Artichoke Lemon Dip Recipe
Prep time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
1 14-ounce (400 g) can of artichoke hearts, packed in water, drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup (25 g), packed, grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, room temperature
3 to 4 Tbsp lemon juice
Method
1 Put the drained artichoke hearts, parsley, Parmesan, lemon zest, garlic, and salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse a few times until a paste forms. You should still be able to make out bits of parsley and lemon, so don't over-process it.
2 Place the cream cheese in a medium sized bowl. Add the artichoke parsley mixture and the lemon juice. Stir until well blended. Add more salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Garnish with a few fresh leaves of parsley or ribbons of lemon zest.
serve with raw veggies!!

I just kind of threw this together tonight, but thought it turned out really good. I'm not a big veggie eater, so I'm trying to sneak them into my food.

ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN
4 boneless chicken breasts
8 pieces bacon, coarsely chopped
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
Season the chicken with the seasonings of your choice (I use Spicy Seasoning Salt); grill until just done. Keep the chicken warm. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a skillet until crisp; drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms and garlic in butter, seasoning with salt to taste. Cook until the juices have evaporated. Place the chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 of the mushrooms and bacon, then with the shredded cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.
