INSTRUCTIONS
If frozen artichokes are used, cook according to instructions. Do not
overcook. Drain the artichokes, and place them on bottom of a 3-quart
casserole. Squeeze as much moisture as possible from the spinach, and layer
it on top of the artichokes. In an electric mixer blend the cream cheese,
mayonnaise, and butter or oil until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the
milk, and spread this mixture over the top of the spinach. Sprinkle with
pepper and the cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly
browned.
You can refrigerate this dish after putting it together and before baking
it, but if it is chilled, slightly increase the baking time.

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
