Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Hi everyone, hope your final days of summer are going well.  We are officially on our last week of summer break, and have been busy getting ready for the school year.  It seems like everyone in my house is ready for school but me, I am having a hard time letting go.  

I wanted to share with all of you a recipe that I got off a magazine a few years ago, and have made ever since.    This is my go to appetizer dish that I always have when we have friends or family over, and it's always a big hit.

 Even my 8 year old loves it, that's saying a lot considering it has a ton of spinach, and you know how kids are with their leafy green veggies.

Here is what you need:  

Here is what it looks like after you have mixed all of the ingredients:  

After you sprinkle the mozzarella:

Right after it comes out of the oven:

And of course, right before digging in:

Ingredients:

1 cream cheese (plain, 8oz)

1 can artichoke hearts, chopped

1 frozen spinach leaves (10oz)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook spinach in water for about 10 minutes, drain.  Mix all ingredients in mixer except for mozzarella.  Spoon mixture into a greased baking dish.  Sprinkle mozzarella over mixture.  Cook for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chip or cracker.

Hope everyone has a great week.
