Warm Artichoke and Spinach Dip

Always a huge hit at a party.

This recipe is so easy and you’ll notice a recurring theme- the number “ one”. It makes it very easy to remember. Of course, if you like things a little more creamy you can add more sour cream or cream cheese. This recipe is pretty veggie heavy.

Chop one medium onion. Sauté onion in ½ stick of butter until soft. Stir in one block of cream cheese and one 16oz container of sour cream. Squeeze water out of a thawed box of frozen chopped spinach and either 2 cans or 1 frozen package of quartered or chopped artichoke hearts and stir that in. Stir in ½ cup of parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a small casserole dish and sprinkle a layer of parmesan cheese on top. Put in a 400 degree oven until browned.

Serve warm with pita chips or crackers.

To make pita chips cut up pita breads into wedges. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil and squeeze one clove of garlic through a garlic press onto the baking sheet and sprinkle the whole sheet with a bit of salt. Scatter the pita wedges on the baking sheet and swirl around so they get coated (at least partially). Put in a 400 degree oven and watch for browning. Swirl around once and let brown a little more.
