Being in the kitchen reminds me of my late grandmother, Jan, and during the holiday season, I aim to make sure her memory is at the forefront because she always made the holiday meals in our family so special. At Christmastime, she always made her famous spinach dip and served it with corn chips. This is my modern twist on a classic. Each cup is a melty, portable version of spinach dip that captures everything she loved about this appetizer. —Elise Jesse, Cincinnati, Ohio
