SIDES: Warm, Spicy, Low-fat Spinach Dip

I love warm spinach dips, but they're typically very fattening.  The problem is most dips use heavy cheese or sour cream, which really up the ante on the fat-factor.  I made this dip for a family Super Bowl party and it was a hit.

Serving Size: 10-12

Ingredients:

• 1 package frozen, chopped spinach (typically 14-16 oz)
• 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped finely
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cayenne or red chili powder
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 oz low or non-fat cream cheese (1/2 a small tub)
• 1 cup non-fat yogurt 
• 1/2 cup shredded low or non-fat cheddar cheese 

Instructions

• Heat garlic and spinach in a medium deep pan over medium heat
• Let water cook out of cpinach

• Add in yogurt - cook until the yogurt's water content dries out a bit (3-5 minutes)
• Add in cream cheese and stir throughly
• Let mixture heat for another 3-4 minutes
• Add in shredded cheese and stir thoroughly as the cheese melts
