I'm grateful to have a foodie friend, who also wanted to avoid malls on Black Friday. We managed to motivate ourselves yesterday for a trip to a winery and a field trip to Wegman's on the way home to get fixings to make ourselves a nice dinner. (And as I write this post devouring a wheat carrot muffin from their bakery, I wonder why my life doesn't include more Wegman's field trips.)
Anyways, last night we landed on some bone in pork loin, homemade applesauce, and bacon cabbage reheated in an iron skillet. And a weight watchers lemon cream pie - (I've altered it some, so maybe I'll post that on a rainy day.) A last minute addition to up the veggies was 3 artichokes. They were a game changer.
Anyways, after our trip through the check out with 3 piles - yours, mine, and sharing the cost for dinner - we headed back to my apt to get cooking. The artichoke dip, a complete last minute brain dump of what we should dip artichokes in when we both kind of abhor mayo, I decided to doctor the heck out of it and made one hell of a dip. I'll do my best to recall the approximate measurements. But I would just read through for ideas and generate your own proportions and mix of flavors.
Ingredients:
3 steamed artichokes ready for eating.
Awesome Doctored Artichoke Dip
Ingredients for Dip: (all approximate)
2 heaping T light Hellman's Mayo
2 garlic cloves roughly chopped
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp of magic honey that is lime and cayenne infused
1 tsp lemon juice
Directions:
Puree in the immersion blender attachment. Serve in ramekin. Top with a sprinkle of paprika. Devour with artichoke leaves.
