Spinach-Artichoke Dip

saving dinner

1 (8-oz.) package lowfat cream cheese
1/4 cup low-fat milk
4 ounces canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10-oz.) package frozen chopped spinach, drained
1/2 cup salsa (your favorite jarred variety)
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

In a food processor, add all ingredients and chop, chop, chop till smooth.

Heat and serve with the usual fixin's: veggies, healthy chips, cut-up whole grain bread...

COOKING NOTES:
You could double this and serve at a party, you could use as is and give it to the kids for a fun chip and dip lunch. It takes almost no time to make really and it's substantial enough, too. Make sure it's smooth, no chunks allowed--chunks will probably freak out the kids.
