Delicious Artichoke and Spinach Dip

Ever since the first time I made this, it has been requested at any gathering we have. People tell me every time I see them how they dream about my spinach dip, and can't wait for us to throw another party! I got this off foodnetwork's website, courtesy Susan Rodnite 2002.
