For some reason i'm in love with sauces and dips. I usually dip my meals in some type of side sauce or dip every time I go out to restaurants or just at family cookouts. My dip addiction is Spinach Dip, I had it for the first time last year and ever since i've been hooked. It's something about how creamy and zesty it tastes. In fact, the only Spinach Dip i've ever tasted was from 'Friday's' and 'Chili's'. 

This week's Tasty Tuesday, I decided to bring on Food Network's own The Neely's with their homemade recipe of 'Gina's Spinach Dip'. It's good to go to a restaurant and order the finest Spinach Dip, but that's just too costly when you think about it. Why not buy the ingredients yourself and create the dish at home so you can have it whenever you feel for it.

Eavesdropping on my mother's conversation yesterday as she mentioned cooking Spaghetti this week, my mouth watered. I wasn't going to choose something so heavy today, but I mean we can ditch our diets one day of the week...you know *CHEAT DAY* (words of a true fatty). 

I went searching online for some good Spaghetti recipes and came across something healthy that included real fresh vegetables and meat. Instead of giving a dish using beef, this Spaghetti can substitute the ground beef for ground turkey. To make things so much yummier, you can mix your ground turkey into a quick chili throw it over your noodles and you'll end up with the ultimate Spaghetti dish. 

Enough, of my babbling, I know this is one dish mixture you all would love to try (I know I can't wait to get in the kitchen with my mother and start adding these special tweaks). Without further adu, here's today's Tasty Tuesday meal and it comes from Food Network's Magazine's own 'Spaghetti With Quick Turkey Chili'.

Tasty Tuesday - Buffalo Chicken Salad

I promise not to get too heavy on the Tasty Tuesday meals for those who are sticking to their New Year's resolutions of eating right and getting back into shape after all those holiday meals. After indulging in fatty foods and pasta this weekend, I'm slowing things down myself and eating portioned dinners light and hearty (oh I mean healthy). I was browsing through Food Network online when I came across their top healthy New Year's meals. 

Today's Tasty Tuesday healthy meal to start by getting back into shape in Ellie Krieger's Buffalo Chicken Salad. A salad is the best meal to have throughout the day, only because you can indulge in your favorite foods mixed in with it such as Buffalo Chicken. I enjoy a good Buffalo Chicken Pizza, but since I can't have that, I will trick my tastebuds into making my Buffalo Chicken Salad taste as if it was a slice of pizza. Ellie Krieger also makes her own blue cheese, how much healthier can this get?!

Tasty Tuesday - Crispy Phyllo Wrapped Hot Dog Mummies

It's getting close to Halloween and I know some or most of you plan terrific big Halloween parties but kind of run out of ideas for refreshments or treats. As always searching on Food Network Online, I came across this tasteful creative Halloween treat dish that seemed just right for those scary parties. Food Network Channel's own chefs came up with Crispy Phyllo Wrapped Hot Dog Mummies to tastefully haunt our tastebuds.

This meal is perfect for afternoon snacks or can be served as little party platters when throwing a big Halloween event. When having holiday parties, I suggest you go all out creatively to match your festive event from the food, decorations even your costume, stick with a theme though, don't just throw scary everywhere! 

Okay enough of me blabbing, I'm getting hungry, let's learn how to make this dish. I bring to you today's Tasty Tuesday Halloween treat Crispy Phyllo Wrapped Hot Dog Mummies. Read for the recipe after the jump.

Tasty Tuesday: Watermelon Salad Recipe

As the fall season gets us whipped back into shape; those who are back to school students, back to work parents from a nice summer's vacation or just a full time stay at home parent. We all know the first couple of days and weeks can be pretty hectic and rough. Try not to cramp your diet by eating a lot of carbs, greasy or fast foods just because you don't have time or feel too tired enough to cook something up.  You need a meal or snack that will give you an extra power booster to continue through your day or week. 

I highly recommend eating a course dealing with watermelon's and other high in energy fruits. Watermelon which seems to be my favorite, is 100% made up of water which keeps your body hydrated and functioning. Adding a touch of small fruit with it will give your body the extra energy it needs. Food Network Magazine couldn't have came up with a much energizing relaxed watermelon type meal. 

For this Tasty Tuesday meal i'm choosing Watermelon Salad Recipe; i'm more than sure eating a bowl of this a day will restore your energy you once lost that full first day of school, work, or at home. This delish dish is so easy and fun to make you won't even have to hassle about cleaning dishes.

Tasty Tuesday - Banana Ice Cream

As my sister was helping look online for tasty summer dessert treats and she decided to share the recipe of Banana Ice Cream. Now, I'm not much of an ice cream fan anymore, but I decided to go forth with the idea only because I can't only post recipes that I like; I have to be considerate of other people's taste buds too. 

We came across an easy make on Food Network Online by Alton Brown, what's great about this recipe is that it comes with an instructional video. I will also post the written recipe for those who really understand recipes by direct instruction. Banana Ice Cream is one of my sister's favorite and although I don't eat ice cream anymore, I thought this was very pleasing to my blog audience. Here's your Tasty Tuesday meal Banana Ice Cream...Bon Appetite!
