Casual Entertaining: Easy Spinach Dip


This post is sponsored by Kellogg’s.

I have a love/hate relationship with entertaining.  I love seeing friends.  I love opening up our home.  I love connecting, laughing, reminiscing, and catching up.  But I am a little bit hopeless at party decor, and I don’t love spending hours in the kitchen getting ready.  Really, I’m just a casual entertainer.  I want to make some quick finger food, maybe whip up a signature cocktail for the evening, and call it good!  The important thing is the company – so I like ultra easy appetizer recipes so that I can get out of the kitchen and enjoy time with them.  If this philosophy resonates with you, then I’ve got suggestions for you, and a great recipe to share with you today!

Easy Spinach Dip and Casual Entertaining Tips at www.happyhourprojects.com

This easy spinach dip is just 5 ingredients, and tastes great with Town House Pita crackers!  It’s a light dip that you can stir up and serve right away, which makes it an easy dish for drop-in guests or a last-minute get-together.

Easy Spinach Dip and Casual Entertaining Tips at www.happyhourprojects.com

Town House has you covered with 4 great types of crackers for whatever you’re serving up.  Each of the varieties has different flavors and textures to make every guest happy – and you can set out a spread using two or more kinds of crackers to keep your time in the kitchen simple while also letting your guests mix things up for themselves.  Try these pairings:

  • Town House Original Crackers: Top with hard cheeses and cured meats, cheese balls, or hearty, spreadable dips.  Try my easy Ham and Onion Cheese Ball or Muffuletta Olive Salad Dip recipes with Originals!
  • Town House Pita Crackers: Serve with light dips like today’s Spinach Dip recipe, hummus, or salsas.
  • Town House Pretzel Thins and Flatbread Crisps: Pour and serve alongside other finger foods like cheeses, meats, olives, veggies, or fruits!

The best tip I can offer you for hosting a casual gathering is just to take it easy, and enjoy yourself!  The goal of entertaining is to be comfortable and to have a great time.  For me, that means getting out of the kitchen and sitting down among friends and family.  What’s your best tip for hosting a casual gathering?

    I especially appreciated that it mixes ranch dressing right into light sour cream and then just adds drained spinach, carrots, and water chestnuts — feels super simple but still flavorful.
