For those who tried it, liked it, and wanted the recipe. This is my (lighter) version of my dear friend Lori's recipe. Any of the fat-reduced items can be replaced with the full fat if preferred. :)

:: ingredients ::

1/2 cup (4 ounces) block-style fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/8 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/8 cup of reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or more if you would like)
1/4 cup of pickled jalapenos - chopped slightly
(or more if you would like)
1/8 cup of the jalapeno juice from the jar (or more if you would like)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (12-ounce) jar of marinated artichokes - chopped slightly
1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
(or more if you would like)
Cooking spray

:: preparation ::

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; stir until well blended. Stir in artichoke. Spoon artichoke mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle the top with the grated parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until artichoke mixture is hot and the top begins to brown. Serve warm with good crusty bread or crudités.
