Chips and Dip.....

I should have posted this last week before the Academy Awards......
Every year my first husband and I had a tradition, we would watch the Academy Awards faithful while eating chips and dip...our own little party. Sadly Nick died almost 16 years ago of cancer, but I have continued this tradition to this day. So instead of the the dairy version of dips I used to make, I came up with this delicious non-dairy Artichoke Dip....Nick might have approved but I doubt seriously he would have bought into me being a vegan...(you had to know Nick to appreciate this comment!) Nick, where ever you may be, I hope your enjoying your own version of chips and dip!
Creamy Yummy Artichoke Dip
1 can artichokes (I think its the 15oz ish size)
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
1/2 cup vegan mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup white cooked beans
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Chop the artichokes, place in a bowl and mash everything together.
Place in a casserole, bake for about 30 minutes until nice and bubbly.
Serve with...tortilla chips....can you say yummy!
ENJOY!
