Spinach Artichoke Dip 
This is the copycat recipe from Hillstone/Houstons.  Sometimes you just need to make a dip that doesn’t start with cream cheese!  This is delicious and creamy dip.  You could add a couple jalapenos if you want to spice it up.  I made homemade tortilla chips to serve with this by lightly brushing corn tortillas with avocado oil, cutting them in wedges (6 per tortilla) and cooking them on a baking sheet at 375 degrees until crispy.  You could also serve with bread, crackers or crudité.  Enjoy! 

INGREDIENTS
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp minced onions
• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups half and half
• ¼ cup chicken broth
• 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, fresh-grated
• 2 tsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 20 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
• 12 oz artichoke hearts, drained, coarsely chopped
• ½ cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, saute garlic and onion in butter until golden
2. This should take around 3-5 minutes
3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute
4. Slowly whisk in the half and half and broth and continue cooking until boiling
5. Once boiling, stir in the parmesan cheese, lemon juice, hot sauce, and salt 
6. Stir until the cheese has melted, then remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes
7. Stir sour cream into the pan, then fold in dry spinach and artichoke hearts
8. Fold the mixture into a microwave-safe serving dish (or oven safe if using an oven), or into several serving-size dishes
9. Sprinkle the white cheddar cheese evenly on the top
10. At this point, the dip can be refrigerated until ready to serve, if desired
11. Microwave dip on 50% power until the cheese has melted or cooked in the oven until bubbly.  
12. Serve warm and enjoy!
