failure dinner.
the other night, I was so excited to make dinner. On the menu: steamed artichokes (my rookie attempt!), baked chicken with lemons, and good old chocolate chip cookies (off the recipe on the bag!)
All. Three. Failed.
The cuts in the chicken are the number of times it was supposed to be done, but wasn't! It somehow was undercooked AND dry.
and, really, how many times have i made chocolate chip cookies? they crumbled and didn't taste very good. ryan ate them, but that was just to make me feel better. the good news? it just kept getting funnier and funnier. what we ended up having for dinner? bagel bites. no joke.
just wanted to be sure you know all my creative ideas don't work out so well :) ok you amazing readers, i haven't given up on artichokes yet, got any tips for me?!
p.s. stay tuned for amazing veggie tacos we made!!

Keep trying on the artichokes, we love them. Not sure how you seamed them or for how long. i usually steam them stem down in the water for 40min, checking the water level & for doneness every 15-20min. I've just recently found that ziploc steam bags work well too w/about an inch of water in the bottom, for about 8 min at a time until done. Check out this website for great tips and recipes.
