Awesome Spinach Artichoke Dip

I made this a couple of times and it's just awesome. Makes my husband reconsider his view of spinach and artichokes as something inedible. Serve with cut up veggies like cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower or slices of garlic bread.

Ingredients:
2 cups grated/shredded Parmesan cheese (in a pinch you can use stuff from a green can)
1 package (10-12oz) of frozen choppen spinach, thawed
1 (14oz) can of artichoke hearts
2/3 cup light sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise (you can use light mayo, I recently bought cholesterol free saffola oil mayo which was good)
1 cup light cream cheese (room temperature)
4-5 cloves of garlic minced

1. wrap thawed spinach in paper towel and wring dry
2. cut up artichoke hearts in smaller pieces
3. mix together Parmesan, spinach and artichoke hearts
4. combine remaining ingredients and add parmesan mixture
5. Bake at 375F 30 minutes

Note: I buy all of the ingredients (except mayo) at Trader Joe's, they're considerably (about 30-40%) cheaper there.
