Fridays are More Fun with Dip

After a long week, some of my patrons just said that they needed something comforting to start the weekend or they'd be forced to open too many bottles of their weapon of choice. At the very least I could provide something to coat their stomachs before the madness began.

Ingredients

* 1 cup thawed, chopped frozen spinach
* 11/2 cups artichoke hearts - I prefer the jars of marinated artichokes
* 6 ounces cream cheese
* 1/4 cup light sour cream
* 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
* 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 Sourdough bread bowl
* tortilla chips (if desired)

Directions

Boil spinach and artichokes in 1 cup of water until tender and drain. Discard liquid. Heat cream cheese in microwave for 1 minute or until hot and soft.

Pulse in rest of ingredients in food processor and serve hot.

I prefer inserting a small bowl in the center of the bread to allow for easier heating.
