Here’s an oldie but goodie: Baked Artichoke-Spinach Dip straight from the pages of the red-and-white-checkered Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.

Every year I do a cookbook purge. But the BHG always makes the cut. Sometimes those classic recipes from yesteryear are just what we need.

This is a great dip for holiday parties, birthday parties, family get togethers and sports gathering. My crowd always loves it!

Be sure to drain your artichoke in the colander pressing into them gently with a spoon. This makes the dip less watery.

You can totally make this the day before and bake the day of your event. Just be sure to go with the longer baking time of 25 minutes.

Serve this dip with pita chips, crackers, crusty bread or tortilla chips.
