Introduction
I went to the grocery store hungry--big no, no. I saw the Spinach dip. It seemed to say to me, you've been so good. Be bad. I resisted. I came home. I approximated a full fat spinach dip as best I could. I may definitely make some changes, but this is one recipe I had to write down, save, and maybe you will make some cool changes that will help me improve it.

Ingredients
-
2/3 cup of Cottage Cheese
4 oz of Nefchatel Cheese
1.5 oz of Taleggio* Cheese
About 1/4 cup of feta or less.
3/4 pack of frozen spinach
a splash of water
Seasoned to taste--fresh garlic, pepper, allspice, Old Bay, Sazon Goya, ground black pepper, salt
a blender
*You can definitely substitute the Taleggio for any other soft cheese. It will change the fat content, but you aren't really using a lot of it. I just happened to have a ton of it. Once I (if ever) run out of taleggio I'm going for a cheaper soft cheese--Mozzarella or a Brie.
Directions
Cook the frozen spinach and let cool in the refrigerator. (It is better if the spinach is cool, but it won't really hurt anything if the spinach is hot and all the other ingredients are cold)
Blend the cottage cheese with a little bit of water until it is smooth.
Add the other cheeses and the seasonings. I cut the cheese into small chunks so as not to abuse my cheap little blender. Season it to your taste. I used fresh garlic, ground black pepper, a dash of Allspice, a dash of Old Bay, and a dash of Sazon Goya, and a dash of salt..
Blend until smooth.
Add spinach to your preference. I like a lot of spinach and less dip. So, if you use 3/4 a package of the frozen spinach, that is what you will get.
Eat with multi-grain triscuits :)
