It’s Low Carb Appetizer Season, hurrah!! Make this Spinach and Artichoke Dip for all of your social distancing gatherings, and be a hero! I heartily suggest whipping up this dip and the Whiskey Cheese Dip for the Super Bowl, and you can make the Rosemary And Thyme Pita Chips from Eat Happy Too to go along with them. As a result, you will have a very happy fam.
Firstly, I make this delicious dip for you in the video below, and secondly, you’ll get to see me being a 7th grade boy trapped in a middle aged lady’s body.
Shoutout to my favorite salt: Redmond’s Real Salt. It’s the best, and you should try it.

Hi – I received your cookbooks for Christmas, and in looking through the first book, I got confused over the Cheesecake Tart, which I would like to make. I’ve never heard of a “pack of cream cheese.” Is that 8 oz? I was also confused at the 12 oz. bags of broccoli florets, or broken-up cauliflower. I buy whole vegetables at a time – my local stores (in No. California) don’t sell plastic bags of these vegetables. So I’m trying to guess how much I should buy. I will appreciate any clarification that you can send my way. Thanks.
8 ounce standard brick of Philly cream cheese
12 ounces of florets would be about 1-1/2 crowns chopped up. the recipes are forgiving and the amount of veg doesn’t have to be exact.
