Excellent! I was really craving hot spinach artichoke dip but didnt want all of the calories. This was very easy and tasty without the fat and greasiness. I think that I actually prefer this to the full fat version. Its hard to believe that this has, depending on the recipe, a third or less of the calories. Thanks for sharing!
