APPETIZER
Skillet Bread and Spinach Artichoke Dip | Neighbor Food

“Oh sweet heavens, that’s good.” I believe those were the exact words I uttered when I took my first bite of this Skillet Bread and Spinach Artichoke Dip. I was all by myself in the little studio where I take pictures, hovered over the skillet like a momma bear protecting her young. I thought I was only going to sample a small bite, but two rolls disappeared before I knew what was happening. This stuff is good. Really good. Dangerously good.
