Horizons = Expanded

While grocery shopping for ingredients for the Mediterranean Quinoa Bowls, I encountered two foods that I had never tried before, and decided to give them a shot.

One was the artichoke:


Abby made a yummy dipping sauce from mayo, garlic, and some chili powder. I was intrigued by this crazy vegetable. What other food do you scrape the food off of the leaves? And all that hair that we had to get through to get to the heart? CRAZY! I'm glad I tried it, and would like to try some kind of lemony dipping sauce next time.

I also tried a blood orange:


The beautiful red color that I saw when I cut it open made me giddy! I know...the simple things in life. It was yummy, but didn't taste much different than a regular orange. I looked up some information about the blood orange, and apparently it's just a sweet orange with a genetic mutation to make it so colorful.
