{in season now: artichokes}

Mmm mmm. I love artichokes. Love 'em. Artichokes are a "good source of dietary fiber, good source of vitamin C, good source of folate, and a good source of magnesium." We love to buy tons of them in the Spring and eat them for almost every meal, though I noticed our first choice of condiments gravitates toward the not-so-healthy mayonnaise and melted butter. Sound familiar to you? I've listed some alternative ways of eating artichokes that may fare better for your body. Any other favorite recipes out there? Any vegetables you'd like to know more about?

Try brushing with lemon juice and olive oil and grill them!
