James and I find ourselves craving this food all the time. I thought I should put the recipes on the blog so that everyone else can enjoy them too.

Spicy Artichoke Dip

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup mayonnaise

1 can (14 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1 can (4oz.) chopped green chiles, drained

1 clove garlic, minced (I always put more than this!)

1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Heat oven to 350.

Mix all ingredients, spoon into 9 inch pie plate or quiche dish. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with crackers, pita bread, or baguette toasts.
