Walnut Crusted Artichokes make a mouthwatering appetizer.

Walnut Crusted Artichoke Hearts are ready in about 20 minutes and are SO good. I think artichokes are delightful just about any way you make them, but sautéing them with a walnut crust definitely makes my list of best appetizers. You can use canned, marinated or frozen artichokes. I especially like marinated ones because the combination of the tangy artichokes and the walnut breading is terrific.

This vegan/vegetarian recipe (modified just a little) comes from Robin Robertson’s Vegan Planet (affiliate link). Great cookbook. I have three of Robertson’s cookbooks, and they all have amazing recipes. She is one of my favorite cookbook authors….

Good food can more than nourish you, it can heal you. Thank goodness! Because I developed several health issues a few years ago. I learned I had food sensitivities and what a pain (literally) that is. Food choices helped me heal my gut and my heart. How? I’ll tell you in a minute.

November brings my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. because of the food, of course. I especially love Baked Turkey and Don’s Famous Pecan Pie, which thankfully, my husband makes gluten free for me or I wouldn’t be able to eat it. I do splurge a bit at this time of year and eat a little more sugar than usual. November is also National Vegan Month, so I will post several vegan recipes during the month. My vegan followers won’t go hungry anytime soon.

And at the end of the month, watch for my new book talking about my healing story, featuring 30 fall and winter recipes, and giving you some tools to figure out what foods might be causing you trouble….
