Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip


Turkey day is tomorrow!!!  The fam and I are heading over to the in-laws to celebrate our Thanksgiving.  The last time we went to their place, we ended up staying an extra day and visiting New Orleans.  I wonder what is going to happen this time around ;)  Guess we'll just have to wait and see ;)

Before we leave, I wanted to post just one more recipe......
last night, I decided to make appetizers for dinner instead of a full course meal.  I am so glad I did because I ended up making the above dip.  It was no short of delicious!!  I have made spinach artichoke dips before, but for some reason, this one has been the best one yet.  It may be because of the addition of two different cheeses (Parmesan and Mozzarella).  Which actually makes sense because afterall, it is called cheesy spinach artichoke dip. 



It was so finger licking good that we only have half of it left ;)  What a great way to get your kids to eat spinach!  Of course, my kids didn't want any, picky eater's as they are.....but your kids may ;) 

Serve it up as an appetizer and let people munch on it while the actual dinner is cooking.  Yummmmmmmmmm!  Two other bonuses, it's super quick to make AND it's low in fat!!  How awesome is that?  Husband Man and I loved it and thought we'd share it with y'all too ;)
