Okie Dokie Artichokie (April 20)

Mom always made us try new foods as we were growing up. One of these was the humble artichoke. We loved this fun vegetable that you got to eat with your hands and even better was the yummy homemade hollandaise sauce or melted butter that we got to dip the tender leaves into. I wanted to share my love of this guy with my family, too. We steamed some up and served it with my favorite quick blender hollandaise sauce and it was a big hit! Max doesn't really care for them, but he's a slow adapter to the new food ideas. He'll come around one of these days. Ella wasn't so sure about it, but I think the eating with her hands concept was pretty much what sold it for her. I don't know if Marty loves them as much as I do, but he eats them anyway. And Natalie, who's my foodie in the making, absolutely loved it and ate a whold artichoke by herself! That's my girl!
