Chicken and Waffles Are SO Fetch!
Yes. I do realize that I missed the height of the chicken and waffles trend by a few years with this one, buuuuut this version is so tasty that I think it is worth revisiting. It’s savory, it’s easy (but interesting enough to impress dinner guests), and it’s totally Paleo and Whole30 friendly – essentially it’s comfort food at its finest. Besides, who doesn’t know that what quite often what’s old is new again. And it’s true that everything does come back into style eventually. That’s the funny thing about trends.

Fast forward to today, while…

The Perfect Party Dish… Squeaky Clean Spinach and Artichoke Dip!
It seems to be me that almost everyone has that one party trick that they can pull out to impress, or at least amuse, a crowd, if and when necessary. Some people can balance a coin on a dollar bill or solve a Rubik’s cube in two moves or walk on their hands for nearly 30 minutes continuously. Alas, I do not believe I have been blessed with any such dazzling skills.

Historically, this was always my spinach and artichoke dip.…
