A few campers get weekly produce bags from a local farmer through C.S.A. (Community Supported Agriculture) bags. It was mentioned in the RSBC Fit & Healthy Group on Facebook (join if you haven't yet!) that in the upcoming bag expect Artichoke. I've eaten Artichoke maybe twice in my life so I would have NO idea what to do with them. I've done some searching on The Googles to find some clean, healthy, (and delicious looking) recipes. If you have more, please post them in the comments below.
