Hot and hearty artichoke spinach dip in a casserole dish with crackers

I meant to publish this hearty artichoke spinach dip post several days ago, but we got more snow than I had ever hoped for! I got caught up with binge-watching, eating, Lego building and couch napping.

Though it was great to be home, we couldn’t help but feel a little antsy when the plows never showed up. You should have seen us the first time we jumped in excitement when we heard the plows making their way… only to realize it was an airplane! Ha!

Proverb of the week: Necessity is the mother of invention. In an effort to fight off the claustrophobic, panicky feelings that were emerging, I created the best melt-the-snow-away hot and Hearty Artichoke Spinach Dip… ever!

Instead of loads of cheese, this dip is filled with a LOT of artichokes and delicious, hearty veggie goodness. It was all very simple, really.

How to make hearty artichoke spinach dip

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, green onion, garlic and mini peppers until tender, about 3-5 minutes.

I love it when I’m faced with difficult situations like, you know, being stuck in the house while mountains of snow pile up outside with no end in sight. Because that’s when ingenious creations like Hearty Artichoke Spinach Dip come to life. My husband loves when that happens. And you know what they say: happy husband = happy life! Or is it the other way around?

Anyhow, all I know is that one bite in, I was saying cabin fever, shmacin fever! Multigrain crackers, get over here, you have important work to do. 😉

Garnish your dip with chopped green onions and enjoy! Munch on, friends! 🙂
