Artichokes
Artichokes are one of my favorite vegetables. Steam and Eat! Each Artichoke leaf is delicious but don’t forget about the heart! Artichoke Hearts can be used in a variety of recipes. I love to serve stuffed artichokes as an appetizer or slice up some marinated artichoke hearts in some pasta. I am surprised that many adults have never tried artichokes before. If you have never eaten this delicious vegetable, today is the day! Don’t shrink back from trying something new especially if it tastes great and is easy to cook. Check out the following recipes for what you are looking for.
A fresh tomato sauce always gives pasta something extra. You can dress up or down the flavors and cooking homemade pasta sauce is so easy! I use to be addicted to Prego, that was all I needed with some pasta…I guess I have grown in what I like in pasta and what I think is delicious!
You can’t go wrong with Artichokes. They are full of fiber, low in calories, and high in flavor. I love to eat them as a meal in itself. Sometimes I go plain, salt & pepper, with mayo, or whip up some ‘special sauce’. Yes…Special Sauce sometimes sounds leery, not knowing what is in a special sauce can really put you off. Don’t worry, I tell all in this sauce! Artichokes are the easiest thing to make as well as the dipping sauce to accompany it.
