Loretta, my BBF from high school, gave me this recipe in February of 2012....2 years ago! I set it aside with other recipes that I had printed out and just found it again the other day. I kept looking at it and found it very intriguing and decided that I wanted to make it immediately. I am so glad that I did and I am so excited to share it with you! I found it to be very quick and easy to make because the only thing you have to cut up are the artichoke hearts, unless you can find the ones that are already quartered. My family said that this is a winner and wants me to make it again!
