Spinach & Artichoke Dip
Weight watchers points – 3T/point with veggies, 1T or 2T with chips
Servings – serves 6

1 box frozen spinach
1 can quarted artichoke hearts (drained)
4 cloves garlic
¼ c light sour cream
¼ c light cream cheese
2T ranch seasoning
¼ c parmesan cheese
¼ c part skim mozzarella

1.      Preheat oven to 350°
2.      Mix all ingredient together
3.      Place in oven for 20 minutes

We loved this.  Generally spinach artichoke is full of mayo, sour cream, or cream cheese with tons of fat.  With some minor modifications I was able to eat a lot of this for few points or calories.

I would pair this with a Hefeweizen, Lake Placid from New York.  It has a slight clove vanilla taste that gives a sweet, smooth hefeweizen a little more depth and character.  I personally love a little spice in the background of a beer, especially a light beer like a hefeweizen.  The revised version of the spinach artichoke dip has a little more spice to it so it melds well with this beer.
