  I'm usually inept when it comes to deviating from recipes, but I did exactly that with this greek yogurt and artichoke dip recipe...and what resulted was the creamiest, tastiest hummus I've ever tried. Here's the recipe: 1 can of chickpeas, drained (I know, BPA is bad news. I didn't have the patience to soak them, though, and dealing with me when I'm hungry is also bad news). three heaping tablespoons of greek yogurt (for what it's worth, it was rBGH-free). 3 artichoke hearts (also canned...I'm an awful person). 3 medium...
