Roast Tomato Spinach Artichoke Dip by misty

I've experimented with variations of some delicious dips and finally came up with one of my own. I took inspiration from a spinach artichoke dip I tried earlier this year. Also, as naughty as it tastes, it's pretty low fat for the cheesy gooey goodness that it is.
