Meg's Spinach Artichoke DiP + Milton's baked crackers

YUMMMMMMMO is all I'm gonna say.

Let me first tell you what inspired this recipe. I was walking through Sprouts one day and spotted these crackers on the shelf: Milton's Craft Bakers Crackers. I put them in my cart on a whim and was so surprised at how much I loved them when I opened them up at home. They're the perfect crispy + salty combo, and the dip options are endless. The next thing I knew, I saw them at Costco in a BIG bag, and my little toddler just about dove out of our cart to grab them. (We're a little obsessed over here.) After trying them with all sorts of dip (paired with cottage cheese is a must-try!), I decided I wanted to create my own lightened-up and healthy recipe for spinach artichoke dip. Because crackers and spinach artichoke dip? A match made in heaven.

The ingredients are simple and authentic: just like the crackers. I love that Milton's crackers are not only gluten free and Non GMO, but they contain 7 grains and 4 seeds in every bite. And the very best part? THEY ARE DELICIOUS. My favorite flavors are the "Everything," "Multi-Grain," and "Crispy Sea Salt." I find them here
