Stuffed Artichokes

Watching 16 and pregnant is depressing. Like, locking my future daughter in the house until she's 60 depressing. It really is so bad that I have to stop watching, right now....ok now...ok damn it's like a train wreck.

She did whaaaa?

Why this led to stuffed artichokes is beyond me. I just suddenly wanted one. And I'm sure now you do too.

Ingredients:
3 large artichokes
1 lemon squeezed into juice
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (I used the amazing blend from costco)
1/4 breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil

Wash the artichokes really well, getting between the leaves? Stemmie things? Get a really big knife and CAREFULLY cut off the top and stem. This took a lot of work which makes me think either I need to lift more weights or get sharper knifes.
Cut off the pointy parts off the leaves. We are going to call them leaves.
Combine lemon juice, parm cheese, breadcrumbs and olive oil in a bowl. Mix everything together, it will be sticky if you are primitive and use your fingers.

Shove this mixture in the artichoke. I wasn't really sure how to do this so I just stuffed everywhere.
Put it in a 6qt crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours. Mine was done at 3 1/2.

Verdit:
I think I succeed. Or I overstuffed it. Can you overstuff an artichoke?
