Telling tales of going meat-free? This little piggie went to market to pig out (ahem) on veggies just once this week. Going for veggies over meat is better for your body and loads better for the planet. Livestock like cows emit harmful greenhouse gases into the environment – so having a meat-free meal just once a week for a year means you’ll save 340 lbs of CO2 from wafting into our environment. Now run (wee wee wee) all the way home to whip up this yummy steamed artichoke with lemon butter.
- 1 whole organic artichoke
- 2 Tb organic butter
- 1/2 organic lemon zested
- 1 organic lemon juiced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tb flour water (add 1 tsp flour to 3 Tb water and mix)
Cut off the stem and points of the leaves on the artichoke with scissors. Steam for 10-12 mins until the leaves pull off easily. Set aside to cool. In a sauce pan on medium heat, combine butter, lemon juice, salt, and lemon zest. Simmer and add in flour water to thicken. Simmer for another 1 min. Dip artichoke petals into the lemon butter sauce.
This post is beyond awesome. I am always wondering what to do and what not to do so I will follow some of these tips.

Great topic, I think with you blogs should have chats on as blogs are giving a view of the writer & after getting comments from others, it can get a even better version of the belief she has talked.
Thanks for the post. I almost passed your blog up in Bing but now I’m glad I decided to stop and got to browse through it. I’m definitely a little better informed now. I know quite a few people that will want to check it out. They’ll for sure enjoy the heck out of what I just read too. LOL. –Karl
Great post and website! I have bookmarked it and will check back ofter. I also linked you to my site.
You might have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to assist, but not knowing how or where, is something lots of us are going through.
