As far as I’m concerned, everyone needs to master three things in the kitchen: perfect, fluffy scrambled eggs, grandma’s chocolate chip cookies, and a really amazing spinach dip. It pretty much covers all the necessary basics, no matter your skill set. When it comes down to it, I don’t think that there’s anyone in the world who doesn’t love a solid dip pre-dinner. Fig and goat cheese crostinis are all well and good, but unfortunately not everyone is a fan (I know, I judge as well). Spinach dip makes for the perfect solution when you’re looking to whip up an appetizer that will please an entire crowd. My friend recently introduced me to her go-to version, and it’s omg amazing. Like lick-the-bowl-clean type good. The secret: crispy bacon! (I feel like this is the secret to a lot of dishes. Side note.)
