Introducing, Crumb Connections! Each month, I’ll be featuring a fellow blogger, creator, and member of the foodie community. This month’s featured creator is my good friend, Hope Anderson at Hope Appetit!
One of the things I absolutely adore about Hope is her insane creativity in the kitchen! She always posting incredible seasonal recipes (seriously, her Halloween stuff is amazing), gorgeous snack boards and treat boxes, and mouthwatering family recipes. She’s so talented and I just think everyone should know about her!
“My name is Hope, and I’m a Fort Worth native. I share my life with my spouse, Allan, and our two sons, Grayson and Braxton. I have had a passion for food since I was a young girl when my dad first taught me how to cook on a grill, and I’ve been unstoppable ever since. I’ve taken culinary courses, competed in competitions, and shown a creative and fun side to food through my blog and social platforms. My goal is to show anyone and everyone that they have a chef within themselves, and to just be creative in the kitchen! Everything is worth trying at least once!”
–Hope Anderson, Hope Appetit Food Blog
I asked Hope if she’d be willing to submit a recipe for this month’s Crumb Connections feature; she agreed and sent in this incredible recipe for Easy Cast-Iron Spinach Artichoke Dip! Check it out!
“I chose this recipe because it is the easiest most versatile recipe, so why would you not want this?! It can be used as a dip for game day, a filling for a stuffed chicken recipe, or just a late night snack to eat with pita bread. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!” – Hope Anderson, Hope Appetit Food Blog
