March 16th is National Artichoke Day. We love artichokes; both steamed whole artichokes and the hearts themselves, purchased in cans or jars. If you go to a club store, you can often find a good deal on a large jar of artichoke hearts. When we land a few jars, we go to town with different […]

But the fun is arranging the slices in the form of a shamrock, and decorating with a scallion stem and scattered diced scallions. We do recommend adding at […]
