Best Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Heart2Heart gets a kick out of trying to copy dishes tasted elsewhere and trying to make them at home!  I made an artichoke dip before and I remember putting mayonnaise in it.  But recently, I tried an artichoke dip where the chef said she did not use mayonnaise and instead used more of cheese.  So I researched online and looked for a recipe I could copy and try.  And I found this!!  It uses sour cream and cream cheese and not mayo!!! and it was good!!!  

I don’t do the recipes myself but I tell my cook what to do!  She is very good in reading recipes so I am lucky.  So when I found this recipe, I told her to make it – we did not have monterey jack cheese and red pepper flakes ( i don’t put this anymore )  but she was still able to make it and it was really good.  Since we did not have Moneterey Jack cheese for the top, my cook used Cougar cheese (Previous Entry:   Cougar Gold Cheese May 11, 2010 ) since it was what we had at the time, and it was perfect!!  I always substitute ingredients and change them with what we have and what we like.  So the top can be any cheese that you like! 🙂  This is dedicated also to my Assumption Velada committee, here it is finally the recipe I promised!

Then of course you can choose anything to go with the dip, crostini, crackers, potato chips
