Janet, no one I am having over is a fan of mushrooms (me included)... Thanks though

I have a cook book w/ copy cat recipe's of restaurant menu items. In the book is a delicious recipe for spinich / artichoke dip. Of course I've searched all over for the cook book and can't find it. I even went out to check the RV, not there either. UGH.

But, I have made this so many times I will see if I can tell you by memory.

Almost a full box of frozen spinich. Thawed and drained.
1 package cream cheese - softened at room temp.
1 container of parmesean cheese
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp red pepper dried flakes
pepper to taste
one can of atichoke hearts. Drain and chop up

Boil gently 3/4 of the box of drained/thawed spinich with the can of artichoke hearts for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile place the cream cheese in glass bowl (medium). Add the spices and paremesean cheese.

When the vegie's have finished boiling, drain very well and add to the bowl with the other ingr's. Stir very well till mixed throughly. Cover bowl and microwave till nice and hot, just about a minute or so.

Serve w/ tortilla chips or crackers or whatever you'd like.
