Grilled Artichokes



For years, I have cooked boiled artichokes
but, since I tried the grilled artichoke appetizer 
at 
Houston's Steak House, 
I haven't been able to go back to the boiled kind.

My boyfriend didn't think he would like them, but, he is now addicted.

We eat grilled artichokes at my house all the time.  

You can make them either as an add on to a meal or as the meal itself.

I cooked them the other night and took pictures of the process so that you can try them at home too~

Let me know what you think!



You will need:
a cutting board
a bread knife
a big bowl
a big pot
kitchen scissors
small spoon
2 large spoons
2 bowls 
a paint brush baster
garbage can

Ingredients:
any number of large artichokes
lemon juice
sour cream (not non fat it doesn't taste right)
mayonaise
olive oil (I use extra light virgin - cold pressed)
salt/pepper
garlic powder
