Slow cooker spinach artichoke dip makes me want to sing! It’s gone — all of it. I made a batch of homemade spinach artichoke dip last week, and before 24 hours were up, most of the dip was already gone. Never mind the fact that this dip feeds 8-10 people and we don’t even have half that amount living in our house. Spinach artichoke dip is one of those things I always see at Costco in the refrigerated section but never bother purchasing....
Therattipal brings back lots of memories from my childhood. In my village in Southern India, tharatipaal made out of fresh cow’s milk was a norm. My grandmother used to make it on a firewood stove (Verakku aduppu) and the smell of it was out of this world. I really wish that I made this quite often, but with the lifestyle these days, I always seem to be rushed for time....

published Sep 13, 2021 Do you have a favorite condiment – one that tastes so good you want to eat it with everything? Whether they’re spicy or sweet, pepper pastes are a favorite of mine.

I have a confession to make. I have a borderline inappropriate love for salsa. There; I said it. Promise, if there is a will, there is a way. I will sneak salsa into almost ANYTHING. Okay, not like dessert or anything, because that’s just weird. But pretty much everything else. I’ve used it as dressing on a salad. Healthier, and so much tastier than salad dressing. And just plain old, gosh-darn good....
