Hall of Fame Spinach Dip
This dish had mouths salivating! Spinach Dip is becoming more popular with the general public. People are really enjoying this dish, but then again, you can make almost anything taste good if you add a slice of cheese to it! The differences between my spinach and most spinach dips at commercial restaurants are the slices of avocado layered on top to give it some additional nutritional value. Also, the Monetary jack cheese gives the spinach dip a little KICK that ignites the taste buds!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz of Half & Half
- 8 oz of Cream Cheese
- 12 oz of Monetary Pepper Jack cheese
- 6 oz bag of frozen spinach or regular spinach in a bag
- 1 Avocado fruit
- Coconut oil to put inside pot to not stick
- Pita bread slices
- Good Energy! (Always cook happy!)
Instructions:
1. Start off by heating a small/medium size pot (depending on feeding size)
2. Put olive oil (good) or coconut oil (better) in the pot while it's heating up
3. Once at desired temperature, melt cream cheese in pot while adding Half & Half and Monetary Jack cheese until evenly blended
4. Spinach:
- IF you use the frozen spinach, thaw it out by poking a hole inside the bag and running hot water over it. Once thawed out, drain the bag by squeezing the water out of the previously poked out.
- IF you DO NOT USE frozen spinach, cook the spinach in a pan. You can add salt & pepper if desired
5. Lather a conventional oven pot with coconut oil or butter (tastes better) so that the dip does not stick to pot
--------------- Before the next step, start preheating your oven to 375 degrees ---------------
6. After spinach and cheese sauce/dip are ready, add both into a conventional oven pot
7. Stir and mix until evenly blended. If need be, add more Half & Half until you reach your desired thickness
8. Slice Avocado pieces and layer the top of the the dip or mix slices into the dip if you please
9. Set in oven for 30 mins (check periodically every 10 mins). Let sit in oven until light brown on top
10. After being taken out of the oven, let the dip "rest" for 10 mins, then ENJOY! ;)
To make this great appetizer even better, use thick pita bread as dippers instead of chips. You can buy pita bread already sliced or you can do it the homemade way and cut a bunches of slices from a whole one, butter them (optional), and pop them in the oven for 10-15 mins so they come out nice and crispy. Makes the dip taste THAT much better.

I hope you have enjoy making these delicious dishes. At no point, feel like you have to follow these instructions "word for word". I deem cooking as an Art, allowing an individual to be as creative as they want, showing who they are through their food creations. EXPRESS YOURSELF!
If there was a recipe that wasn't on here that you wanted to see, don't worry! There will be more recipe posts soon! Just add a comment for the recipes you want to see on here next time.
I believe these foods are much healthier than McDonald's and Burger King. They take a little bit longer to make, but are worth the wait.
