Produce List for Week of April 29th

Greetings!

Below is a list of what you should find in your baskets this week:

Strawberries
Artichokes
Red Leaf Lettuce
Oranges
Lemons
Tangerines
Beets
Swiss Chard
Spring Onions
Garlic
Red Potatoes
Parsnips

I love this time of year when artichokes start coming around!  It reminds me of my grandmother who would prepare her artichokes by stuffing them with a breadcrumb-parmesan mixture and then steam them.  We would make a meal out of it and all sit around the table, each of us with our own artichoke, peeling each individual leaf off.  I occasionally still prepare artichokes in the same manner in honor of the woman who influenced a lot of my love for the culinary world.

Happy cooking!
