondering if members would cut and paste their favorite recipes into this thread in the hopes that others can enjoy that "secret" recipe that you crave once and awhile. |

Spinach Dip
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 packet of Knorr brand vegetable soup mix
1 teaspoon dry onion soup mix (mix well before measuring)
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 green onions, chopped
Squeeze spinach to remove excess liquid. Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Chill dip at least two hours.
Makes about 4 1/2 cups dip.
Serving Suggestion: Hollow out a round loaf of bread and fill with the dip. Cut the middle section of the bread into desired shape and place around the dip along with an assortment of fresh vegetables. |

I order this dish almost every time we go. Check out the website and see if there is one in your area and I highly recommend trying it if there is one near. www.theclubhouse.com
