FRESH SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP (AKA SHEEP DIP)
Adapted from Best of the Best from Colorado, this recipe is so named, according to their description, because the recipe poster's father was a sheep rancher. This is supposedly a best selling recipe on the menu at River City Cafe in Colorado. I have not tried this yet, but since any spinach dip calling for fresh spinach appeals to me, I wanted to share it. This is very different from the usual spinach dips. I have never seen another version quite like this one. I am guessing at the cook time, which I will update once I try this. This makes enough dip for your whole herd! ;). To me, this is perfect football party food!

SHEEP DIP (SHEEP DIP!)
This is from Ireland. Now I'm not sure when Ireland started making feta and ricotta cheeses but it's intro reads: "Cheeses made from sheep's milk are quite popular in Ireland, and this tasty concoction uses two - feta and ricotta. Whether your feta and ricotta come from the milk of sheep, cows, or goats, the mixture will be delicious."

SHEEPHERDERS DIP (AKA SPINACH DIP)
I don't even remember how long I've been making this dip. I believe the recipe was given to me sometime in the 70's but by who I just can't remember. Nonetheless it is a great dip and easy to make.
