With these two ingredients: Spinach and Artichoke.
If Ben and I go out to eat and something on the menu has these two ingredients...DONE. Decision made. I'm getting it.
Today me, Paige and Shelly went to have lunch at one of my favorite places called Zupas.
They have a DELICIOUS turkey, spinach and artichoke panini and an AMAZING wisconsin cauliflower soup that I get every time I go.(sometimes just one or the other because the place is kindof a rip off) Since I can't eat at Zupas everyday I decided I needed to make the Panini at home for a lot cheaper.
I got the idea to use my fat free spinach dip that I made for the Super Bowl as the spread for the sandwich. It works perfect. I use wheat bread and a layer of spinach dip spread on each slice, a sprinkle of basil, some slices of canned artichoke hearts, tomatoe slices, and turkey. Then I stick in on our little grill thingy to get all toasty and viola!! SO GOOD! I've have literally eaten one every single day this week. (Had to make a trip to the store twice because we ran out of bread and turkey haha)
I know this is probably a REALLY dumb thing to blog about, but hey, maybe someone out there will make one and have it change their life forever, like spinach and artichoke has for me. Haha!
i will be in utah march 10th thru 14th and i am having lunch everyday at zupas! i miss & LOVE that place soooo much! this post makes me soo hungry! haha
ReplyDeleteWhat's the recipe for your spinach dip? The sandwich sounds delicious... I may have to make my own trip to the store.
ReplyDeleteYum, that looks so good! When I get to add bread back into my life again I am going to make one of these! You do need to post your recipe for the fat free spinach dip though!
ReplyDeleteI kindof made up my recipe but it's really simple and worked good for the spread on the sandwich.
ReplyDelete16 ounces fat free sour cream
8 ounces fat free cream cheese
10 ounces frozen spinach
1 package Knorr® Vegetable recipe mix
Thaw spinach and squeeze out moisture. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Then I just keep it in the fridge and use it to make a sandwich everyday for a week! Haha!
