-Frozen artichokes (thawed) can be substituted for canned, you will need about 6 artichoke hearts

-My adaptions to this recipe:

• I used a full brick of Neufchatel cheese (8 ounces)
• I used 2-3 garlic cloves as I knew we’d like a bit more garlic in this
• I added as much of the spinach as I could to my slow cooker in the beginning. After the spinach had cooked down a bit, I added the remaining spinach.
