Spinach Dip

This dip is one my family has been making for years and it is always a hit at the parties we bring it too.  It is also often requested as well.  I think it is a great standby for if you are not feeling to creative or if you are in a rush.  Most of the ingredients are ones that you can keep in your house for a last minute event.  It is easy to through together and one that can be made in advance.  It also is a fairly healthy recipe and goes well with veggies so you can make a batch and use it for your lunches and snacks through out the week.
For serving it at a party, buying a sour-dough round and carving it into a bowl always looks great and provides dippers but bowl is fine too.  The dippers that I commonly use are veggies, bread, crackers and chips but I am sure there are plenty of others you can use.
