Don’t ask why I had take this picture. I guess a stroke of inspiration.
It is summer and I will be logging out of this page for the summer. Will do some traveling and soul searching to see what’s next and how I can provide some support on here or not. It will be a blank page. Go have some fun, make some amazing memories and I will check back in here in September.
Much love to all of you ✨💛💛

The power of cacao. I started drinking cacao in January. My friend introduced me to it. We had a ceremony at my house and I want to share this amazing plant medicine with all of you. What it teaches me and how it supports me. Follow along. I will share more :) (I am using since the potency is phenomenal and the caffeine content minimal🤗)

Frittata time. Really amazing use of leftover veggies. Added some breakfast sausage. I think 8 eggs. Some Biologe feta cheese. Boom. Breakfast, lunch and or dinner done. What do you think?

As promised. Persimmon salad. You see you use the persimmons like tomatoes. Super easy, super delicious. 🙃✨

Persimmon. It’s like a sunrise or sunset. When we take a moment an appreciate what Mother Nature offers us, we can be just grateful, no?
Persimmon is part of the tomato family. Shocker I now. Tomatoes are a fruit FYI. Persimmons are the national fruit of Japan. What I read that American Indians have used persimmons as well. Which means they grow here in the US. That would be more towards California. NY is too cold. They are a good source of potassium, phosphorous, and vitamin C. My favorite kind are Fuyu persimmons. They are harder and therefore less sweet. I will share a nice salad in the next post. Happy Tuesday. ✨

If we can appreciate the moment and everything it brings no matter what, we have achieved balance. It is a point of perspective always. Happy Monday sending love and light into the world and receiving it.

Let’s talk food. What is food to you? For me it is many things. As you can see in this pic. Food is damn beautiful. It is magic, take the time to find it. Most of all it is nourishment. We eat to nourish our bodies. We eat to inspire our tastebuds. We eat for energy. We eat for connection. We eat for soothing. We eat for pleasure. We eat to make ourselves wrong. We eat out of boredom. We eat to forget. We eat just because we can. We eat because we are hungry. And more. What I teach is awareness why we eat at a certain moment. Pay attention. Food can be sacred. Why do you eat?

Oxtail is such a simple way to make an effing amazing soup. It really doesn’t need much. I usually wind it. This one I just added water onion, carrots, sweet potato, salt. Some coconut aminos, fish sauce. And voila. I cooked it in my so simple. Cooking is simple. The importance are the ingredients, which should always be food from this earth.

Let’s talk breakfast. I used to not eat breakfast until I learned I have an issue with my blood-sugar due to chronic Lyme. I would wait until 10-11 am to eat. Which ended up making me more prone to Blood-sugar crashes. And I started eating savory foods in the morning. I am lucky to do really well with eggs and I usually have some leftover veggies from the night before. So it’s simple for me. There is no one size fits all when it come to eating well. So it is a learning process and requires paying attention to oneself. What have you learned from listening to your body and fueling it at the times, which work for you?

Perfect winter salad for a snowy day. Arugula, shaved fennel and pomegranate. Get your veggies when you can 🙃❄️☃️
