Spinach artichoke dip
& sharing my baby registry!
It was my birthday last week! I spent a few days in Santa Barbara at my parents house, then I returned home I celebrated with Troy and Olive. We got chai tea in the morning (my absolute favorite), went to brunch & did an afternoon walk! It was nearly 80 degrees which was such great birthday gift from Mother Earth because I love warm weather! ☀️
Let’s play a game; any guesses on my age? Don’t worry, I won’t be offended 😉

My baby registry!
I found the baby registry process extremely overwhelming for a first time parent. So I created a “simplified” version of what you actually need, without the BS extras, explaining WHY you need it & sharing links so you can just tap add to registry! Voila!

Spinach artichoke dip
This is made in the air fryer, with a secret ingredients that makes it healthier! It tastes just like the cheesecake factory dip, but better!
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/3 cup sour cream
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 can artichoke hearts
3/4 cup spinach, frozen
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
5 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Add the frozen spinach in a bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds until thawed. Place in a paper towel and squeeze to remove any liquid.
Drain artichokes then chop them slightly. These pieces don’t have to be perfect, just roughly chopped so people are not getting huge artichoke pieces in their mouth.
Add all of the ingredients into a large bowl, stir well.
Transfer it into air fryer safe ramekin. I will link the one I use below. Sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese on top.
Air fry at 350F for 15 mins, until the cheese melts on top.
Remove from the air fryer carefully and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Use your favorite crackers for dipping!
