Kale Artichoke Dip #Blogtober

 Healthy Kale and Artichokes take centre stage, in the BEST creamy warm baked dip. Perfect for entertaining, or while watching the game on TV

My family is all about dip. Anytime we go out to eat, we get some sort of dip, as an appetizer.  Most restaurants offer Spinach Artichoke dip, so we've had just about any variation you can make. Years ago I attended a blogger event at Summer Fresh and they sent us home with the most fabulous kale dip. It was slightly sweet, creamy and delicious. Well, I haven't been able to find the kale dip in any of our grocery stores since then, so I decided to make a Kale Artichoke Dip.

It basically is the same as a spinach artichoke dip, but using kale in place of the spinach. I made ours using cream cheese, which is a base I enjoy in warm dips. This is a very simple dip, yet it's so addictive. I served it with some toasted Naan bread, pita chips and tortilla chips. Who would be able to resist it? It's creamy, savoury and full of gooey cheese.

Kale Artichoke Dip

1 bunch kale, washed, chopped and ribs removed
3 Tbs olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz cream cheese
1/3 C sour cream
1/4 C mayonnaise
1- 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 C Mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 tsp salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add in washed kale and toss to coat with oil. Cook for 1 minutes. Once kale starts with wilt, add in minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until soft; about 3 minutes. Let cool.

In a microwave safe mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and 1 C mozzarella cheese. Cook in microwave for 45 seconds and stir until smooth. Stir in Parmesan, kale and artichoke hearts. Pour into an oven safe dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 C mozzarella. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese on top begins to slightly brown.

    I love that you used Kale in this recipe! I always have kale on hand so that will be perfect to try this recipe. Thanks!

      Me too, Kale seems to last longer in the fridge, so I prefer it to spinach.

    This looks delicious! I've done a similar artichoke dip but not with the kale. Pinned to try this later! I'm visiting today from the You're the Star link up. Have a great week Cindy!

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and ...

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and...

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa...
