| Spinach & Artichoke Dip With..... ? After watching Oprah's Favorite Things show I just had to buy chicken pot pies from Harry & David. I had no choice. I also bought spinach & artichoke dip as an impulse buy. I figured I can have it with chips. Well, it so happens that I just made last minute plans to see some family Christmas eve. They said to bring some kind of chips or just anything to munch on. It's very casual. I think the spinach/artichoke dip will be great and it looks fantastic in it's fancy little jar. However, I don't want to carry a bag of chips alongside. So, what do I bring? Should I get a platter of vegetables? Should I get chips or some kind of crackers or pita bread? A bread bowl and put the jar in the center? Help. But please keep it simple!

| You could cut up a loaf of italian bred into mini bites and then heat the dip and use toothpicks to dip. I still would go for the chips myself.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I'm going with Cathy suggestion above. When I've had this type of dip at an Italian restaurant it was served with small crusty breads slices.....delish!

| Thanks everyone. I think I prefer some kind of bread over veggies for taste, although it would be pretty easy to buy a veggie platter. I have to cook the italian bread? Also the jar says it's good hot or cold. It would be better hot, correct?

| I like the bread bowl idea, but a thicker higher quality bread usually works best (and with such uber S&A dip you don't want to ruin it with sub-par bread ). Your best bet is probably to buy a loaf from a bakery of some sort and cube it. White based breads (such as panini or italian) are probably the best choice grain wise. |

| I got the chicken pies and the Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is to die for. I took it to a Christmas dog meet and it was a big hit. Had to go order more but it is rather expensive. Have you tried the chicken pie? Ummmm good. Quote:

| It is best hot, so hot it will burn the roof of your mouth. Chips....multi colored thin Chips! Regular, green and black. Thinner the better! |

| I agree -- crusty bread slices, little wedges are perfect with spinach artichoke dip. I love that dip at one of our local restaurants and made one & put it out with slices from a nice baguette of bread last Christmas eve, only to find my recipe was off and I hated the dip. I will probably just order some next time myself. Still don't know what I did wrong.

| If the dip is so hot it is still bubbling, and loaded with Garlic, it does not matter what you scoop it up with! Now I am hungry and Marge is out! May have to take her out to dinner witha a nice appetizer when she gets home in a while. Nothing but the best for her, Fridays or Chilli's! |
