If you're searching for a way to get your kids to eat even a little bit of spinach, this is a great start. In this recipe, spinach works as a sneaky add-in because there is no hint of green in the smoothie once blended.

From bland egg salad to goopy chicken salad, cold salads can get a bad rap at times. But this is an entirely different beast.

Spinach artichoke dip is one of my all-time favorite party dips. It has a ton of vegetables packed into it (healthy?), but is also incredibly addictive and delicious. There is a bunch of ways to make it and this just happens to be my favorite method at the moment.
