We are back from Spring Break and I must say, a week in the sun and surf did us all good. I enjoyed the R&R and the wonderful Caribbean food. I didn’t however enjoy my empty cupboards when I returned home. So I scrounged around and pulled out a jar of marinated artichokes for my inspiration. I got the hmmm….what are you making look from my husband but when he tasted these delicious little morsels of goodness he was a happy camper. Appetizers for dinner are sooo underrated. I must have eaten a dozen of these and now they are definitely going to be in heavy rotation for the spring season. Make these for your next party or just a little treat for yourself.
As a bonus, you can make ahead and freeze.
