Kale and Artichoke Dip

Ahhh Friday.  So glad you’re here!  I can’t complain about my week but I sure am glad it’s the weekend.  My mom is coming to visit which means girl time, likely some shopping, feeling some baby kicks, and of course lots of good food. That’s what the weekend is for, right?

This Kale and Artichoke Dip is the perfect way to celebrate a few days off work.  I mean, there’s cheese upon cheese, which can only mean good things, I’m certain.  Plus, I’m a sucker for any warm and gooey dip and this definitely fits that bill.  And since it has kale, it’s practically health food.  Or at least, let’s just tell ourselves that.

Kale and Artichoke Dip-6

Not only does the kale amp up the nutritional stats, but this bad boy is made with GO Veggie! dairy-free cream cheese and lactose-free Mozzarella cheese which both have as much protein and more calcium than regular cheese, and is lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol.  The amazing thing is that even though it’s made with GO Veggie! cheese, you wouldn’t know the difference.    You could  make it with normal dairy cheese if you’d like, too.  

Kale and Artichoke Dip

So pull up a chair, grab a handful (or heck, the entire bag) of pita chips, and dig in!  And tell me – what are you up to this weekend?

    Moms are so great to have around! This dip looks amazing! The only thing that I don’t have in my kitchen is the mozzarella and that’s not a problem since I’m stopping by the grocery store on the way home from work:)

    I hope you had a lovely weekend with your mom! Yay for baby kicks 🙂 This dip sounds absolutely amazing. I’ve never heard of go veggie so that’s something I definitely need to check out. I’m having a party this weekend and definitely am adding this to the menu!

    Mmmm, I love spinach and artichoke dip so I know I’d be all over this! I can’t believe how cheesy it looks too for being lactose free. Yum!

    I hope you had a wonderful weekend with your mom and that she felt lots of kicks from the little guy! I bet she’s so excited!! 🙂
