This is our first Super Bowl feast without grain. Is it possible to create a delicious Super Bowl party using only unprocessed, organic, grain-free ingredients? Yes! Start with a classic favorite: hot spinach artichoke dip. It’s easy and pleases just about everyone. If the amount of fat concerns for you, you might want to read this post or this one. When shopping for your party, remember to look for organic, pastured ingredients if possible. If you really want to get serious, try making your own cream cheese, mayonnaise, or creme fraiche for the dip.
Now that you have a crowd-pleasing dip recipe, what vehicle do you use to eat it? Making your own crackers is a good way to go, or you could use carrot sticks or endive leaves. And as a special treat, some Kettle potato chips (organic, non-gmo ingredients) work nicely too.
Here are a few other ideas for your Super Bowl menu:
Loaded Baked Potato Skins
Steak and Bacon Bites
Raspberry Strawberry Coolers
Roasted Shrimp and Mango Salsa

Mmmm my favorite dip!
Will definitely make this. It is one of my husband’s favorites.
I’ve been dying to make a “good and good for you” spinach artichoke dip. Thanks for ending my search, Carrie! Have a great Super Bowl weekend.
L-O-V-E artichoke dip, but hate how unhealthy it is- this gives me the best of both worlds!!
One of my favorite dips. Unrelatedly, the color in those photos is amazing!
Carrie, this dip would be great as an after school snack as well. Love it
love artichokes – have never had this dip – am I really missing out or is it an excuse to eat potato chips?!!!
The link for making cream cheese at home is giving instructions on making labneh, a completely different product than cream cheese. I’ve made labneh many, many times, and it always sour, unlike cream cheese.
This is the first recipe for spinach artichoke dip that has also linked up ways to make my own mayonnaise and creme fraiche and I love that! I feel like that would make the dip taste that much more fresh and amazing. I do agree with “na” though that the cream cheese link is really making labneh, which would add a different flavor to the mix. But if people want a less rich flavor maybe they’d prefer that.
I can’t wait to try this healthier recipe for one of my absolute favorite appetizers. One suggestion- Try adding chopped red bell pepper to the recipe. It adds great flavor and beautiful color.
