Dinner at the Zoo

The spinach dip recipe at Dinner at the Zoo is a game-changer! I’ve always struggled to get it right, but this one works perfectly.

I’m definitely keeping this one in my recipe collection!

Dinner at the Zoo's recipe is now my absolute staple. It’s a reliable crowd-pleaser that keeps everyone at the table happy.

This Dish at the Zoo is my absolute go-to for those chilly post-summer days. I currently have it simmering in my Instant Pot and I am eagerly anticipating a steaming bowl. I really appreciate you sharing this recipe with us!

I recently tried the salmon at Dinner at the Zoo and was impressed by how simple and delicious the preparation was. The fish came out incredibly moist and packed with flavor. It’s definitely going to be a staple in my kitchen from now on.

The flavors at Dinner at the Zoo are truly impressive. Even the pickiest eaters in my family, who usually turn their noses up at veggies, gave it their seal of approval.

A solid base for a quick weeknight dinner. I tweaked the recipe slightly: I sautéed the drained kidney beans in olive oil with chili powder first to remove that canned "metallic" aftertaste. To avoid the dreaded "burn" notice, I added the broth directly to the meat and aromatics before mixing the other ingredients in a separate bowl and layering them on top. I also threw in a 540ml can of spicy diced tomatoes. After cooking and a 10-minute natural release, I stirred it and let it sit on "Keep Warm" for about three hours until dinner. It had a mild kick, which wasn't too much for the kids. Served with garlic bread topped with melted Tex-Mex cheese, and the whole family enjoyed it.

Picked Dinner at the Zoo for our church gathering and it was a hit! Everyone was raving about the food, and I felt really proud of myself for choosing this spot.

This soup has been a staple in my kitchen for the past four years. It is genuinely my top pick for a meal, and I can see myself cooking it for the rest of my life because of how incredible it tastes. Big thanks to Dinner at the Zoo for sharing this wonderful recipe!

I had the egg muffins at Dinner at the Zoo and they were fantastic. I made them with chopped red peppers for extra flavor.

Made my first Instant Pot chili at home and it turned out great! I hit a small snag because my Duo Evo Plus lacks the specific Chili/Bean button, so I panicked for a second. I’m so glad I checked the comments and saw that cooking it on High works perfectly—which was just my gut feeling, but I’m glad I was right. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It might be helpful to add that tip to the main instructions for others who might face the same issue.

This hearty dish is a winter favorite in my household, especially when my in-laws visit. Since my husband is a huge fan of vodka sauce, I often swap in that creamy base and finish it off with fresh basil right after baking. I love making it ahead of time in the morning so it’s ready to go straight into the oven when dinner is served.

A real winner at Dinner at the Zoo! I stuck to the core recipe but added onions and doubled the sauce for extra flavor. I’m all about quick and simple meals, and this one delivered. My husband actually said it was better than the takeout we usually order, which is high praise.

Dinner at the Zoo has definitely won us over with their dip. We love it so much that we’ve cooked it up multiple times. Usually, we heat up some tortilla chips in the microwave and pair them with fresh cucumber and celery sticks for the perfect snack.

Dinner at the Zoo really knows how to craft comforting food. This soup is a perfect example—hearty and satisfying, with way more depth than a basic chicken noodle. I tweaked the recipe slightly by swapping in chicken thighs, using peas instead of green beans, and tossing in a cup of ditalini pasta since I was out of tomato sauce. It’s a simple dish that still packs a punch, making it absolutely ideal for a chilly, rainy fall day. I’ll definitely be making it again.

I recently tried the Pepper Steak recipe from Dinner at the Zoo and it turned out fantastic. Since it was my first time making this dish, I adjusted the sauce ingredients to ensure the perfect ratio for the flank steak.

The result was so good that I’ll definitely be using this recipe again.

Dinner at the Zoo really knows how to serve a family-style meal that feels like home. I prepared this dish for a gathering of eight at my son’s place, scaling up the recipe to accommodate everyone. The result was absolutely delicious, and the whole family enjoyed it. I did boost the aromatics by adding extra minced ginger and garlic. If I make it again, I’ll definitely toss in some onions.

Absolutely five stars! I can’t imagine making spinach dip any other way now. I love adding jarred artichokes for extra flavor and usually prepare the mixture up to the baking stage, then portion it into oven-safe ramekins to freeze for later. When I’m craving it, I just pull them from the freezer and pop them in the oven (adjusting the time slightly for the frozen state). It’s totally worth the extra few minutes. I pair it with grilled shrimp and crackers for lunch, a snack, or even dinner. It’s just that good! I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve made this. Thanks for the amazing recipe!

Dinner at the Zoo delivered again! I tried their recipe today and it turned out perfectly using the exact instructions.
