I made the Spinach Artichoke Dip this time using fresh spinach -instead of frozen.  I took about 10 oz. of fresh spinach, steamed it, then chopped it.  I did remove some large stems -not sure if that made a difference.  I have to say this is the best spinach artichoke dip I have made- and possibly had!  No more frozen stuff for us and next time I think I may use the whole 2 lb. container of spinach from Costco- why not, right?
