Perfect snack for those times where you just want a little extra. This spinach artichoke dip is really simple to make and is so delicious. It goes well with crackers or veggies. The recipe does make a lot, so if it’s just for you I would cut in half. On the other hand with the amount the recipe makes, it’s great for parties. One thing I look forward to at parties are the dips! It’s just that most traditional dips, while so good, are not the best for you. Luckily this one is so you can enjoy it at a party or at home, and you can rest assured knowing you didn’t get off track.
