This is featured in Sweet Misbehavin’ a paranormal sweet erotic romance to be published in March 2014. It is also a favorite of the family and typically enjoy this appetizer on Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. It is a low cal/fat version of the Applebees recipe.

Total time: 35 minutes

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 (10) oz box frozen chopped spinach, thawed, with water squeezed from the spinach

1 (14 ) oz can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped

1 cup low fat mexican cheese blend

1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese

10 oz prepared low fat alfredo sauce

1 clove minced garlic

4 oz softened low fat cream cheese. Do not use the no fat cream cheese. No fat does not cook well.

Pepper optional

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Combine ingredients thoroughly in a bowl and spread mixture into a small baking dish (8 X 8) works great.

3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cheeses are bubbling and melted.
