Toasty Spinach Dip

Mark's favorite and heavily fattily nutritious!  He was after me for quite some time now to make this for him.  I've been putting it off since I've been very busy lately at home and at work.  So finally today, I took a little time out of my busy Saturday schedule and made this for both father and son to enjoy.

We had it first at one of the restaurant here, I don't remember the name of it.  We instantly fell in love with this app.  It was sinfully good!  Affter having tried out a few recipes, this is the recipe we gave a two-thumbs up! So, today I am sharing with all my friends out there one of my family favorite appetizer recipe.
