Side Piece: Spinach Artichoke Dip
TIME: ★★★★
PRICE: ★★★★
EASE: ★★★★
CLEANUP: ★★★★
So my online grocery order glitched and I ordered 3x more spinach than I had intended to last week. In a frantic attempt to find some way to keep it from going bad on me, I made a TON of Spinach Artichoke Dip.
Thankfully the recipe I found was AWESOME and stupidly easy! It's a crock pot recipe so while it takes 1-2 hours, you're really just dumping ingredients in and letting it cook. Though you wanna stir it a couple times throughout the cooking, you're really not spending much more than 10 minutes prepping the dish, and most of that is rough chopping spinach.
Tips:
-I HIGHLY recommending adding more salt (and cheese) than the recipe calls for. It'll ultimately be to taste, and you can always add more salt to an individual serving if you wanted, but the first time I made it, it needed a little more salt.
These go great with tortilla chips or thinly sliced little toast pieces!

0:29 Date Squares
1 cup pitted dates
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
3 + 1 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 + 1/4 tsp salt

- Line a 9x6" baking dish with parchment paper ( or oil then pan with coconut oil sufficiently )
- place 3/4 of the granola mixture into the pan and lightly pack in the pan creating a nice even layer. ( No need to push really hard, but enough to form it tightly )
- Bake for 20 minutes
- Place drained, soaked dates into a blender or food processor with 1/4 cup cashew butter, 1 tbsp maple syrup, vanilla and 1/4 tsp salt. blend until smooth
- Once the base layer of the date squares is done add the date mixture on top, followed by the rest of the granola mixture. Bake for 15 more minutes and then allow to cool completely before cutting.
2:49 Chocolate "Fudge"
100g dark chocolate ( most chocolate over 72% is vegan, but look at the label to double check! )
1/2 cup cashew butter
1 tsp himalayan salt ( optional for topping )
- Line a loaf pan ( or an even small pan ) with parchment paper
- Bring a small pot with a small amount of water in it to a steaming point ( you don't want the bottom of your bowl to touch the water )
- Roughly chop your chocolate and place it into the bowl over top of the steaming water. allow to melt slowly. Add your cashew butter then take off the heat and stir in very well.
- Pour your chocolate mixture into your parchment paper lined pan and place in the freezer for 1 hour

3 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp maple syrup

( feel free to add some maple syrup or other sweetener if you desire! )
Chocolate layer:
60-70g dark chocolate
- Pre heat oven to 350F
- In a bowl combine all cookie layer ingredients
- line a loaf pan ( 9X5" ) or other small baking dish with oil or parchment paper. ( 6x8" or 6X6" would work however the cookie might need a couple more minutes to cook because it will be thicker )
- Pack your cookie dough into the pan to make a even layer ( no need to push crazy hard but enough to make it tightly formed )
- Bake for 15 - 17 minutes
- Add your dates, cashew butter and water to a blender and blend until smooth. Once cookie layer is done and cooled add the date caramel. Place in the fridge while you melt your chocolate over the stove.
- Bring a small pot with a small amount of water in it to a steaming point ( you don't want the bottom of your bowl to touch the water )

Evan really is perfect and we talked about how he grew up w his dad cooking and mom doing the dishes, Evan has a passion for cooking and he’s good at it, has always cooked for himself. I asked if he felt it was unfair that he does most of the cooking and he said no he would be doing it anyways, and that anything I do in the house helps him, bc he lived here alone before. I said well I’ll do the dishes and he said you can’t lift the big pots and pans to wash them I would rather just do it myself, and I was happy to hear that but asked if he was sure, and he said yes bc I do the litter box and the scrubbing of the shower and toilets and sinks, the laundry, and the making of the bed. So he says it’s pretty even. He haaates the litter box and bathroom cleaning, so I guess it really is a good trade off. And I fold his laundry. So it works out. It’s also nice that he wasn’t raised within regular gender norms, I’m currently fighting down my left over internalized misogynistic guilt for not being the primary cook here. Things are going well and I’m learning and we are growing together, comfortable and happy and open.
