Brian and I have yet to do a complete grocery haul, so our meals are going to be a little bit “creative” this week.

After a quick  2.5 mile run with Brian last night, we were both stumped in the dinner department…but we were also pretty hungry!

I took a peak in our freezer and fridge and I saw that we had shrimp, frozen artichokes, and cauliflower among other things.  For some reason, these three ingredients stood out to me.  I have never really cooked artichoke aside from spinach artichoke dip, placing it on pizza, or putting marinated artichokes in my salad.  So, this was quite the experiment!

I tossed the ingredients in a curry spice mixture that my aunt made for me.  I placed half of the artichoke on a baking sheet with the cauliflower and roasted the artichoke and cauliflower together at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

I then cooked the shrimp in coconut oil on the stove along with the other half of the artichoke, just to see if I would prefer the artichoke baked or sauteed.

The meal turned out absolutely delicious!

Curry is a favorite flavor for both Brian and myself, so you usually can’t go wrong if there is a little curry in the mix.  Brian and I liked the artichoke both ways..so there was no winner there!  I had planned on having leftovers for lunches later in the week, but Brian enjoyed it so much that he ate all the leftovers.  I guess it really WAS tasty 😉

Question of the Morning:

• How do you enjoy cooking/eating artichoke?
  
• What is a new food that you have cooked with recently?
