I've joined the Cookbook Challenge community & pledged to cook 6-9 recipes that I already own. I'm excited to participate because I have recipes torn out of magazines & clipped on Pinterest that are more than 5+ years old I've been meaning to try, but always pass over to make my old stand-bys.

I've started in January with a Skillet Lemon Artichoke Chicken recipe I tore out of a Kroger employee magazine my husband receives. This recipe was probably only 6 months old, but since I had 90% of the ingredients in my house already it felt like a great place to start! (I also found it online while I was creating this post!)

Conclusions:
It was great! It was as quick as the recipe said it would be, minimal prep, & made a filling serving that fit into my current eating plan. My husband raved about how good the artichokes were in this dish. I'm likely to make this again when we need a change of pace from our usual fare.
