Artichoke & Spinach Dip

This is one of my family’s favorite recipes. My kids request this for every family gathering, BBQ, and just because we like it days. We call it Mariah’s Dip, because this is Mariah’s favorite dip! She says “Mom, I do eat my veggies – I eat that artichoke and spinach dip”. Well, we would like to see a few more veggies on her favorite list, but this is a start.

I do want to tell you that I generally enjoy this dip with tortilla chips, so today I got some red, white, and blue chips to celebrate the Memorial weekend. (Nice touch, huh)

Guests at our home have also enjoyed this on top of their barbecued hamburgers, with their steaks, and on crackers or chips. Be really careful where you bring this recipe, because this is all everyone will request in the future. Just a warning, but I would suggest that you always keep canned artichokes and frozen spinach around for the just because days.
