  3. Thanks Devona. Hope things are well!

    Becky! Artichokes were a little intimidating to me too for home cooking, I was inspired to try again after meeting this lady last week who literally carried around pictures of her artichokes on the grill! I thought, if she can, why not me or you...

    here's a great recipe I used as a base: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/artichokes/detail.aspx

    Because I had jumbo artichokes I steamed mine for closer to 45 minutes and then grilled them off (cause I like that grilled flavor)

    If you don't have time to make an aioli from scratch, use this recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/garlic-aioli/detail.aspx and add in an additional teaspoon of melted butter.
