Grilled Artichokes and Bomb Ass Dipping Sauce

If you’ve ever been to Hillstone/Houston’s, you’ll know about the unreal grilled artichokes. Huge Globe artichokes seasoned heavily with steak seasoning and charred to perfection. They’re served alongside a delicious remoulade, and are a memorable appetizer.

Growing up, we only ate steamed artichokes with mayonnaise. Our artichokes never graced the piping hot grill or bathed in lemon juice. After having grilled arties at Hillstone all these years, I decided to make them at home. Prepping artichokes is much easier than it looks - follow along for the tastiest artichokes.

Baked Spinach and Artichoke Phyllo Bites

Baked Spinach and Artichoke Phyllo Bites

Happy Holidays!! I’m so excited for Thanksgiving - it’s one of my favorite holidays. Today’s recipe is great for potlucks or hosting your own holiday event. Spinach artichoke dip is one of those classics that are just so comforting and indulgent. Best served when piping hot and topped with tons of cheese…I’ve only really had store-bought or dip from a restaurant. I figured it might be nice to whip up a homemade recipe to cut down on unnecessary preservatives/ingredients. Crisp, delicate phyllo dough is spinach and artichoke dip’s bff. Phyllo seems difficult to work with, but actually turned out to be really therapeutic. You can also use pre-made phyllo cups, available in the frozen aisle. I’ll show you how easy it is to make mini phyllo cups filled with this delicious dip! This recipe is as simple as mixing all the ingredients, spooning the dip into phyllo cups, and throwing them in the oven to get warm and golden! Let’s get baking :)

Glorious One-Pan Chicken and Artichokes

One night I was craving artichoke hearts, and decided to mess around with incorporating them in a chicken dish for dinner. Marinated artichoke hearts are light, tender, and punchy. They add a beautifully complex flavor to any dish because they have been marinated in a flavorful oil infused with tons of spices. I love them on salads and in pasta, and thought that their tangy flavor would be delicious in a Mediterranean inspired meal.
