Cheesy Baked Artichoke Dip
My daughter tasted her first artichoke dip at a friend's house and thought it was heavenly! Artichoke dip, I thought, isn't that just fat masquerading as a vegetable dish? I went looking for a healthy recipe and found one with tofu. It failed to please.
I have to admit, the traditional preparation is quite a bit tastier. It makes a fine supper (once in a while) with some toasted baguette slices or corn chips and a citrus salad.
