Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Spinach and Artichoke Dip is my favorite thing to make for parties. It's easy to make, delicious, and can be served with crackers, tortilla chips, or carrots and other crudites. It's also low in fat, if you want it to be. This recipe doesn't use mayonnaise, because mayonnaise is gross.
I eyeball this when I make it, depending on how many I'm cooking for. You can check out allrecipes.com for more thourough recipes.
