Light Spinach and Artichoke Dip

October 27, 2015

I was sponsored to write this post on behalf of Weight Watchers.  This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser.  All opinions are mine alone. #SmarterTreats #CollectiveBias

I don’t know about you, but the cooler fall weather is getting me excited for the holidays.  I like to have healthy choices in appetizers and snacks available for my guests.  Whether I’m making a snack for watching football games or celebrating the holidays, I have a few “go to” recipes that I like to prepare.  Nowadays my Spinach and Artichoke Dip is sort of expected at holiday gatherings.  I prefer to lighten my recipe (shhhh!) without sacrificing the taste so that everyone can indulge and enjoy themselves.

I recently went to Walmart and picked up the ingredients for this amazing dip, including several that are Weight Watchers®  endorsed.  If you don’t already know, I’m actually a lifetime member of the Weight Watchers program.  When I was 38 years old and about to turn 39 I decided to get myself in shape so that I’d be ready for my 40’s feeling happy with my weight and my appearance.  I started walking a few miles each day and following the Weight Watchers plan.  It’s a healthy living plan that I continue to use on a daily basis.

I want to share my easy Spinach and Artichoke dip recipe with you so that you have a light version of a delicious appetizer when entertaining family and friends this holiday season.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can of Artichoke Hearts (drain the excess water and press each one)
  • 1 jar of Hellmann’s Light mayonnaise
  • 10 ounces grated parmesan cheese (there is also a reduced fat version available)
  • 1 package of frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 bread bowl
  • assorted raw vegetables for dipping
  • Pocket Thins Flatbread (sliced and toasted)

Instructions:

  • preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • after preparing your artichoke hearts, place them in a food processor, chopper or cut them into very small pieces with a knife
  • combine chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, and parmesan cheese
  • drain frozen spinach and press out excess water, then fold into the above mixture
  • hollow out a bread bowl – I prefer to use a bread bowl rather than a baking dish because the bread absorbs the excess oil from the dip
  • scoop the dip into the bread bowl
  • wrap in foil and bake for 30 minutes
  • after 30 minutes uncover the dip/bowl so that the top can brown for approximately 15 minutes
  • serve with toasted Pocket Thins Flatbread, raw vegetables, tortilla chips or crackers

This recipe is easy and fast to prepare.  You can quickly gather and prepare the ingredients, then do other tasks while the dip is baking.  If you want to spice it up you can add some chopped jalapeno peppers.  At only 2 points per serving, this appetizer is sure to be a hit with your guests.

    I’ve always loved Spinach Artichoke Dip, but since I’m trying to lose weight I thought I’d have to go without this holiday season. Thanks for this post! I’m going to make this recipe to bring to our Thanksgiving celebration. Can’t wait to try it out!

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️
