Yield: 4 to 6 servings

1 cup farro

4 cups winter squash peeled, seeded and chopped

1 onion, chopped

2 ribs celery, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp olive oil

6 oz oyster mushrooms, chopped

2 cups kale, chopped

1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup vegetable broth

½ cup parsley

2 tsp fresh thyme

1 pinch salt and pepper

Topping:

½ cup buttery crackers, crushed

2 Tbsp melted vegan butter or olive oil

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

Roast the squash until tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the farro in water according to the package directions.

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, sauté the onion, celery and garlic in olive oil until the onions are translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and raise the heat to medium, cooking until they have released their liquid, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes more.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, including the roasted squash and cooked farro, and season to taste with parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a prepared casserole dish, cover tightly with foil and bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes. Remove the cover and sprinkle with the topping ingredients, then bake until browned, about 5 minutes.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3 Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters. Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
