LOW-FAT SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIPThis recipe comes out of Peloton home rider and successful author Lisa Lillien's amazing cookbook "Hungry Girl - Clean and Hungry Obsessed". I'll be bringing this dip along with tortilla chips for the kids and cut up celery sticks for me.
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup light/reduced fat cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
One 14-ounce can of artichoke hearts packed in water, drained and chopped

3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
10 cups chopped spinach
1 teaspoon of chopped garlic
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. Stir in chopped artichoke hearts, mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons of parmesan.
Bring an extra large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add onion and shallots. Cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add spinach and garlic to the skillet. Cook and stir until spinach has wilted and garlic is fragrant for about 2 minutes. Pat dry, if necessary.
Add skillet contents to the large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Transfer mixture to the baking pan. Bake until hot and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes!
