Cream Cheese Spinach & Artichoke Dip {oil-free with gluten-free option}

YESSSSS BABY YES.

This is one of those YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS type recipes. It is perfect for parties, holidays, wild Friday nights in…anytime you can make an excuse to make it, it’s perfect for.

By the way, I should add that I served this to a whole crowd of non-vegans and it was devoured within 20 minutes 😉 I am not sure what sparked my want of a spinach artichoke dip, but I am so glad that it happened because this was OUT OF THIS WORLD.
