Entertaining Made Easy With La Terra Fina Dips & Spreads
With La Terra Fina dips and spreads, hosting holiday gatherings is easier than ever. La Terra Fina only uses quality ingredients to make its party-ready dips and spreads that are delicious served hot or cold. Personally, I love to snack on warmed Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip & Spread with pita chips or a toasted baguette.
Of course, the La Terra Fina dips and spreads are also easy to incorporate into party appetizers, too!
In fact, I served this stuffed jalapeño pepper appetizer at an intimate party I hosted on behalf of La Terra Fina in fall 2016. My friend Rachel, of The Heated Skillet, created this simple recipe, and we easily prepped this party appetizer in my kitchen before my guests arrived.
I really enjoyed that the sweetness of the Medjool dates offset the peppers’ heat. Yet, every once in a while a spicy bite would shock my taste buds! If you like jalapeños, you’ll love this dish. You can even make it spicier by stirring the jalapeño seeds into the dip.
We also used La Terra Fina dips to make spicy sweet potato bites and spinach and Parmesan deviled eggs.
You can find La Terra Fina dips and spreads at grocery stores such as Costco, Fresh Thyme, and Meijer. To find a retailer that carries the dips near you, search for your zip code in the store locator on La Terra Fina’s website.

How To Make Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Stuffed Jalapeños With Medjool Dates
What I also love about this recipe for holiday parties is that it allows you to spend more time with your loved ones rather than cooking in the kitchen. Prep time is less than 15 minutes, and then you’ll bake the peppers for about 20 minutes.
