From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets
It's spring and my weekly box from a local farm is filling with greens and asparagus. I also live near the "artichoke capitol of the world", and I happen to love them. So let's celebrate spring with fresh veggies! Have a great weekend - Laura

Oven-Roasted (or Grilled) Asparagus
Not only do I love the taste of asparagus, I love how super-easy is it to fix. Check out the Carb Profile of Asparagus.

Artichokes!
I love artichokes, and feel bad for those who lack the enzyme that makes artichokes taste yummy. (Even then you could use them as a vehicle for this tasty Lemon Butter Sauce). Artichokes may look intimidating, but they aren't hard to cook, and they're fun to eat! In this carb profile for artichokes, I include how to ccok and eat them.

Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing
The version of this in restaurants often has a surprising amount of sugar. This version of the classic spinach salad can easily be made into a meal by adding chopped cooked chicken or turkey. Carb Profile of Spinach

How to Cook Greens
It's hard to overestimate how good leafy greens are for us - they are simply packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and other good things. We really should eat at least one serving of greens every day! Here are lots of idea about how to cook them, flavors to combine them with, etc.
