Creamy Artichoke and Spinach Dip -- Non-Dairy :)

Hi, 
This dip is fantastic.  I'm going to post a general "guideline" -- If you need help with something like making a white sauce, just let me know.


Creamy Artichoke and Spinach Dip


2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
8 to 10 ounces of frozen chopped spinach
1 - 14 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained
1 to 1 1/2 cups white sauce or Alfredo sauce, from scratch using goat milk or rice milk
3/4 cup Romano cheese (sheep milk)*
1/2 cup soft goat cheese or home made yogurt "cream" cheese
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper


Combine all of the ingredients.  Either microwave on high for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally or cover and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.  Serve warm/hot.


*We have started to add some real cheese back into our diets.  The ratio we used was 1/3 cup Romano and about 2/3 cup Italian shredded cheese.
