    Hello there! How has winter been treating you? Are you bombarded with snow? Or do you live somewhere warm and sunny? 

    We have been having snow around here like crazy. Just last week we had about 2 feet of snow (in two days) with super high winds. So, suffice to say, I’ve been spending a little more time inside making all things comforting, like this fresh spinach artichoke dip.

    When hubby tasted, his reaction was “Yeah, so, that’s going in rotation.” Yay!

    Why We Love Fresh Spinach Artichoke Dip

    • It’s super easy to prepare.
    • It’s baked and served in a skillet for easy cleanup and a fun presentation.
    • You can use fresh or frozen spinach.
    • It’s a wonderful dip for entertaining.
    • It tastes amazing!

    How To Make It

    Full details on how to make this hot spinach artichoke dip are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:

    • Blend spinach in a food processor.
    • Add remainder of ingredients, blending in.
    • Place biscuits (from store-bought dough) around a greased skillet.
    • Pour dip in the middle.
    • Top dip with extra cheese.
    • Bake, then serve and enjoy!

    Tip: For this recipe, I used fresh spinach, about 4 to 5 cups and the artichokes that I used were packed in water (not the ones packed in oil).

    Tips and Variations

    • A little squeeze of lemon is nice with this dip drizzled over top.
    • If you don’t have artichokes packed in water and only those packed in oil, no worries! Just give them a little rinse and drain under water before using.
    • After the buns were baked and the dip heated through, I wanted to brown that cheddar cheese a bit. I got a  little creative and folded over a piece of aluminum foil and cut a half moon so it would be roughly the same circumference as the dip.  It’s not exactly perfect, but gets the job done. I wanted to brown the cheese a little, but not burn the buns.
    • If you rather not use biscuits, simply place the dip in an oven-safe dish and warm through. Serve with chips.
