One of Dr. Erin’s favorite foods is a whole artichoke (Cynarus scolymnus). It’s a rather common but largely overlooked treat in our opinion and one that should be eaten more often since it is so easy to prepare! Artichokes are also fabulous for liver function. Enjoy in early winter or late spring when they are in season.

As a food, organic artichokes are a simple and quick snack to prepare if you have a pressure cooker or oven.

INGREDIENTS: 

  • 1-2 Whole artichokes, cut in half
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1-2 Tsps. Organic butter or olive oil (optional)
  • Organic mayo (primal kitchen has a regular and vegan option)
  • 1 Lemon, squeezed (optional)
  • Other optional seasonings like garlic, onion, cumin, or pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

Most chefs suggest squeezing the juice of a whole lemon in the cooking water, but Dr. Erin’s undiscerning palate enjoys them even when she doesn’t have time for the lemon!

  • Wash the artichoke
  • Cut the partial stem off
  • Cook it in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes at full steam with about a 1/2 inch of water in the bottom.
  • If not using a pressure cooker, set oven to 350F, and dress artichokes with 1/2 inch water and butter. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until leaves are tender.
  • Season artichokes if desired
  • Dip leaves in desired oil such as flax seed oil, olive oil, butter, herb puree, or organic mayonnaise
  • When the leaves are gone, gently cut into the heart, removing the spindly, spiky hairs that are no fun to eat, and then devour the best part: the heart!

Autumn is quite the magical time of year with the weather cooling down and all of the spices coming into season to keep us warm. Unfortunately, with all of those spiced lattes and teas comes heaping amounts of sugar; a known immune depleter and energy zapper. Good news is that there are many “sweet” and “spiced” drinks that taste delicious and support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and encourage overall well-being.

A great vegan brownie recipe to enjoy Cocoa on a hot summer day!

Studies show that the antioxidant concentration in cocoa is almost twice as strong as red wine. Cocoa’s concentration was two to three times stronger than that of green tea and four to five times stronger than that of black tea.

Antioxidants help prevent cancer, heart disease, age-related macular
degeneration and aging in general because they fight free radicals in the body.

The flavonoids found in Cocoa help your body process nitric oxide, and therefore lower your blood pressure and improve heart health.
The flavonoids also increase the blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Since dementia is caused by a reduced flow of blood to the brain, researchers think dementia could be treated with cocoa.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of walnuts, chopped
  • 3/4 cups of cocoa (or raw cacao!)
  • 2/3 cup of agave nectar

Instructions:

  • Blend the walnuts and cocoa in a blender or food processor, then mix in the agave.
  • Spread into a pan and freeze.
  • Store Brownies in the Freezer and pull them out to eat a piece!

Instructions:

  • Marinate the tempeh strips in mix above for 1-2 hours or immediately place in the oven on 100-150 degrees (lowest setting) and allow the tempeh to slowly absorb the flavors while partially “dehydrating”.
  • Be sure to use a square glass or metal container that allows the tempeh pieces to be completely covered by the liquid.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the squash, radishes and lettuce.
  • Once the tempeh has absorbed most (not all) of the marinade, remove the tempeh from the oven (probably 1 1/2 hours) and mix the remaining liquid into a bowl with the other vegetables, save the lettuce leaves for the “wrap”.
  • Then on a dry plate, place 2-3 pieces of tempeh lengthwise on a leaf of the lettuce.
  • With tongs, grab a ‘handful’ of the vegetable/arame mix and place in the center of the leaf, on top of the tempeh.
  • Gently wrap the leaf around the contents and place on another plate.
