steph4777	How about spinach and artichoke dip? Don't know how to make it but I had some at a restaurant the other day and it was yummy! Posted 5/10/05 11:53 PM
cjb88	FMIL makes stuffed artichokes... yummy... she fills them with a breadcrumb stuffing... Posted 5/11/05 12:24 AM
Lisa	cut the tops off, press down on the top to open the leaves a little, then put them in a pot of water (just enough water to go up about 1/2 way up the choke) and a little olive oil and steam them. Very Yummy!!! Posted 5/11/05 8:04 AM

TAD	Posted by jms100303 I love stuffed artichokes. I have an awesome recipe for the microwave. How do you make them in the micro? i love stuffed artichokes.

cjb88	Posted by Lisa Posted by nora101004 Isn't there a part in them that you CAN NOT eat? yes the hairy part right above the heart beware of that hairy part!! Usually when FMIL makes stuffed artichokes, she scoops the hair out... well we got some from a restaurant who didnt do that and I got some of those hairies in my mouth... IT WAS AWFUL!!!!!! Not a fun experience!! Posted 5/13/05 7:39 PM
Blazesyth	This is a good one that we usually have a couple times a month. This also is nice because it is a sausage recipe, different than the usual sausage and peppers. Artichokes with Pork Sausage, Lemon and Sage Posted 5/13/05 10:44 PM
TAD	We had them last night and My MIL made some and brough thers over and she forgot to take out the hairy part. My SIL says hers were great. Ewwwww I dont know if its cause its her mother or what but I liked it till I got to that part. Posted 5/19/05 10:13 AM
