This weekend we took Annalyn to her first Butler football game. Before the game we stopped by the book store in Atherton to get her a new Bulldog shirt before homecoming since she's outgrown all of hers. And, of course, we stopped by the bulldog statue to take a couple pictures. Michael and I always love going back to Butler and it was fun to share that joy with our daughter.
In honor of Peanut's first football game, here's another football food makeover recipe:
Ingredients:
(made over version)
-cooking spray
-1/2 pound fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried (can also use frozen)
-1 can artichoke hearts, without oil, drained
-3 cloves minced garlic (heaping spoonful of minced)
-1/2 medium onion, quartered
-1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
-1/2 t. smoked paprika
-1/2 t. cayenne pepper
-1 t. salt
-1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
-1/2 c. non-fat Greek yogurt
-4 oz. low fat cream cheese, at room temperature
(original recipe)
-1 c. mayo
-1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
-14 oz. artichoke hearts, drained
-9 oz. frozen spinach, thawed
-1 red bell pepper
-1/4 c. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
-1 t. paprika
-1/2 t. cayenne pepper
WW points comparison: (makes 12 servings 1/4 c. each or 6 servings 1/2 c. each)
-original is 6 points per 1/4 c. or 11 pts per 1/2 c. serving
-makeover version is only 1 point per 1/4 c. or 3 pts. per 1/2 c. serving!
**point values do not include chips.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish or square glass pan with cooking spray. Place all ingredients except spinach in a food processor and process until smooth.
3. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with paprika and parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 25-35 minutes.
4. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, the dip will set as it cools. Serve with crackers or chips.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish or square glass pan with cooking spray. Place all ingredients except spinach in a food processor and process until smooth.
2. Add spinach and continue to blend. (This makes a very creamy dip. If you prefer a chunkier dip, chop the spinach and artichokes instead of blending.)
3. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with paprika and parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for 25-35 minutes.
5. Another serving suggestion: Spread spinach dip on flatbread, top with sliced tomatoes and feta cheese, sprinkle with grated parmesan. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Makes a great appetizer!
