Roasted Vegetables for the Picky Eater

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:27:20 +0000

Roasted vegetables are often a favorite with picky eaters because of the sweetness released during cooking. Winter vegetables such as rutabagas, beets, parsnips, carrots, fennel, onions, garlic, potatoes along with many others can make a delicious and healthy side dish, the perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. After cutting vegetables into wedges or “French Fry” sized shapes, coat with a combination of olive oil and melted butter. I use ghee, which does not contain casein. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a cookie sheet spreading out the vegetables so they do not touch. Roast until richly brown on the underside and then turn over. Total roasting time can take between 10-60 minutes depending on the size and type of vegetable. If browning occurs too quickly, lower temperature to 400 degrees. Serve hot or room temperature.

Use leftover vegetables, by blending with homemade chicken stock for a quick and tasty meal.

You might as well laugh

Dr. Hicks and I took a family trip to Mexico for Thanksgiving along with a large group of friends. We spend loads of time laughing, but the happiest traveller was Joey. Five sessions of dolphin therapy, a huge pool, a great beach and a group of people who felt nothing but love for him. One day, while returning from the pool, Joey couldn’t wait to get into our 2 bedroom unit to take off his wet swim suit. He’s great at following certain rules and put up no argument when I said, “Go to your room and close the door before you take off your suit.” He did so perfectly. After a couple of minutes I thought he might be hungry. I gathered a snack and opened the door to his room. To my horror, there was the cleaning lady dutifully making his bed. She had been in there the whole time and inconsequential to Joey, who was simply following mom’s orders. I quickly dressed Joey and removed him to allow the lady to complete her job. I am quite sure I’m not the only one still telling this story.

Is your doctor listening to you?

As I answer the phones each day, I am able to hear many personal stories from our patients of their previous experiences with doctors. Over and over I hear, “my doctor doesn’t listen,” or “they just gave me a prescription without any idea of what was wrong”, and the most popular, “all of these drugs are making me sick.” I enjoyed this article because it gives the perspective of someone who used to think Holistic meant granola muchin’ hippies, but now understands that it is simply about looking at the WHOLE body. (Although we have been known to munch granola.)
