Artichokes with Lemon Butter
Artichokes with Lemon Butter are so good. My family happens to be addicted to artichokes. I had never heard of or seen an artichoke until I was in my twenties, living in Paris. (I grew up in Indiana on canned vegetables). Anyway, I learned how to make artichokes from my friend Jody, who lived in the same foyer.

Roasted Broccoli Florets with Toasted Breadcrumb Gremolata
Roasted Broccoli Florets with Toasted Breadcrumb Gremolata is a traditional accompaniment to the Milanese braised veal shank dish osso buco alla. Broccoli seems to be the only vegetable that everyone in the family will eat. Because of this, I tend to make it a lot. I found this recipe in an old Bon Appetit. Of course, the use of lemon piqued my interest! Gremolata or gremolada is a chopped herb condiment typically made of lemon zest, garlic, and parsley.

Beets help cleanse your liver, boost your sex drive (nature's Viagra), combat depression, relaxes the mind, contributes to a sense of well being and the list goes on.
