Thanks-Giving pt. II

Darling Bloggers, as promised I'm posting the most delicious, most wonderful, super simple spinach artichoke dip from the Whole Foods Cookbook to enjoy as a Thanksgiving appetizer or as an any-time appetizer.  It may need reheating after awhile if you don't gobble it down immediately... and, if there are any leftovers, it is an amazing topper for baked potatoes (just re-heat and place a big spoonful on top).  And please use as many local or organic ingredients as you can!
