Saturday Vittles

 

My daughter and I are trying to eat healthier, so I am sharing some of the dishes that we are eating each week. 

I told you a while back we have been eating these small plates of food for lunch. I thought I would show you a couple more since we bought a few new things to go on them. 

This one has: 

Artichoke hearts, black olives. green olives, pickled cocktail onions, raspberries, blueberries, picked spicy vegetables, and strawberries. 

It's filling and it tastes good. I like changing up what we put on the plates so there's a variety of different things. You can change this up to suit your own tastes. 

Here's a different one we had on another day. 

It has dried apricots, sliced radish, pickle spears, black olives, green olives, pickled spicy vegetables, sliced baby cucumber, chopped dates rolled in oat flour, and pretzel crisps. 

Would you eat this? Do you like artichoke hearts?

  2. Lots of variety there! I don't know if I've ever eaten an artichoke heart. I like the flavour of artichoke dip, though.

  9. I LOVE artichokes hearts! I have them in my pasta, with feta cheese, cherry tomatoes and olives. A recipe of my invention. What you ate is a mezze, right? We used to order some in a Greek cafe. Delicious, but frugal and a tad expensive.

  14. I love artichoke hearts, the ones from fresh cooked artichokes and the marinated ones. I like the marinated ones in pasta salad. Not much for onions. I use onion powder for the taste, and use it for cooking when either it breaks down, like in chili or stew, or I can avoid it, like big pieces in fajitas. My oldest will be 45 this year!
