Spicy Parmesan Kale Dip

Spicy Parmesan Kale Dip ~ It’s officially party season and time for making all sorts of appetizers and easy things to put out on the table (or bar) while visiting and catching up with friends. With the cool-ish weather –– I lived in Chicago for almost 10 years so this little cool front in Texas should theoretically be only a slight chill although, I think my blood has thinned up a bit and I find myself craving all things warm and comforting –– hence this bowl of warm, cheesy goodness for your party. You can make this before your guests arrive (or even the night before) and while the drinks begin to flow just pop it into the oven for about 20-25 minutes and you’ve got a delicious crowd-pleasing appetizer to go with those festive cocktails.

Best served with festive cocktails, wine, or bubbles in my opinion.

Watch me make this over on Studio 512 with the always delightful Amanda Tatom and see just how quickly it all comes together.

Some warm and cheesy goodness.
