I’ve been craving spinach dip so decided to whip up a batch as a little appetizer before dinner tonight. I definitely prefer hot spinach dips over the cold, which is what I’ve always made in the past. I’m not a big fan of all the mayo and sour cream in the cold dips. And I [...]

“Fried” Ravioli

June 22, 2007

One of our favorite little Italian places has this fabulous jalapeno ravioli. I’ve been craving it but I’ve been trying to avoid eating out. I decide to try making some spicy ravioli using store bought cheese ravioli. I used whole wheat Butioni ravioli, accompanied by homemade marinara for dipping.
