RECIPE: Dreamy Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip

This post is dedicated to a FACEBOOK FAN ““ Tina Ball, she requested a spinach & artichoke dip recipe, here ya go Tina!   ANOTHER GREAT GAME NIGHT ADDITION!!   My addiction to spinach & artichoke dip began in my young adult years at Houston’s restaurant in Washington, DC.   Houston’s spinach & artichoke dip just melted in your mouth, well really all their food did that BUT it was something about their spinach & artichoke dip that just kept me going back.   At one point my best friends and I met at Houston’s weekly for salad and spinach & artichoke dip, we were all addicted (especially Lynelle ““ HA yes I put you out there Nelle).   This spinach & artichoke dip reminds me of Houston’s just with a mild kick to it from the hot sauce.   This is one of those recipes I need to add my disclaimer:   She’s Got Flavor is not responsible for any addictions that are derived from any recipes on this cooking blog!   OK, now that we’ve cleared the air, ENJOY this spinach & artichoke dip, make it for friends and family so they can rave over your fine culinary skills!   OH and by the way this spinach & artichoke dip would go perfectly with my Game Night Finger Lickin Buffalo Wings!
