Last Night’s Dinner – Braised Artichokes and Corn and Chicken Chowder

Look what we had for dinner last night!!! Simple and delicious and both good for a cold winter night. Although it is not cold where we live I still cook these comfort foods in the winter when it is 70º. It’s good for the soul.

The recipe for the Braised Artichokes can be considered a class on Artichokes 101. Many people are intimidated by the thistle-like delicacy since there is a mystic about the Artichoke. Don’t let this get in your way of trying something you have never done before.

It is the beginning of Artichoke Season and the supply is starting to hit the stores. Did you know that 100% of the Artichokes sold in the USA come from California? There is no other source in the U.S. and you can be sure they are fresh picked.

The Corn and Chicken Chowder is one our favorites and sure to please even the pickiest eater. Warm, loaded with corn and chicken and not overly spicy, the chowder warms you on the coldest of days. Serve with Cornbread or a hunk of artisan bread and you’re good to go.
