The night was chilly and breezy. I could feel the blood rushing through my veins, but it would be worth it. He said he loved Olive Garden Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip so we went home and made our own.
I used a sauté pan to cook the spinach with garlic, onion, and white wine until it wilted down in size then added cream cheese to melt it all together with artichokes and spices. We scooped that out into an oven-safe dish for topping later. Meanwhile I baked some breadsticks which I sprinkled on top of the dip before putting them in the oven to brown. One hour later we were at the table digging in while watching old episodes of Friends
