Whipped up this yummy spread to eat while watching the Academy Awards. This was appetizer for dinner night and Hubs and I ate it ALL on a toasted baguette. If you don't have crusty bread, just pull out the crackers and get the party started! This is one mean cheesy garlic artichoke spread. COOK'S NOTE: prep time listed does not include the 45 minutes to roast garlic head. Please plan ahead for roasting and cooling time.
