Super Bowl Snacks: Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Game Day is upon us! I'd be lying if I said I'm a serious, diehard football fan, but I am a dead serious fan of snacks, so I do have a few good reasons to show up to a Super Bowl party this Sunday.

When it comes to themed foods, Game Day might be my favorite genre ever. From spicy chicken wings to onion dips, I seriously cannot get enough. I could eat full dinners of just Game Day appetizers, which I suppose we'll all be doing the day of the big game. This Sunday I'm headed to a friend's house to watch the game, and I was given instructions to bring along an appetizer. I wanted something that I could make ahead and just pop in the oven when I got to my friend's house (no hauling ingredients to her house!), and this dip fit the bill perfectly.

I know there are a lot of renditions to this recipe, but I just adore this one. I love my spinach and artichoke dip warm. Aren't warm dips the best? There's something about cheese being gooey and hot, and having those dramatic cheese-pulls happen. I spiced this up a bit with some hot sauce and red pepper flakes. I think the touch of added heat is awesome.

Whichever team you're rooting for, or even if you're in it for the commercials, I hope you make some gooey, warm spinach Dip and enjoy a relaxing Sunday.
