Cold Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on October 17, 2022 in Appetizers, Dips

Hey everyone,

Superbowl weekend is coming up so why not try out this no-mess super easy healthy cold dip.  🙂  This recipe was posted in August of 2020.  🙂

Hellooooo,

We are having a heatwave and It seems that this will continue for at least 10 more days. But this is what summer is all about right? hot days, beach, BBQ, and well you get the idea.  I remember my childhood summers in NY, gosh it was hot, sticky and so much fun.  Summers in NY meant standing in front of a fire hydrant getting drenched in water, and watch re-runs.

Baking and cooking was definitely something I was not planning on doing today.  A cold dip and cheese platter with some cold cuts, olives, crackers, toasted bread was the menu of the day.  Artichokes are so difficult to find here. I usually bring back Artichokes from Greece, actually I bring back a lot of things from Greece.  So, you can imagine how shocked I was when I found canned Artichokes in the supermarket. (I grabbed that can so fast hehehehe)  It’s one of those things that when you see it buy because you might never see it again.

After work, I sat in front of the TV and watched reruns of  I Love Lucy.  🙂  The episode I watched today was “The Pioneer Woman”.   It starts off with Lucy at the sink washing dishes and singing.  Personally, I don’t know anyone who sings while washing 30 or 40 plates, bowls, cups, etc.  Anyway, she decided at one point to add up how many dishes she has washed in the 10 years that she has been married.  She came up with 290,000 dishes…I started to think if I were to add up the 30 years that I have been married and washing dishes how many dishes would that come out toooo??

Wishing everyone a nice weekend!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

        Yeah, I'm ok, and it's so nice of you to ask.. It's just getting long and I'm preparing for longer. Today I went to vote and there were so many people not wearing masks I felt I had to leave for my safety...usually the primary has low turn out and we have a mask mandate. I've ordered a ballot for the national race! How are things there?

        Hi Mollie, things are much better here in Europe. Good that you left. My friends and family in the states are aggravated with the fact that most people refuse to wear masks. What is up with that!!!?

    A very healthy dip! Sounds hooooot over there. We've had a heatwave in the grey ol' UK too, which came as a shock for us all I think! I Love Lucy, I've not seen that in ages. It wasn't as big in the UK as it was in the US and elsewhere, but I used to watch odd episodes. What sort of stuff did you watch reruns of when you were a kid? I used to like a lot of US shows like Sister Sister (bloody loved that!) and when I was very little just lots and lots of cartoons. Oh the good old days..! Stay cool if you can lovely xxxx

      Hi there, If you are able to find canned artichokes just drain and pop them into your blender. :) Thank you for popping in :)
