Happy New Year’s Eve !!!!  Oh my gosh, I say it every year, but I cannot believe another year has gone by, what the heck y’all wasn’t it just the 90’s, no, seriously? This year has genuinely flown by, which I hope means that I’m having a good time or busy or both haha.  If you don’t have any crazy banana pants plans for tonight and are instead going to be super awesome and stay in with your dude like myself no shame here folks   may I suggest making something supremely delicious to watch the ball–well the peach in my case– drop from the comfort of your living room? 

Behold the cheesy onion awesome dip, this is another one from the magic recipe box my mom has had for a million many years.  Y’all, the title of this thing on the card was just ‘cheese dip’ rolling my eyes  which does not even come close to doing this dip justice..soo I had to throw in the word awesome to impress upon you just how damn darn delicious this is.  Bonus, this stuff is thrown together super quick, no need to slave away in the kitchen for hours while missing Bravo TV marathons when you could be ringing in the New Year with your honey.  Not being bossy well maybe a little but make this stuff…Happy New Year!!  

Alrighty, get your cream cheese ready…

There is this restaurant in Atlanta (ok, technically Buckhead, but close enough) called Houston’s that has hands down, the best, most amazing spinach and artichoke dip of any restaurant ever. Lofty words I know, but it is perfect, it has just the right mixture of spinach, cheese, garlic and artichoke with no particular flavor overpowering another, and bonus, they bring the largest serving size of this appetizer of any restaurant I have ever seen.  But, I gotta be honest, they charge a pretty penny for all of their food, including this awesome dip, and this restaurant is not by any means down the road from my house, so what’s a girl to do on her cheat day?  Make her own of course…for years I have been on the lookout for a make-at-home, but Houston’s quality spinach and artichoke dip, and hallelujah y’all,  I have finally found it! 

I kept seeing this slow cooker spinach and artichoke dip pop up on Pinterest so I figured what the hey I might as well try it, and sweet heavens it is awesome.  I doubled the recipe because I knew darn well it wasn’t going to make enough, and at my sister’s suggestion I added chicken broth, which just so happens to be the secret ingredient in Houston’s recipe.  OMG y’all I made this on Thanksgiving to keep around for the family to munch on, and everyone was all ‘wow this is amazing’ and ‘as good or better than a restaurant’ etc.  I slathered  put this dip on fresh bread which was eye rolling-ingly good but you could use your bare hands veggies or tortilla chips, trust me, this would make a rusted bumper taste good.  Did I also mention easy? You can basically throw everything in your slow cooker and done-zo, awesome spinach and artichoke dip. 

Put your cheeses & garlic in your slow cooker, (cutting up your cream cheese helps it come along faster)…

Using a food processor or blender, mince up your artichokes…

Put your artichokes in your slow cooker…

Do the same with your spinach that you have minced up…

And enjoy–you will :-)…

oh my, look at the cheesy awesomeness…
