When life gets busy, it’s hard to get out for a date night. Here’s how we enjoy a date night in, including a recipe for Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip!

If you’re anything like us, your nights are totally busy and the craziness doesn’t seem to let up. We have little kids in our family, which makes it really hard to get out and go on a date. For that reason, we take advantage of the moments when our kids are in bed and we have some time and the TV to ourselves.

Here’s How We Have a Date Night In

Choose Drinks

One of the most commonly asked questions in our house is, “Do you want a drink?” We have a fridge out in the garage that’s always stocked with our favorite Coca-Cola beverages. I’m like most women in my town and love an ice cold Diet Coke. My hubby loves his Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. We make the perfect pair!

Enter the Sweepstakes

If you’re all about a night in with the TV, here is a chance to use that to enter to win all kinds of prizes, including Coca-Cola gift packs, electronic store gift cards, TV soundbars, and more! Here’s how to enter:

Pick up your favorite Coca-Cola beverage and Program Your Night.

Share your photo on Twitter or Instagram with both #programyournight and #sweepstakes for a chance to win cool prizes.

Make the Perfect Snack

We love to snack while we’re watching TV together. Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip is the perfect option for munching because it’s easy to share and so good!

Chop up all ingredients and combine in a large bowl. Then spread into a baking dish, top with cheese, and bake. That’s it! Super easy and so yummy.

Prep the Couch for TV Watching

Now that your cold Coca-Cola beverages are picked and the snack is made, it’s time to get the couch ready for the date night. Place that spinach dip right in the center and the beverages close by. Everybody gets their own side and their own drink so nobody gets hurt. 😉

And now you’re ready for your date night in!
