Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Happy Sunday!  I have been meaning to post since Thursday, but somehow the time just slips by without me even noticing.  I swear I blinked and 4 days came and went.  And now, here it is, Sunday.  My hubby woke up with the flu early this morning, so there will not be much cooking or baking here for a couple of days.  Just lots of chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers.  I did manage to make this delicious dip yesterday.  This is my absolute favorite dip in the world.  It is so addicting, I could eat the whole bowl.  It’s filled with artichoke hearts, spinach, onions and lots of yummy cheese.   Seriously, what could be better?  I here a bell ringing, so I better go take care of the poor little bunny.  Watch that video that I linked, you will laugh off your chair!  Have a great week!

Spinach and Artichoke Dip
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons butter
1 10 ounce box of frozen chopped spinach
1 8 ounce jar artichoke hearts, chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1. In a small skillet, cook onions in butter until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
2. Cook spinach in the microwave, covered for about 5 minutes.  Place in a cloth and squeeze out excess liquid.  Place in a medium bowl.  Add onions, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper.  Mix until well combined.
3. Place in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.  Serve with crackers.

    Yum, I love this stuff. Your recipe looks different to the one I use, and I think I must try it since it is a little healthier. Not so much nasty mayo and a little more veggies! Gosh it’s pretty…
