The artichoke dip is almost as infamous as the spinach dip: A rather overly-rich mass of fats held together with packaged seasoning mixes...No, it's good, really! Everyone loves those dips, right? Well, if you know me, you know I have to simplify the ingredients, make it just a little healthier. So I made my own recipe. And it's super easy!
We just had an exciting "West County Business Expo 09" here in Pinole last night. It was a hit. I'll be curious to hear the head count. Seemed like thousands of people passed through. Certainly hundreds! And a handful of local businesses (including our New Deli) provided munchies.
With that in mind, I figured we could make some nice Bruschetta style appetizers, and keep cranking out the chicken salad w/ walnuts on crackers. But just to slow 'em down a little, I made up some of this artichoke dip, which meant less labor for me. Some exotic appetizers are always nice, but it helps to add a few easy recipes to fill out the menu. The artichoke dip was the answer!

Wow, Jen! You're so creative.
I guess! (That's what they tell me : )
Just noticed your profile/favorite music... brings back memories. My husband and I played Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane (and Keith Jarrett) at our wedding (some 33 years ago)...
Yes, I suspect that made a few heads scratch!
