ARTICHOKES

Artichokes are scary!!  But if you know how to cook and eat them, they are delicious.

1. Rinse the artichoke in cold water.

2. Slice 3/4″ off the tip of the artichoke. Remove any small leaves from the base of the artichoke.  If the grocery store hasn't already cut the sharp tips of the leaves off you can cut with scissors.
