Today's recipe of the week is a delicious spaghetti ball, made "meaty" by using potatoes as one of the ingredients. They are tender and tasty--a mouthwatering and nutritious addition to any pasta dish. Options for gluten-free diets are included.

My HealthBites Kitchen recipe of the week is a delicious dip--Spinaci Dip (Italian for spinach dip). It's a mouth-watering dip to use with raw veggies, as a spread on bread or toast, and a great topping for a baked potato. What's not to love? It's a delicious way to add more greens to your family's meals. ❤

One of my favorite dips has always been spinach dip. I love its creaminess with the bite of onion and dill mixed in. If it could only have less fat and calories, it would find its way onto my table…
