0utre's Spinach Artichoke Dip

As always, I'm grateful for all the help you guys offer. This time around, this request for easy recipes for spinach artichoke dip yielded 0utre's guidelines for this dish. Bonus points for avoiding any ingredients that I'm still scared of (sour cream, mayonnaise). Tasted rich and satisfying and I've made it twice now, including once for dinner with friends.
