(Don’t even try to pretend you never double-dip.) They’re so easy to make that your 5-year-old kid could make them (though they might not look as pretty). <a href="http://annies-eats.com/2012/02/22/cucumber-bites-with-garlic-herb-filling/" target="_blank">Click here</a> for the recipe.</p>

Instead of baking the artichokes with a mixture of cheese, breadcrumbs and a lot of oil, this recipe steams the artichokes and lets you peel off leaves and individually use them to scoop up some of the creamy walnut dip. Instead of cheese or cream, the dip uses just walnuts, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and herbs. <a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/2961?sf3668057=1" target="_blank">Click here</a> for the recipe. </p>
