So I teamed up with the non-profit Partnership for Food Safety Education, to share some food safety tips along with this recipe for Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip. When I was in my dietetics curriculum we took several classes that focused on food safety since that is an important part of nutrition education.

Did you know, 1 in 6 people become sick from foodborne illness each year? I was shocked at how high those numbers are!! Children, older adults, and anyone with a compromised immune system are especially at risk.

Whether you’re cooking for your family or hosting a party this season, remember these food safety rules to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

CORE FOUR RULES OF FOOD SAFETY

Clean: Wash hands and surfaces often.

Separate: Don’t cross-contaminate.

Cook: Cook to the safe internal temperature.

Chill: Refrigerate or freeze promptly.

    AMEN! A slow cooker spinach and artichoke dip would really be a life saver during the busy holidays! I love using greek yogurt in dips too so I’m glad there’s not a hint of sour cream. I had to look up what neufchatel cheese was and now I really want to try it! Delicious!

    Spinach artichoke dip is one of my favorite appetizers ever, and I love that you made this one with some greek yogurt added. I feel like most spinach artichoke dips are a trap — they sound healthy, what with the vegetables and all, but really they’re like a bajillion calories. This sounds much lighter, and still super yummy!

    And good reminder about food safety — that’s such an important aspect of cooking at home, and I don’t see people talking about it enough!

    I’ve been searching for a solid spinach dip for ages now, but most involve full fat cream or cream cheese. Love how yours is lightened up and made in the slow cooker. I totally need this!

    OMG I have never made spinach and artichoke dip in the slow cooker before – what a genius idea! And those rules are much-needed this time of year, especially when everyone is rushing around getting last minute gifts and organizing their Christmas dinner menus. Seriously, it’s okay to slow down, people!
