I want to try at least one new food this week. I am thinking an artichoke sounds interesting. I have to admit that I've never bought one. So... an artichoke it is. Now... to find a recipe.

Explore with me and discover how food can heal!
As my knowledge of food science gradually increases, I have discovered that the quote sometimes attributed to Hippocrates really is true: "Let your food be medicine and your medicine be food." As a former pre-med student and the mother of seven children I have found over the years that the medicinal band-aids so often administered by the doctors of our day are far less effective than the consistent consumption of whole foods accompanied by physical activity. Often medications and treatments are prescribed with rarely a word about improving an individual's diet. Foods provided to patients in hospitals reflect the misconceptions that many in the medical establishment have about nutrition. And while I find myself in disagreement with the methods employed by some doctors, I do recommend that you seek the advice and help of a qualified physician who places great emphasis on nutrition and preventive therapies. If you have a good one, count yourself as blessed!

Well this might not be healthy, but I LOVE spinach artichoke dip. It's a Pampered Chef recipe.
I love artichokes, but didn't have luck cooking my first fresh one! It turned out very tasteless and stringy. Let me know if you come across a good way to cook it! I usually buy them in the can. They really taste great in pasta salad and "veggie-sketti", as I like to call it...just vegetables(broccoli, artichoke, capers, olive oil...) in the spaghetti instead of meat:P
