Stuffed Artichokes
Never did I think I would ever consider a recipe that had artichokes in it. That was until I had been eating the spinach artichoke dips that are featured on the appetizer menus at several popular restaurants. I also even had a dish at my wedding that featured artichokes.Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Risotto -- with (a little) Beer!

I'm always looking for different ways to add artichokes to a meal and this has become one of my favorites. It's easy, simple, and quick - three of the best words when it comes to me and the kitchen!
