I've heard from several people that they visit Coffee for Roses only on Wednesdays, when there's a recipe or other foodie post here. Since one of my mottos is "Cook Every Day" I'm only too happy to shoot photos of what's going on in my kitchen, and share that with...

If you like spinach and artichoke dip, this is a recipe for you. I used frozen kale but you could also use fresh kale or frozen/fresh spinach. This is a great side dish if you are serving meat, or a main dish for vegetarians. This recipe serves 4 as a main course or...
