My New Website is Up

Started working on my new website. The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) gives all its students and free website. I will be forming it it to my vision in the coming months, but wanted to share it now. I think its really nice. Please visit it at HERE.

I attended IIN last year and graduated this past January. I studied nutrition and am now a certified health coach. I will be taking on a small number of clients to start. You can find more information on my website including my approach, my training and health forms to get started.

Artichokes

Artichokes will start appearing soon. Mostly from outside the Hudson Valley where I live, but they are fresh non the less. Baby artichokes (called baby because the "choke" is not fully formed) take little cleaning before cooking. Larger artichokes take a bit more trimming and the "choke" needs to be removed. Once cleaned the artichokes can be steamed, boiled roasted, deep fried or grilled. Bellow is a recipe for marinated artichokes. They can be used in salads, pies, quiches, pizzas, pasta dishes, etc. So simple and so good.

Marinated Artichokes
2 pt artichokes, cleaned, halved and steamed
½ c extra virgin olive oil
1 ea lemon zest
1 sprig Thyme, fresh
2 ea garlic clove, smashed

1. Combine all ingredients and marinate under refrigeration for 24 hours.
