Spinach Artichoke Dip

This recipe is one of Mike's family's favorites.  The recipe was contributed by my Mike's mother, Carrie Ozburn, and published in Recipes and Memories of Nolensville, a cookbook compiled and sold as a fundraiser by the Nolensville Historical Society. 

2 pkg. frozen chopped spinach
2 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
1 can artichoke hearts (chopped)
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
Garlic powder, to taste

• Place spinach and cream cheese in a large bowl and microwave on high till cheese melts.
• Add remaining ingredients when spinach mix has cooled.

The first time I made this recipe I had forgotten to check the recipe for ingredients before I went to the store.  So, while standing in the aisle of the grocery store, I called Stephen, Mike's son, because I knew he had prepared the dip before.  He called off the ingredients precisely and my attempt at this family favorite dip was a success!
