Skinny Spinach & Tomato Dip

Happy Monday, Friends!

 

 

It's in the 50's in Boston today (which is UNHEARD of this time of year), the Pats beat the Texans yesterday and I'm in a great mood to top it all off:)

 

Today I'm going to share with you all a great recipe that I made yesterday.

 

My sis asked me to bring an appetizer over to her house to eat while we watched the game and I thought....hmmmm maybe I will make up my own recipe (since we all know how much I hate following recipes in books)

 

I racked my brain, headed to the grocery store and this is what I came up with....

 

 

Skinny Spinach & Tomato Dip!

 

Here's what you need to get started.....

 

 

1 lb Velveeta Cheese (reduced fat)

8 oz Cream Cheese (reduced fat)

A bag of frozen chopped spinach

1 large tomato

Salt/Pepper/Garlic Powder

 

 

First you take the Velveeta and cut it into 1 inch cubes. Do the same for the cream cheese and throw them into a pot on the stove on low heat (to get the melting started.

 

 

 

Next...wash and dice up your tomato and add it to the cheesy mixture along with 2 cups of the chopped spinach.....

 

 

 

Keep stirring so the cheese doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot and burn!

Add a little bit of the salt. pepper and garlic powder for taste.

 

When all of the cheese has melted, transfer to a serving dish!

 

 

And VOILA - you're done!

Serve with your favorite chips.

 

This may have been the easiest dip I've ever made AND it was a big hit with the fam.

Oh...so you're probably also noticing that I changed my blog design again huh?

Did you really think I'd start 2013 off with the same layout?

 

Get real!

 

I pinned this color combo from Pinterest a while back and couldn't wait any longer to implement it on the good ol' blog.
