RECIPE | REDUCED GUILT SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP

I had been craving Spinach and Artichoke Dip for weeks and having leftover crackers from a wine and cheese night with the girls, I decided to try my hand at a healthier alternative.  I traded sour cream for non-fat Greek yogurt, 2% low-fat milk mozzarella cheese and low fat whipped cream cheese.  The experiment turned out quite impressively and my roommate could not even tell that I had swapped some of the traditional ingredients.  This recipe is very simple, great for those on the go or don't want to purchase too many ingredients.  For a party, I would top with parmesan cheese, but seeing that I don't cook with parmesan much, I decided to double duty the mozzarella.
