Macaroni and Cheese with Artichokes

Do you have a recipe for macaroni and cheese with artichokes? 
-Linda 

Hello again Linda!
While I don’t have a macaroni and cheese recipe that specifically includes artichokes, I think that sounds wonderful!  There’s no reason you couldn’t add some artichokes to my Traditional Macaroni and Cheese recipe, or to my Two-Cheese Macaroni recipe.  You can use either fresh steamed artichoke hearts, frozen, thawed artichoke hearts or canned artichoke hearts (make sure in any case that you pat them dry first, otherwise they can thin out the cheese sauce).  Fold them into the cheese sauce with the macaroni and bake as directed for a gourmet take on a classic comfort food.  I do hope you try it and let me know how it turns out!

    I have not been able to master cooking a whole chicken to make it flavorful, juicy, and with a crispy tasty skin. Also, I usually cook it with veggies surrounding it while it cooks. Any suggestions? --Laura Ann

    Hi Betty,

    I have tried so many cookie recipes, but nothing turns out good. I love gingersnaps. Can you suggest some recipe that I can make?

    Not really a cooking question, but a serving one. We are having 30 people for Thanksgiving dinner. My son wants me to serve our yummy squash soup. I don't have 30 soup bowls and am trying to figure out how to serve soup to that many people. Any suggestions? Thanks. --Cathy
