This is a party food classic - Spinach Dip.  It's been around since the 70s because people like it!  I like to serve mine up with toasted baguette slices, and some buttery crackers and tortilla chips.

Last time I made it I got snooty and decided fresh spinach would make it better so I chopped some up, sauteed it with onion, drained it and let it cool.  There was no difference in taste that I could tell and it was a lot more work - never doing that again!

This is a perfect appetizer to serve with my GRINCH MARTINI!

Yesterday I posted my Baked Cranberry Brie and mentioned that I use Sugared Cranberries to place around the baked brie en croute as a garnish.  Here's a recipe for making those sugared cranberries!

I also use these as garnishes for my Christmas Cosmopolitan Martini

I love this recipe and so do all my Holiday guests.  It's one of the first to disappear off my Christmas party table every year and I have now learned to prep two of them so I don't run out too soon.

I serve it on a nice Christmas plate and then I put a handful of Sugared Cranberries around the base.  I'll be posting the recipe for those tomorrow so pick up some sugar and fresh cranberries today if you're shopping for your party buffet.

These go great with my Christmas Cosmo, my Christmas Cranapple Martini, Mulled Cider Martini or my Holly Berry Martini.

CHRISTMAS PARTY FOOD - Crab Stacks

If you're a frequent visitor here to the Diva of Tiny Foods you know I love crab appetizers.  If you stick crab on some dough you had me at crab!  Add puff pastry and I'll follow you anywhere.

I can't remember where I got this recipe but it's a favorite of mine and I always keep a box of puff pastry in the freezer for Happy Hour appetizers so these show up often on my appetizer plates around cocktail time.

These go great with my Christmas Cosmo or my Holly Berry Martini.

TIPSY BAKED BLACK BEANS - Not so Rootin' Tootin' Fare from PopArtDiva

PopArtDiva'sTIPSY BAKED BLACK BEANS

I have always loved baked beans.  My Dad loved baked beans as well and he made great baked beans which he and I would pretty much finish off because the rest of the family didn't like beans so much.  Fine by me and Dad as we could finish off the entire pot in a day or two!
Dad always made a huge pot of baked beans whenever we grilled burgers or hot dogs.  I would pile them on top of a potato chip and eat more beans than wieners.  I guess baked beans were my version of bean dip.
Then I reached a "certain age" and beans began to cause me problems.  I won't go into the details, just suffice to say eating beans before any type of social interaction was not something I could do anymore.  This was in the days before Beano and I was desolate.  What good is a hot dog or hamburger without baked beans??
I was bean free for years until a neighbor introduced me to black beans, swearing up and down I would not be contributing to global warming by eating black beans.  I tried a big bowl of her black beans and rice and, sure enough, I did not sound like a whoopee cushion a few hours later!  I was back in bean heaven. I was making potato salad for a cook out one day several years back and was fondly remembering my Dad's baked beans when it dawned on me I could use black beans for baked beans!!!  I grabbed up my cans of black beans, a bottle of molasses and some Jack Daniels and ended up with this recipe. No more rootin' tootin' for PopArtDiva aka The Diva of Tiny Foods!  Tweet
