The Oscars are like my Super Bowl! I see every movie nominated, I make ballots, Walker and I place bets, I start watching the Red Carpet at like noon and every since I was a little girl I’d have artichokes on Oscar Sunday. I’m not sure how or why this tradition started but every year when I was growing up my mom would make artichokes to snack on while we watch The Academy Awards. I’ve kept this tradition alive and ever since then artichokes are my go to Oscars watching party recipe. I will be making these roasted artichokes this Sunday fo sho!
