Spicy Spinach and Artichoke Dip

This is not a dip that you want to eat on a daily or even weekly basis, but it is delicious and sure to please everyone.  Plus, it is “clean-eating” if you serve it with the right crackers or chips (we use Triscuits and/or non-GMO corn chips, preferably baked not fried).  Plus, it makes a lot and great to serve with a group of friends or family.
