Spinach Dip with Greek Yogurt

So to everyone's surprise, this year's Super Bowl was my first. I have never watched the game and I usually just watched the commercials the next day. Also, it seems that during my entire academic career, some teacher has decided to place a test on the monday after the Super Bowl.

This year was different though. I had no academic obligations and I decided that it was high time to enlighten myself about all of the hullabaloo surrounding the big game. Also I love any excuse to cook and eat.

Since it is me, I can't make a dip that would cause your arteries to scream. Instead I took an old favorite and lightened it up. I also made my own pita chips to go with it.

I like to think that the speed at which this was consumed to be a promising sign. I'll let you be the judge though.
