Spinach Artichoke Dip

Stacie made this for a surprise birthday party for R.B. Everyone loved it, so here it is:
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1 C. Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. Lemon
  • 1/2 C. Grated Parmesan
  • 1 sm box Frozen Spinach (thawed and well drained) OR
  • 10 oz. Fresh Baby Spinach (cooked just tender, chopped up a bit and well drained)
  • 1 Garlic Clove (minced or pressed)
  • 1 sm can Diced Green Chiles
  • 2 sm jars Artichoke Hearts (drained and chopped)

Combine the cream cheese, mayo, lemon juice and parmesan in a mixing bowl. When well blended add in the spinach, garlic, green chiles and artichokes. Mix well. Pour into a baking dish and garnish with 1/2 C. parmesan and chopped green onions (green part only). Bake at 350ยบ for 30 minutes. Serve hot. Great on corn chips or with chunks of bread. We love sourdough, but any good bread will work.

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
