This dip is pretty much the same no matter where you order or try it, but for those of you who are thinking about making an alternative version, why not try making it spicy? Here’s a crowd favorite recipe for you to try.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces fresh spinach
• 1 16 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained
• 1 8 ounce container cream cheese
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
• ½ cup pepper jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Frank’s Red Hot sauce
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

1. Start off by preheating your oven to 350 F. While the oven is heating, sautee the eight ounces of fresh spinach in olive oil in a pan until wilted. Add to a large glass bowl.
2. Next, add all of the other ingredients! The artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, pepper jack cheese, hot sauce, and garlic powder will all go into the large glass bowl with the spinach.

3. Take a large baking dish and add the uncooked dip into it. Place into your oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes.

Pigs in a Blanket

Tarts

Tarts happen in a cinch when you use store-bought puff pastry. All you have to do is cut out squares, spread some soft cheese on the bottom, and place whatever seasonal vegetables you love in the middle. Fold the edges inward to keep everything in place and looking pretty, bake, and enjoy!

Pockets

All it takes is cutting the pastry into squares, stuffing them, and folding them into a triangle to make these pockets possible! You can go savory with meats and vegetables, or sweet with fruits or chocolate. Crimp the edges with a fork so everything stays together, bake, and serve!
