1/8 cup flour
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Garlic & Herb Blend

3 cups freshly chopped spinach
7 oz. jar roasted artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

Once mixture is blended, add ½ cup of milk and cream at a time. Stirring until mixture is thickened. Season to taste. Add the shredded cheese and set aside to allow the cheese to melt.
