Rich in antioxidants and refreshing in taste, artichokes are at their peak right now making them the perfect Spring fare. And while they may look intimidating (psst… that tough exterior is just a front), they’re actually quite easy to prepare.

At Food Republic, we love spending a beautiful Fall day at the local orchard – watching the changing of the leaves, hiking, and of course, apple picking! Autumn is the season for apples, so go out and pick your own then make, what else? Good old American apple pie!
