We loved this appetizer! Had it before Easter dinner and it set the scene for dinner perfectly. Will use again and again. Thanks!

Made these for Super Bowl, huge hit and they were a pretty presentation. Completely forgot the artichoke hearts while shopping and they were still delicious, easy to make and leftovers keep really well.

Friday night after the work week ends, we like to start the weekend off with a nice glass of wine and a couple of appetizers before dinner. These have become a go to and will be even better when the weather gets warmer.

Loved this recipe.  Watched Katie make it and thought that would be a great side for Super Bowl. It was excellent!  Would definitely make again, perhaps for a summer party. Keep on cooking!
