Hi ya’ll. Welcome to another edition of spinach deliciousness.
Have I ever told you how much I love a well made spinach dish? Well, it was kind of my self imposed rule to make a meal that consisted of lot of iron, vitamins, protein etc. because of my picky little eater, SV.
When he was little, he would question each and every food item that was served in his plate, and not even eating it.
He would just play with his food and after a while ready to walk away.
I had to come up with healthy food choices for him so that I could make sure that he was getting his daily dose of high nutrition food.
Spinach, tofu, sweet potatoes, beans used to be the main ingredients in most of his meals.
He is now 3 and a half and not that fussy about what he eats. But I have found myself in love with “good foods”, spinach being the one. Most of my recipes are an inspiration from Pinterest.
So are these baked mini bread bowls with spinach dip.
I got really excited at the thought of spinach mixed with lot of cheese. Plus I did not have to make my bread from scratch. That’s right! I used refrigerated french bread loaf by Simply Pillsbury.

Even though I made these for SV, my husband and I are the ones eating these up. Finished one mini bowl in three big bites. These mini bread bowls are so cute, and perfect party appetizers, finger food or for us, these are great vegetarian main entree.
