    I agree with others that it serves approx. six and replaced butter with olive oil, marinated artichock with brine soaked artichock and added garlic. Next time I'll use fresh spinach. - 2/20/09

    You can save calories by going with canned or frozen artichoke hearts, instead of the marinated kind. Then add a little extra garlic, or cayenne pepper, or something to spark up the flavor. - 2/20/09

    I would definitely cut out all the butter. The mushrooms could easily be sauted in a cooking spray and if you substitute the butter in the bread crumbs for a fat free or light version you could enjoy a much bigger serving without the guilt. - 10/28/08

    Fat free mayo and sour cream are fine here--you won't taste a difference, but don't fool yourself on the per serving calorie count. - 5/23/09

    It sounds fabu but fat. I'll used artichokes in brine and not sautee the breadcrumbs. Actually, it probably doesn't need breadcrumbs if served as a dip. - 1/27/09
