Quick View
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup [object Object]
- 1 cup artichokes (drained and rinsed)
- oil
- salt & pepper
- cheese
Instructions
We start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees and removing the artichoke stuffing from the freezer. We halve the artichoke hearts lengthwise, squeeze out as much water as possible, and place them cut-side up in a 9-inch glass pie plate. We sprinkle the stuffing both on top and around the pan. We drizzle the bread crumb mixture with a little olive oil and add some freshly ground black pepper and a small amount of salt.
We bake the artichokes in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. We just want the bread crumb mixture to brown and the hearts to be heated through.
We grate some Locatelli on top, with our microplane grater, and serve.

While Chris did some yard work (hey, it happens every now and then), Robin and the kids prepared the pizza dough. The kids had themselves the grandest of times. They poured and measured flour and ran the KitchenAid. By the time they were done, they were both a complete mess, but they were a happy mess.
We asked our daughter if she was going to tell Erin that she had made the pizza dough. She decided that if Erin liked it, then she would tell Erin that it was her. When we slid the pizza off the peel onto the pizza stone, it was apparent that the dough was perfect. We told our daughter that this was the best dough that we had ever made and she couldn't have been more pleased.
