Every weekend, I am plagued by the same dilemma... what am I going to bring to our small group?? Each Sunday night, our small group from church meets to fellowship and discuss "healthy marriages", but first we share a meal together. You would think I would have learned by now to think of what to make ahead of time, prepare and shop earlier in the week, but no. Every Sunday afternoon, I say, "Ah! I need to come up with something to bring to group!"
I found this recipe and thought it seemed fairly simple and tasty... and it was! Rave reviews from the group, and one friend even commented that it was better than the spinach dip he ate at a restaurant earlier that day for lunch!
1 10-oz box frozen cut or chopped spinach, thawed
1 12-oz jar/can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
pita chips, tortilla chips, or bread pieces
1 lemon cut into wedges (optional)
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Squeeze the spinach between paper towels to remove excess water. In a medium-large bowl, combine the spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, sour cream, and grated cheddar. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish (a 1.5 qt size works perfect!). Bake until lightly golden and heated through, about 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with the chips or bread and the lemon wedges, if desired.
(I forgot my lemon wedges!! Oh well, there's always next time!)
