"It doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people doesn't add up to a hill of beans in this crazy world."

You don't have to go to the trouble of steaming, peeling and cutting your own artichoke hearts. That'd be pretty expensive since those suckers are a couple of dollars each! Bottled artichokes are great to keep in your pantry, but make sure you look for the ones packed in water. Many bottled artichokes have a lot of added salt.
Generally speaking, a bottled artichoke will weigh about an ounce, with two to a serving. Look for artichokes with less than 100 mg sodium per serving.
