protein wisdom:  the artichoke and spinach dip

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) container Alfredo-style pasta sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place garlic in a small baking dish. Bake in preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes, until soft. Remove from heat. When cool enough to touch, squeeze softened garlic from skins. In an 8×8 inch baking dish, spread roasted garlic, spinach, artichoke hearts, Alfredo-style pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and cream cheese. Cover and bake in preheated oven 30 minutes, or until cheeses are melted and bubbly.  Trade to former 70s teen idol Leif Garrett for Matt Dillon’s Rumblefish wristband and a peek at Lisa Whelchel’s snowflake-pattern panties.

    And as Atkins-friendly as a steamin’ cup o’lard.  Probably make an interesting white pizza, too.  Hmmmm…..

  2. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Michael Moore shaves with this stuff.

  3. Attila Girl says:

    That explains a lot.

    And it’s a furniture polish!

  5. bolivar says:

    Lisa Whelchel?  Whatever happened to that hottie?  She was not hard to look at but, wonder what she is up to now?  Any ideas?

  6. Badger says:

    From the looks of things, Lisa Whelchel is spearheading the Hot Saucing Movement.

  7. leelu says:

    Oh, yeah?  Take *this*:

    1 c mayo

    1 c grated parmesian cheese

    1 lg can artichoke hearts

    Mix.  Bake at 350(f) until browned & bubbly.

    Prepare to die.

  8. bolivar, she is a born again Christian with 3 kids and she writes “how to be a better mom” type books. Seriously. Hope that doesn’t cool her hotness LOL

    I think one has to be a 70’s sitcom expert to fully appreciate this site.

    What’s with this “hot saucing” bullshit?  I’d hate to be in the chicken wings biz in 15 years:

    “…and how would you like your wings, sir?  Mild, extra mild or our fabulous Madagascar vanilla water sauce?”

    Sheesh.

  10. DAMN!!! Where was that hotsaucing advice when I REALLY needed it??!!!!!

  11. j.d. says:

    So, you’ll be changing your name to “saturated fat wisdom?”

    And if you do, will we see Michael Moore and Oliver Willis as guest bloggers?

  12. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Ah, but the saturated fat is Leif Garrett’s problem.  Me, I get a collectible wristband and a thrill.

  13. j.d. says:

    True about the fat. By the way, I just wanted to add that working Lisa Whelchel (who, if I’m not mistaken, played the role of snotty rich girl “Blair” on “The Facts of Life”) in there was sheer genius.
