Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 10" skillet, cook onion in oil until tender. Add 2/3 of the chopped tomatoes and all of the jalapeno peppers; cook 2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Stir in spinach, 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, half and half, olives, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well.

• 3. Serve with tortilla chips and/or fresh veggies to dip. (I like to serve a platter with red, yellow, orange and green peppers along with tortilla chips.)
