Gumbo Ya Ya: Artichokes on Toast with Ricotta & Garlic

Welcome to my site!

I'm Cindy, and I love to cook! And, I love to eat... hence the size of my rear end! I come from a long line of cooks. My great great Grandmother was a cook in the original Harvey Houses. My grandmother Julia was an awesome cook, and my mom was incredible. I owe my skills to these great women. Especially my Mom who said this to me about making gravy... "Cindy Lynn, wallpaper paste is wallpaper paste & gravy is gravy. Never the two shall meet!" Shall we say my first experience at making gravy left a little bit to be desired! Thank the high heavens my cooking skills have improved since then! Enjoy!

I love to roam the web in search of delicious dishes and fun stories. I enjoy many blogs - but my favorite is The Yummy Mummy, Kim. She shares humorous true life stories of being a wife and mother and her fabulous recipes for so many tasty treats. Tonight I served the Artichoke Hearts on Toast with Ricotta and Garlic - and of course they were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Click here for her site and recipe. It was easy to make and quite mouth watering. Give it a try - or at least check out her site. It's fabulous - and so is she!
