Hot and Creamy Artichoke Dip
Few appetizers can top this killer combination of garlic, two cheeses and artichoke hearts. It’s creamy, warm and can be prepped a night in advance. What’s not to love? If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a metal spoon to combine the cheeses and finely chop the artichoke hearts and jalapenos (then cross off “gym” from today’s “To Do” list). Serve this Hot and Creamy Artichoke Dip piping hot with slices of baguette, fresh veggies, or my mom’s favorite, Fritos!
