I have a thought....maybe if I get a food processor and grind up the artichokes, maybe I will be able to enjoy this fabulous dish.

My second new recipe was amazing.  White Chocolate Peppermint Hot Chocolate.  Mmmmmmm....I made the 2-cup recipe this afternoon and enjoyed it while reading Lysa TerKeurst's Best Yes.  It was the perfect Sunday afternoon treat.
