Golly! It has been a while since I last posted anything. I have be in total vacation-mode since I arrived at my parents’ house on Saturday morning.
I have a new bff since I have been home. I raided the pantry and found canned artichoke hearts. I am not a fan of canned anything but I figured that artichoke hearts would be great on a salad — I always love when they do that in restaurant. And boy oh boy, these were tasty. I have eaten at least one salad everyday since Saturday that includes artichoke hearts. They are my new favorite thing.
The romaine lettuce and spinach salad included artichoke hearts cut in half and a vine ripe tomato. For the dressing, I kept it simple today with red wine vinegar and olive oil.
Guess who went to the beauty parlor today?

If you could only smell the difference. She went from smelling like a dump-truck to a bed of roses.
Doesn’t Laverne look a little like Bozo?
Hey there! I am twenty something vegetarian with a passion for real food, cooking, and living a healthy, happy life.
Whitney, I absolutely love artichokes. I have only ever had the jarred kind though and there is something in them that I am allergic to. (I too do not like to use anything from a can or jar).
Have you ever cooked a real artichoke? I would love to experiment.
Laverne’s haircut is so funny! I am sure she smells terrific.
