12 Days of Recipes: DAY 1

I wanted to put a twist on a '12 days of Christmas'...so what could be more fun than sharing some favorite recipes. Here it goes...
BAKED SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded cheese - I use the blend you can buy in the store with parmesan, asiago & mozzarella
splash of lemon juice
1 can (14 oz) marinated artichoke hearts (drained & coarsly chopped)
2 - 3 garlic cloves (minced)
handful of spinach leaves (chopped)

Mix ingredients together and bake until bubbly at 350 degrees (approx 20 minutes). Serve with your favorite crackers or baked pita chips.

This is a very popular party dip...it's always the first dish gone! I love it because I can always keep the ingredients on-hand and it doesn't use frozen spinach (the draining drives me crazy). And it's my husband's absolute favorite...sometimes we make it for just the two of us to snack on with a glass of wine :)

ummm - made this last night - very good. We really liked using the fresh spinach instead of frozen - you could tell! Thanks for the recipes!
