I'm all about the grays. I love black but I found it was becoming boring. Who would ever think black was boring but...I found GRAY. It's the new "It" color for this season. Enjoy, it's here for a while.

OUTDOOR ATTITUDE
We always think where will we go for holiday. Why not your own backyard patio. It's not such a far fetched idea!
L
ITALIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES
My husband is Italian. His mother was an amazing cook. Unfortuntely, for our family I didn't get enough of her family recipes to pass onto our children. I did however, get to sample her meals. Recently, my son asked me about his grandmothers Stuffed Artichokes. Here it is...I can taste them already. So delicious! Bon Appetit.

Serves 4
1 cup bread crumbs
½ cup grated Pecorino-Romano Cheese
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 artichokes
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
1. Combine bread crumbs, Pecorino-Romano Cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium bowl. Mix together well.
2. Cut stems off artichokes, flush with bottom. Cut pointy leaves off the top of the artichokes. Spread leaves of each artichoke out and push stuffing in between them.
3. In a pot just large enough to fit the artichokes, add the sliced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the artichokes. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top of the artichokes.
4. Turn heat on to medium and cook until sizzling about 1-2 minutes. Add water to reach half way up the sides of the artichokes.
5. Cover and cook until the artichokes are tender and a leaf is easily pulled out, about 45 minutes. If liquid is evaporating too quickly add a little more water.
6. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle a little of the liquid from the pot over the artichokes and serve.
