Easy Steamed Artichokes

May 30, 2012 By Kelly Rogers Victor

Consider serving your family steamed artichokes tonight. They are simple to prepare, and kids seem to really love them. Maybe because they look like a pretty flower, or maybe because kids love watching you scoop out the prickly choke after they’ve gnawed on all the yummy leaves.

To prepare: cut the stem down to about 1/2″ and pull off all of the small leaves around the base. Then take a very sharp serrated knife and and cut about 1″ off the top, cutting off a lot of the pointy leaf tips. Use a kitchen scissors to snip off any remaining pointy tips. Rinse well and put into a steam basket in a large pan.Fill with water up to below the basket. Sprinkle some salt over the artichokes and bring to a boil. Turn to “low” and simmer 30 minutes.

Working with Kelly has been life changing. I've learned about healthy food options, their health benefits, portion control, reading labels, and how to prepare these foods deliciously. In just three months my eating habits have changed, my energy level is up, and I've lost weight even though I'm eating more food than ever! Most importantly, my family is reaping the benefits.

Kelly helped me figure out why I kept making the same bad choices even though deep-down I so wanted to make changes. We worked together to enable me to get out of my own way! By helping me adopt small, easy-to-reach goals to work on between meetings, I made steady progress that added up to major change over the course of six months. I am eating and living in a far healthier way than I ever thought possible. I feel amazing and my weight is finally under control.

Kelly helped me put in place a system of new daily habits that transformed my eating and exercise. Rather than giving you a list of foods or exercises to figure out on your own at home, she takes you step-by-step with biweekly meetings to help you create a new lifestyle. I highly recommend her approach if you’re stuck.

Doctors and nutritionists send you home with a “to do” list. Kelly helps you actually get it done. I highly recommend her approach if you’re stuck.

I learned with Kelly that small changes can make big impacts. She helped me prioritize my week and create a plan to get all of the important items on my to do list accomplished. Kelly showed a tremendous amount of support during our meetings which made it easy for me to speak about the aspects of my life I wanted to improve on. I would recommend Kelly to anyone who is looking to get on the path toward a healthier self.
