The NFL playoffs are here and that means Super Bowl celebrations are right around the corner.  When J and I have a Super Bowl party, I always serve this Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe.  You can never go wrong serving a spinach artichoke dip at a gathering because everyone always seems to love it.

Hot dips especially go well with watching football.  And drinking beer.  I think football, beer, and spinach artichoke dip is a trinity that should never be separated.  While we're at it, maybe add some buffalo wings in there too.

I love this dip because it's hot, cheesy, gooey, creamy, and sometimes, a little spicy.  To make it spicy, just substitute Pepper Jack cheese for the regular Monterey Jack cheese.  I also love it when I feel like I'm eating really healthy because I'm getting my recommended daily intake of vitamins in a single snack session.  Seriously, it's packed with a lot of spinach so it must be healthy, right?

Speaking of Monterey Jack, I was researching the history of the cheese the other day and read that it was originally made in the 1700s by Mexican Franciscan friars in the monasteries in Monterey, California.  An American Businessman by the name of David Jack wanted to capitalize on it's popularity, so he began selling it around the state, and the cheese became known as "Monterey Jack's" or "Jack's Monterey".

Eventually the name changed to Monterey Jack and that's how it's known today.  Personally, I thought this bit of cheese history was interesting because I always presumed it was first created in Mexico.  Well, you really can learn something new every day, can't you?

          Haha Thalia! When I make this dip, I don't like to share it either! I've even eaten it as my dinner a few times
