Super bowl Sunday is full of yummy cozy high calorie food. It’s an excuse to break out the brick of cheese that you pushed to the back of the fridge after the holidays ended and before the gym membership started. So on Superbowl Sunday why not use your get out of jail free card and snack in the heat of the tenses moments. One of my favorite cheese indulgence is Spinach Artichoke Dip. This recipe, from Cooking Light’s Way to cook Vegetarian, uses lower fat contents without a noticeable taste difference, thus deserving of the name Light Spinach and Artichoke Dip. I increased the spinach amount in order to help the veggie quota for the day as well. I’m not claiming it’s as healthy for you as an apple or carrots, but at least you can feel better about eating half the bowl.
