Delicious recipe! Was a hit with all my dinner guests!

This is very close to my spinach dip recipe. Make it every time we get together with friends as they all love it! My recipe calls for 1/4 cup milk and no parmesan I always use low fat cream cheese without a problem. It is always delicious!!

Made this for the Superbowl also, was a little afraid that the boys might not eat it since they're so anti-veggie but only a little was left for us the following week.

This was sooo good! Made this for Super Bowl and it was a hit! I did make some changes...I used 4 ounces of 1/3 free cheese, and 4 ounces of fat free cream cheese. Instead of two monterey jack, I used one fat free cheddar, about 1/4 cup of monterey/colby, and about 1/4 cup parmesan. The cheese was really bubbly and melted wonderfully! I will certainly make this again. Thank you for posting.

September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. --- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time: 8754768"
