Recipe: Spinach Bake

We made this recipe parve on Rosh Hashanah by using soy sour cream and soy cheese. It was great parve, and I tend to think it was taste incredible with the regular varieties as well.

Ingredients:

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 2 TBS dry onion soup mix
  • 1 (8 ounce) carton light sour cream
  • 1 can water chestnuts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or Monterrey jack work best)
To Make:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • combine spinach, onion soup mix, soup cream, and water chestnuts.
  • Pour mixture into baking dish (we used a 9 x 9 pan)
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes
  • Take out of the oven and sprinkle cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.

Dirty Kitchen Secrets!

Reddit has been ablaze with one user's response to the question: "What's your secret that could literally ruin your life if it came out?"

Take a look at the net's most popular response:



I had to laugh -- because I do a similar fake! 

My signature dish is one I learned from my father -- a cheesey rice and vegetable dish, made by adding ingredients from a box of Near East rice pilaf.

However, I REGULARLY pass it off as a risotto! 

haHA!

What are your dirty kitchen secrets? I'd love to hear!!
