For an appetizer for our Sunday meal, I made a killer Spinach Artichoke Dip. Now, there are about a million Spinach dips out there, but this one is my favorite out of all of the ones I've tried. I'm guessing this is the case because mine doesn't have mayonnaise in it, only cream cheese. I'm of the opinion that most things, if not everything is better with cream cheese! This is super easy to make, and can be reheated throughout the evening (if it lasts that long)!
Spinach Artichoke Dip
1 cup chopped artichoke hearts, not marinated
½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed
8 oz. cream cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
¼ tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
Pepper
Sliced, toasted bread and celery sticks
Boil spinach and artichoke hearts in water in a small saucepan over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander when done. Heat the cream cheese in a small bowl in the microwave set on high for one minute. Add the spinach and artichoke hearts to the cream cheese and stir well. Add the remaining ingredients to the cream cheese and combine. Serve hot with bread.
Results: This is always a winner. We eat it with sliced baguettes and usually we eat so much that we aren't hungry for the meal! So creamy and cheesy (I usually double the Parmesan that it calls for!)
