Aloha from Volcano Hawaii
I started making this Cheesy Spinach Artichoke dip, and every one who has tried it LOVES it.
Here is how I make it.
Start with 1 tbsp butter, and chop up the garlic. Sauté majority of the garlic for a few minutes until cooked. (Save a little to add in later)
Add in remaining butter, cream cheese, yogurt and cheese on Medium Heat and mix frequently until the consistency is melted evenly.
Add in Spinach, Artichokes and remaining garlic.
Let bubble for a few minutes, remove from heat and add the secret ingredient, 2 drops of doterra Marjoram oil. Mix throughly. Do not use any brand of essential oil, because they are not all created equally. Quality over Quantity - doterra uses Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential oils sustainably sourced from organic farmers around the world.
