Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes

Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes
Jerusalem artichokes, also known as sunchokes, are a nutritious and versatile vegetable that offer several health benefits. 

Here are ten reasons why they are good for us:

1. Rich in Fiber: Jerusalem artichokes are high in dietary fiber, particularly inulin, which promotes digestive health by supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

2. Supports Gut Health: The inulin in Jerusalem artichokes acts as a prebiotic, enhancing gut flora and improving digestion and nutrient absorption.

3. Low Glycemic Index: Due to their inulin content, Jerusalem artichokes have a low glycemic index, making them a good option for people managing blood sugar levels, including those with diabetes.

4. High in Potassium: They are an excellent source of potassium, which is essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure, nerve function, and muscle contractions.

5. Rich in Iron: Jerusalem artichokes provide a good amount of iron, which is crucial for red blood cell production and preventing anemia.

6. Boosts Immune System: The high levels of antioxidants, vitamins (like vitamin C), and minerals in Jerusalem artichokes help strengthen the immune system.

7. Supports Weight Management: The fiber content helps in making you feel full longer, which can aid in weight management by reducing overall calorie intake.

8. Good for Heart Health: Their fiber and potassium content contribute to heart health by helping to lower cholesterol levels and maintain proper cardiovascular function.

9. Nutrient-Dense: Jerusalem artichokes are packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin B1 (thiamine), phosphorus, and copper, which are vital for various bodily functions including energy production and maintaining healthy bones.

10. Versatile in Cooking: They can be eaten raw or cooked and are used in a variety of dishes, making it easy to incorporate them into your diet. Their nutty and slightly sweet flavor adds a unique taste to salads, soups, and side dishes.

Overall, Jerusalem artichokes are a highly nutritious vegetable that can benefit overall health when included as part of a balanced diet.

Here's a simple and delicious recipe for roasting Jerusalem artichokes:

Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes with Garlic and Herbs

Ingredients:
- 1 pound (about 450 grams) Jerusalem artichokes, scrubbed clean
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Artichokes: Cut the Jerusalem artichokes into 1/2-inch thick slices or wedges. If the artichokes are small, you can halve them instead.

3. Season the Artichokes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced Jerusalem artichokes with the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned artichokes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not too crowded, so they roast evenly.

5. Roast: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the artichokes are golden brown and tender. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

6. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the artichokes from the oven. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side if desired.

Tips:
- Scrubbing: Be sure to scrub the Jerusalem artichokes well to remove any dirt, as their skin is often knobby and can trap soil.
- Peeling: Peeling is optional; the skin is edible and adds a nice texture.
- Flavor Variations: You can experiment with different herbs and spices, such as adding smoked paprika for a smoky flavor or a dash of balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist.

This roasted Jerusalem artichoke recipe makes a perfect side dish for any meal and showcases the unique, nutty flavor of this nutritious vegetable.

My green Celery Juice

My green Celery Juice
This morning I decided to make a green celery juice. So I went out in the garden and picked some beautiful celery.  It's so amazing to be able to pick fresh stuff right outside the window, in the little garden we have turned into a vegetable and herb paradise.  We have so many goodies in the garden at the moment. We have had just perfect weather for growing vegetables this spring and summer in Victoria, Australia. 

I then checked out what else I had and I found some organic spinach in the fridge, some coconut water and I found one lime in the fruit bowl. 

So this is what I ended up putting in the juicer:
Celery, spinach, lime, green golden delicious apples, 2 drops of lime essential oils from Young Living and a splash of coconut water.

It was absolutely beautiful! So, now it will be green celery juice, with little variations, for the next week. Tomorrow I might try putting some fresh ginger in its as I love this and I bought it the other day.

Don't ask me me how much I put in of each. I am an "intuitive" chef and I never or very rarely tend to measure anything. 😂🤩
I suggest, just trust your gut instinct!

Delicious Caramel Slice

Delicious Caramel Slice
I made my favourite nut free caramel slice for the last Wellness Retreat I held and the participants loved it!! 
It’s very sweet but has no white sugar so it’s a healthier alternative.

The second time I made it I added some Peppermint oil which I really loved but that is an option of course. If you are going to add the Essential Oil make sure you use the Young Living’s peppermint as this is a pure, therapeutic grade oil and it’s a culinary oil.

The Base is made up out 1 1/2 cups of plain activated buckwheat and 15 medjool dates. Just combine the who ingredients in a food processor. Keep mixing it until it’s evenly combined and so it’s sticking together when pressed. Then I press it into a lined 15 x 25cm tin and put it in the freezer for an hour or so.

After that I prepared the Caramel Layer which contains of 30 medjool dates, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 60ml water ( 1/4 cup water), 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder and a pinch of salt. I combine all these ingredients in a food processor and keep blending until it’s creamy and smooth. I then take the base out of the freezer and put this caramel layer on top and then return it to the freezer for doubt 4 hours.
 
I then prepare the Chocolate layer which contains of 100grams of cacao butter, 1/2 cup cacao powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup and 4 table spoons of coconut oil. I melt it over a double boiler and which is well.

Then I take out the tin from the freezer and put the chocolate layer and return to the freezer for about 30 minutes. If you want to add a few drops of Peppermint oil – do it just before you pour it on.

I return it from the freezer 30 minutes before slicing to allow the chocolate topping to thaw a bit. I slice it with a hot, sharp knife.

It's Delicious! Enjoy!

I help people create wellness, abundance and to find their soul purpose

 
For years, I felt like I was pushed to my limits, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. I believed that I was really all alone in my struggles and felt quite isolated.
The physical and emotional pain I experience was at times overwhelming.

Even thought I was living a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy food, exercising and doing meditation.  I was still lacking in energy and experienced pain. I really believed that I was doing everything to improve my situation. And one day that all changed when I was introduced to some products.
To be honest, I had used similar products before, so naturally I was very sceptical, but given that the person who introduced me to these was also working in the wellness field, just like myself - I took a leap of faith and decided to give them a go, after all what did I have to lose!

Since then my life has transformed, not on just a physical level, but also a mental, emotional and spiritual level. I get emotional just thinking about it all now and feel so incredibly blessed and grateful for this gift that was presented to me.
Now, I am living a life full of abundant wellness, I love my soul purpose and I am able to create abundance in life. 

I am now on a mission to create more empowered well-beings in the world and to share with you my learnings!

I welcome you to join our group of empowered well-beings and learn how you can also find freedom and ultimate wellness, just as I have,  with the knowledge and information we share amongst our exclusive and loving community.
