New Year’s Eve is tomorrow and it’s looking very different for everyone! What once was a joyous occasion is now a small gathering and that’s okay. Think of it as sort of a leap year (2020 did not exist!).

Jokes aside, 2020 was hard but things are starting to look promising for 2021 so let’s keep that hope alive! Both my parents are Filipino and they have a lot of traditions they do for New Year’s eve. One of them is not having any poultry.

It is a belief that poultry has beaks and peck the ground for food and if you eat poultry on NYE/NY day you’ll be struggling for food for the whole year. I wouldn’t say I’m superstitious but it’s fun to have little traditions so our menu is usually seafood, beef and/or pork!

One of the things I miss the most is going out to grab drinks/appys with my friends. Although restaurants and bars are open in my city, my husband and I are extra safe and usually just cook or get take out.

My go-to order during happy hour is a red sangria with a hot spinach artichoke dip. I thought I would share how I make it with you!

HERE’s how to make Crab Spinach Artichoke Dip:

Where can I find these ingredients?

Everything I got was from one trip at my local grocery store. I know that some places don’t have everything but the ingredients are pretty generic. You can definitely make this vegetarian but omitting the crab or try making it vegan and using vegan products for sour cream, cream cheese, and cheese. You could also do shrimp pieces instead of crab!

Seasoning is always to taste of course! I think to this day, I’ve never really fully followed the recipe, I’ve always modified it in one way or another!

What are the ingredients?

  • 1 Full Bag of Spinach
  • 1 Can of Artichoke Hearts
  • A Can of Crab Meat (Or fresh of course if you can find it)
  • 1/4 Cup Parmesan
  • 1/2 Cup Mozzarella + some to sprinkle on top
  • 1 Block Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Mayo
  • 1/2 Cup Sour cream
  • 2 Cloves Minced Garlic
  • Crushed Red Chili Flakes To Taste ( I like mine with a kick!)
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt/Pepper/Garlic Powder
  • Parsley To Garnish (Optional)

How can I assemble this?

  1. Cooked your spinach thoroughly and chop into bite-size pieces. Open up your canned Artichoke Hearts, drain and chop into bite-size pieces. Mince up your two cloves of garlic and set all this aside.
  2. Grab a bite bowl and put in your cream cheese and soften it up. Next, add your sour cream and mayo. Mix that all up.
  3. Drain your canned crab meat and add this to the bowl. After, add all your seasonings and mix them all together.
  4. Shred some parmesan and mozzarella and add this. Fold in the artichoke, spinach and garlic.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375 F
  6. While the oven is heating up, put the mixture in your oven-safe container of choice!
  7. Top with Mozzarella Cheese and bake in the oven for 10-15 mins or until cheese on top is golden brown.
  8. Serve with your favourite salty pita chips, baguette, crostini, or tortilla chips!

I put mine in little ramekins because I love it hot and wanted to make it portion-sized but you can put it in one big dish and serve it to your family/friends!

Enjoy!

Xo,

Lynn

  2. Wow this looks amazing Lynn! I absolutely love crab dip this looks like a real winner. I line what you shared about not eating chicken on new years. I line in Hawaii and they’re are tons of Filipinos here (also tons of chickens for that matter…. ?) But I had no idea about that. It’s cool to learn other cultures traditions. Thanks for sharing and happy new years!

    • I’m so jealous that you live in Hawaii Clarissa! That’s amazing! Thanks for reading 🙂

  3. Sounds delicious and looks like a wonderful recipe ? will certainly have to try

    • Thanks so much for reading! It was the perfect appy for NYE 🙂

    • Haha! Okay, I thought I was the only one who thought about what I’m going to eat while running! Love this 🙂

  7. This recipe looks amazing! I love that you shared about not eating poultry as I love to hear about other cultures.

  9. This looks so good, I’m literally drooling ? I will definitely be saving this recipe for later!

  11. This sounds incredible! My husband is currently out doing our grocery run for the next couple of weeks. I’m going to text him right now to pick up all the supplies so that I can make this for our New Year’s Eve celebrations tonight (not that there are many ‘celebrations’ going on, but it sounds like a perfect snack while relaxing at home lol)

    • Aw! I hope you had NYE full of yummy food! Thank you som much for reading Britt! 🙂

  12. I had never heard about that connection between poultry and new year’s before, very interesting. This looks like my kind of recipe. I really enjoy anything with crab in it, so I will have to give this one a try.

  13. Happy New Year!! Yum!! The crab spinach artichoke dip looks amazing. You can never go wrong with any kind of dip and love that it is easy to make. I am always a fan when you don’t need to go to specialty stores to look for a specific ingredient. But for sure, the fresher the crab meat, the better!! What about imitation crabs? Love how you can just set and forget until it’s ready out of the oven! Hope 2021 will be great for you!
