Best Ever Spinach Dip

1 package (10 oz) of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese
3/4 cup of mayonaise
1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese
1 package (1/4 oz) of Knorr vegetable recipe mix
1 can (8 oz) of water chestnuts, drained and chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients except for 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Spoon into a 2 quart casserole dish and then top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve with Tortilla Chips, Crusty breads or whatever you like!

*This is seriously so good that whenever I make it I end up eating the left overs for breakfast, lunch and dinner until it is gone! So...make sure you have lots of people to share it with!

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
