Every food blog has to have a Spinach and Artichoke Dip recipe. It is, after all, the most ubiquitous party appetizer. Everyone inevitably has eaten it at a party or brought it to a party themselves. I never bring Spinach and Artichoke dip to parties because I like to try to bring something very unique or special. However; that does not mean that I don't totally dig this stuff. What isn't to love about cheesy melty goodness? Since I wouldn't normally decide to bring it somewhere I thought it was the perfect appetizer to make at home for my two person Superbowl Party. Forrest's Aunt Lucy once served this version, and I loved that it wasn't full fat. Very tasty and oh so easy - just throw all the ingredients in the bowl and stir!
