If I had to choose my favorite type of meal, you’d be surprised to hear that dessert is not my top pic. It’s appetizers. I love snacking on food, bite-sized treats that let you fill up, little by little, on an assortment of foods and flavors. I especially love dips, cheesy-gooey dips.

We’ve all seen variations of spinach artichoke spinach dips. I even have an easy creamy artichoke dip. All are delicious with salty tortilla chips. YUM! Talking about it makes me want to whip up a batch right now!!

I was thrilled when I found this recipe for Garlic Spinach Dip with Hearts of Palm. My family loves pickled stuff, so we always have artichoke hearts, olives and hearts of palm in the fridge. I couldn’t wait to try this dip out.

It’s easy to make, and you can assemble it a day in advance. Everyone loved it. And the hearts of palm taste fantastic with the cheese and spinach!

Now which one should I choose to be my favorite???
