South Beach Diet Thoughts - 4 - Artichokes Benedict

                         

                 

                        I'm back with more on the Diet! 

Since it is currently working pretty well I thought I would share what I had for breakfast.  If you like artichokes this is a great one.  Basically it's art!

(Hmm, never noticed that art was actually in the word before)

After cutting off the stem and setting the artichoke upright in a boiling pot of salted water for about 30 minutes you take it out and set it in a dish...just open the leaves and scoop out the center fuzzy part along with the smaller inside leaves...add a slice of heated canadian bacon, a poached egg and a little hollandaise and voila...Artichokes benedict...it's magic.
