Fresh Artichokes: An Inexpensive Luxury

Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about our New Year’s Eve treat, Fresh Artichokes.

I always feel like I’m living the good life when we have Fresh Artichokes. I was an adult before I ever tried one (my family was not adventurous eaters). They are neither expensive nor hard to make, and because they are not commonplace for average families, I love to serve them on special occasions. I picked one up at the local grocery store for just $1.99 and it was delicious!

Serve it with Lemon Butter. Peel, dip the bottom end and eat your hot, Fresh Artichoke. A good butter server will make it extra special. I like the servers with the warmer to keep your butter hot! What kind do you like?
