Spinach Artichoke Dip

Recently I went to a friends par-tay and had this amazing, super fabulous spinach artichoke dip.  Hard to believe it was gluten-free, because most dips contain gluten thickeners or flour, but this one was so superb that I insisted my girl JKap send me the recipe!  She used many cheeses and no mayo, since she hates mayo.  And I must say it tasted so much better!  Bravo JKap!  She used frozen spinach but I bet that fresh spinach would be better which is what I bought for when I make it.  I'm psyched!  She also used canned artichokes, so it won't take a five star chef to be able to make this great recipe.  

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

13.75 oz artichoke hearts packed in water, drained
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup fat-free Greek Fage yogurt
1/2 cup of Laughing Cow Cheese (this is where the mayo used to be)
2/3 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
4oz shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a small food processor, coarsely chop the artichoke hearts with the garlic and shallots.

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl.  Place in an oven-proof dish and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until hot and cheese is melted.  Serve right away.

Can be made one day ahead and stored in the refrigerator before baking.  Makes about 3 3/4 cups.

Baking Tidbit-Don't have a food processor?  Do what JKap did and just mash it together with all your might with a baking utensil.  That works too!

Enjoy! xoxo

    Hi James, I'd love to share, but I couldn't seem to log in. It's asking for my password to my email account, and I just don't feel comfortable sharing that. Can you clarify and help?

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain.

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
