16w4d: Spinach artichoke dip

Sometime last weekend, I started craving spinach artichoke dip. The craving simply did not go away. So on Tuesday night, I made a whole huge things of it. (I have a really good recipe from Cooking Light, to which I've added a ton of garlic.)

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.

I've eaten it for three straight days now, and am very sad that it's gone. :( My husband had some the first night, but, after seeing that, well, I had an amount of success with it, he's wisely laid off.

I don't know if I wanted the iron (spinach), calcium (dairy), or, well, the fat. But it's like magic. I'm putting it on plain French bread. It has (alas) not cured my vomiting, but it's something that doesn't cause me to puke either. In fact, I usually don't puke until 2ish hours after eating it.

I'm so excited to have found a real food. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning--I bet I've gained something, which will be super exciting to see. And I'll probably buy a bunch more cheese and do it again.

Do you guys know any other dips, since this was so successful? I'm thinking maybe I could look up a bean dip? Mabye if I puree them first, it would fool my body into accepting them?

I deeply and profoundly love this hummus:

Somehow, cravable in a way that storebought hummus never is. Is very garlic-loaded, but I think it's PERFECTION.

Woot!! Yeah to finding something that doesn't make you puke.

My brother makes a dip for all of our party occasions that goes really quickly. It's just a can of beans, salsa, and velveeta I think. You can probably find it on velvveta packages. It is good though... a little spicy, cheesy, and has lots of protein and calcium.

Glad you found the magic food!! And I say: make an enormous second vat and eat it until your heart's content. As far as other dips, have you ever looked on simplyrecipes.com (I love this website/food blog) - she has quite a few on there if you do a search for "dip".
