Migs making sure that Chuck didn't have to run alone - AWESOME!!

As you probably noticed last Friday, we included one of Sweet Cheeks HQ’s delicious recipes in this blog.  Since the ladies of SCHQ are so damn cool, and we at CPC believe wholeheartedly in their message of combining nutritiousness (yes, it’s a word) with deliciousness we’re going to be featuring one of their recipes every week.  We also want to let you know that SCHQ is running a new challenge starting April 1^st – No Grains For The Week.  Do you think that you can do it?  No wheat, rye, sourdough, breads, cakes, pasta, many soups, rice etc.  No freakin’ grains people!  Personally, I’m going to give this one a go as well.  We’re going to have another Paleo Challenge here at CPC in the not too distant future and this is a great way to start to gear up for it.  Here’s this weeks recipe care of A-Train and Shirley Brown! 

What you’ll need:
2 Fresh artichokes (or more)
1 head of garlic
olive oil
sea salt

Artichokes in the shape of cheeks...yummy!

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Chop the stem and top off the artichokes. Leave a small base and clip the tops of the leaves with scissors. Rinse the artichokes and let the water drain out.
3. While artichokes are draining, peel the garlic and chop off the tops of clove.
4. Stuff the artichokes with garlic in between the leaves and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil sprinkle with a small amount of salt.
5. Place upright in pan and cover with foil. Roast in oven for1 hour and 20 minutes, until garlic is tender!
