Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Dip

You know what's awesome? Cream cheese. I bet you guessed I was gonna say that.

I mean, it's just so versatile. It's like a 2001 John Mabry sitting in the dairy section of your local grocery store. Am I right, or am I right?

My mother-in-law, Marilyn, introduced me to this tasty dip, and I've been craving it ever since.
