spinach artichoke dip

i'm a simple girl.  jordan won my heart over with spinach artichoke dip, chicken wings and a few beers.  that was our typical date night 10 years ago.  it's pretty much what a good date night looks like these days too :)  jordan found a recipe for spinach artichoke dip in a magazine years ago.  together he and i have perfected the recipe with a few changes.  it's really easy and so good.  here's how we make it:

1/2 cup chopped onion, brick of cream cheese, 2-3 cloves garlic, frozen spinach, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, jar of artichokes. 1/4 cup of mayo (or a little more if you like it....i do)- go ahead, tap into your inner paula deen :)

most important part- squeeze the life out of the spinach- that is the entire box of thawed spinach! 
use a dish towel to get out all of the water.  do the same to the artichokes.

dump everything into your mixer.  if you don't have one, stir.

top with parmesan or mozzarella cheese, bake 350 for 30 minutes.  serve with pita chips, tortilla chips or whatever you like.



ok, this has nothing to do with dip- but she's just cute :)
also, i wanted to thank my brother-in-law for helping me make some changes to my blog. and when i say "helped" i mean he did the changes.  seriously, he was doing math to change picture sizes- who knew?  chris, you're  the best.  i owe you some spinach dip :)
