Sounds like some dishes I make but had not thought of the artichoke part: i'll have to consider that after I look up the nutritional value for DH

I don't know what is off limits, but they sure are good.

He has to eat as close to zero fat as he can; saturated fats are his biggest problem. Even with meds and watching his diet it tends to run a little high most of the time. Docs have all said it is a genetic flaw. All his brothers and sisters have the same probem; dad died at 52 of third heart attack, one of his sisiters died at 48 of a massive one. He can eat one time what would be extremely good for most people and it throws his levels way out of whack!

There is no sat fat in artichokes.
