New Years Day! It's the start of a new year and what a way to start it off after all the big meal Holiday's with lots of football. Plus it's time for those fun New Years Resolutions too! Yes, of course this year will be to loose a few pounds for me but just not yet. At least not until after the BCS National Championship between The Ohio State Buckeyes and LSU! If you haven't read my profile yet, I am from Columbus Ohio and I love the Buckeyes. My dad is in the Hall of Fame there and I just wouldn't have it any other way. Go Bucks!!!
So until the big game is over I will be posting fun game food. I'm starting with Artichoke Dip. This is a very easy recipe I found online and you and your sports fans will love it. Keep checking in for other great tail-gating recipes this week.
Delicious Spinach Artichoke Dip
1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, plus more as needed
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
Carrot sticks, celery sticks or baked tortilla strips, for serving
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Squeeze all excess liquid from spinach, place in a food processor with sour cream, Parmesan, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, the cream cheese, garlic, pepper and hot sauce.
Process until just blended but still slightly lumpy. Add artichokes and pulse to form a chunky mixture. Place in a 1-quart baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella. Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
