Pumpernickel Spinach Dip
The 2018 Super Bowl 🏈 is coming up this weekend. If you are a football fanatic, you’ll probably get together with your friends to eat and drink while enjoying the game. If you’re not into football at all (what’s wrong with you? lol!), what the heck, it’s a great reason to throw a party anyway!
When hosting a sporting event party, there’s no “proper” sit down dinner. There’re only finger foods, finger foods, and more finger foods placed in every room where there’s a TV 📺… okay maybe not in the bedrooms or bathrooms. There’s sure to be a lot of fried food served so maybe making something not “fried” is a good idea to add to the menu – is there really a menu for that day 🤔? There’s a party food recipe that I like making when I have a large group of friends over and it’s my Pumpernickel Spinach Dip! Everyone enjoys it!
The first time I was introduced to it was to celebrate my godchild Emily’s baptism. My friends Isabelle and Bill from Mt Pleasant, Michigan had a big reception at their place after church. There was so much food around and if it wasn’t the fact that her side of the family including myself were from Canada 🍁, this party would’ve ended up with even more food (not very convenient to bring food from Toronto to Michigan while crossing the border).
Anyhow, this Pumpernickel Spinach Dip was sitting there on the dining room table along with others and what caught my attention 👀 were all the little pieces of bread surrounding the loaf as the food vessel for the dip. I took a bite and right away, I just had to know what it was. Isabelle told me and I took a mental note to make it for my next big party…
The last time I served this delicious Pumpernickel Spinach Dip was last year for our house warming 🏡 party at the end of September. As always, it was well received and disappeared fast! It’s a quick and easy recipe to make for any occasion therefore next time you have a big party – like this coming weekend – with lots of friends, you’ll know exactly what to make.
