Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip

I order this stuff a LOT when we go to restaurants, love it! But of course restaurants tend to use the highest fat ingredients. It is really easy to make at home and easy to make a lot lower fat by using low fat ingredients.

When I make it I fill 2 oval dishes(as you see in the pic) that I picked up at the dollar store, but I place both dishes on a baking sheet to put in the oven.

1/2 cup Low Fat Sour Cream

1/2 cup Low Calorie Mayonnaise(I'm a Miracle Whip lover, so that's what I use)

1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese(you can use fresh parmesan if you want, but I'm cheap so I just use it from my big container of Kraft grated parmesan)

1/2 cup Shredded Skim Milk Mozzarella

2 tsp Minced Garlic

1 pkg Frozen Spinach, thawed and drained(squeeze the water out)

1 can Artichoke Hearts, chopped(if you can fine the cans of prechopped hearts even better!, I seem to only be able to find these at the dollar store of all places, so stock up when they have them, only a dollar there, Safeway is about $3!)

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, pour into oven safe dishes and bake for about 20 minutes at 325F. Let it cool for a few minutes then dip away with crackers, tortilla chips or veggies.
