This is a perfect dish for football season if you serve the mini artichokes with individual dipping cups for the Lemon tarragon aioli.
I found everything I needed at Fresh Market. Thanks to Tommy Bahamas for inspiring this dish.
I love to serve wild caught grilled salmon with a blueberry sauce as a perfect Labor Day good bye to summer meal…well, at least a goodbye to our friends up North.
