What could be better for this season than homemade bitters? I used a recipe from @urbanmoonshine as a base and extracted all those digestive stimulating and liver toning properties from herbs like gentian, fennel seed, dandelion and artichoke leaf in apple cider vinegar. Plan on having a teaspoon in water before and after heavy meals or as needed to help awaken digestive fire during this dry ultra vata season!

I usually have no idea what I am cooking until I start. Baby zucchini and squash, romanesco and green beans screamed green curry so this happened. Making your own curry paste in super simple, here I used: • 2 inch chunk ginger •1 green chili 🌶️ • Handful fresh cilantro • Zest of 2 limes • Juice of one lime • 1 tablespoon fish sauce • 2 teaspoons silan @makegoodfoods I find it easiest to blend with a bit of coconut milk. Then simply prep veg and protein **Layering flavors and depth and body, so be sure to season these as well. Scallions, coriander seed and cumin seed went into the squash, turmeric and black pepper seasoned the chicken and sesame oil for the green beans. Lastly, I added a handful of fresh basil leaves just before serving. Trust your instincts and enjoy the process ❤️

Quinoa, green beans, charred broccolini and tahini Plant based, power Loaded with fiber, calcium and iron How you cook your veggies is the key to how they taste Choose fresh local and organic. I Use high heat to influence the flavors and bring out different textures. Today, the beans went into a piping hot pan, no salt, no oil Mixed in fresh peas (sweetness) lemon zest (aromatic) spearmint, basil, parsley and cilantro (seasoning) lemon juice and oil oil. A little salt and pepper to finish! Simply divine! And whipped tahini ties it all together @makegoodfoods

Happy new year! I am committed to sharing delicious inspiring creations that are simple to make. What you see here is a slice of sourdough toast with a shmear of ricotta and smoked butternut squash. The magic is the squash. Peel, cube and place in a Pyrex with salt, pepper, sage and olive oil. Cover with foil and bake until soft in a 400 degree oven (40 minutes), remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile, place some wood chips and one piece of charcoal in a grill. Place the cooked squash on a plate lined with foil and allow the sweet flesh to take on a smoky flavor by leaving it in a covered grill for about an hour. I had some extra sage so I heated some pecan pieces with sage and cayenne pepper and a little brown sugar. As the nuts toast add a bit of water to hell the caramelize. It’s not every day I smoke things, ok that sounded funny. So I made extra and ate in today on a bed of quinoa cooked in bone broth and a touch of sesame oil. #veggiequeen #eatyourveggies #butternutsquash #smoked

Start your day green! Eating plenty of dark leafy vegetables keeps the gut nourished, adding fiber, calcium and iron to your body. Not only are these greens essential for gut health and protective for the liver which is taxed with dealing with the abundance of toxins for our internal and external environments, but they taste delicious when you know how to cook them. What you see in this photo is rainbow #chard To prepare I simply rinse well and use a knife to separate the stems from the leaves. The stems are full of nutrients and flavor and much less fibrous than those of kale for example. I chop them small and treat them as if they were celery, today I sautéed the stems in olive oil with #caraway seed, ground #turmeric and some freshly ground black pepper, once the stems have softer red a bit, I add in the chopped leaves and cook for another couple of minutes. I like this #cookingmerhjd because it pulls the excess water outbid the veg so flavor can concentrate. This can be delicious on its own as a #sidedish over #wholegrains as a base for a beautiful filet of grilled fish, as a topping for a bowl of homemade hummus or just add eggs and you have made yourself a Yummy #frittata

Never thought of myself as artistic, actually I can sit in front of a blank canvas and stare it down afraid to make a mess, stain the paper, but nothing gives me greater joy than standing in the kitchen with a few simple ingredients, a tray of fresh mushrooms, an outline “pasta with mushrooms and sage” and watching the alchemy begin. It becomes a dance of smells and textures and layers. I find myself slicing the shrooms in no real direction at all but they fall into a silky layer of butter in the pan, gently turning golden at the edges, I cut them so they nestle into the capellini just right, I can’t tell you how many minutes to cook them for but I can tell you to stop when there is an even layer in the pan and this will help each mushroom get crisp and golden rather than ending up with a puddle of mushroom slop. I slow down, breathe and gently stir, folding in the most simple spices, sea salt and freshly ground pepper as the pan calls for them. It is fluid, in the moment, energy transforming, ingredients becoming food. Today, listening to @timferriss interview @marcocanora Marco talked about his passion for teaching people to cook their own food. So simple and so essential, interact with the energy that fuels you, offer your family love and sustenance in each bite. I love when my husband comes to the kitchen and sits on the counter to talk with me or my girls are drawn to the kitchen by the aroma. Tasting straight from the pan and grabbing a spoon to stir while talking, that’s quality time. Our family imports some of our most favorite ingredients to Mexico and we called our brand @makegoodfoods because that is what we want you to do. Make good food. Too often we eat with our heads and ideas, guilty and shameful. We all need to eat, we all feel best when we are nourished and the love of nurturing another with a delicious plate of food is the ultimate labor of love. From my Shabbat dinner to you wherever you are, wishing you a peaceful and cozy evening. And, know that I am always happy to share my experience and passion to help you make good food. ❤️

Fresh herbs are a great ally in the kitchen, loaded with aromas and flavor, they can also aid in digestion. Today I made my eggs in homemade pesto and enjoyed every last bite with a garden salad spiked with kalamata olives for extra luscious deliciousness. To make pesto: Toast a small handful of nuts in a pan until fragrant (almonds, walnuts or pine nuts) Place in a food processor with a small garlic clove, a tablespoon or two of Parmesan cheese and pulse until it resembles crumbs. Add in a nice large bunch of fresh basil leaves, a pinch of salt and blend while drizzling a steady stream of olive oil into the mix. Place in a glass container, cover with olive oil to prevent air from getting in and close with a tight fitting lid. Serve on eggs, salads, grilled salmon, or whatever you desire.

Sauté and slowly wilt in greens (I add the most fibrous green first and the softest last so they don’t overcook) Today I used Mix of kale, chard, spinach and dandelion greens and a handful of cilantro stems. I am a nose-to-tail kind of girl when it comes to vegetables. Cool and blend with one tomato -and I used a couple spoonfuls of homemade cashew yogurt. For the salmon, just mix one teaspoon of each of the following spices: coriander, ginger, cumin, chili powder and garam masala. Season salmon with sea salt, heat broiler, rub salmon with spices and broil for 18-20 minutes. Serve over those delicious warmed greens and add a nice squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Veggies are essential for gut and hormone health. Dark leafy greens are full of fiber and prebiotics, they help our liver to clear out all the yucky stuff that finds it way inside of us. Making veggies taste good is easy and can be challenging for people to believe after a childhood of mushy soft tasteless veg memories. I love to roast broccolini at a high temperature with olive oil, salt and pepper. Simply remove from the heat and season with fresh lemon zest and red chili flakes.

Chia pudding Love this recipe from @dr.avivaromm I think the key is the creamy homemade cashew milk. I’ve made chia pudding a number of times with almond milk, coconut milk and haven’t loved it. Cashews are incredibly neutral in flavor and they get super creamy. Here I soak my cashews for at least an hour, simplest to soak overnight. Toss the soaking water and blend cashews with 4 cups water. Strain through a nut milk bag. Return milk to blender with one pitted date, one teaspoon vanilla extract a pinch of sea salt and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Measure 1 cup of chia seeds and place in a bowl, add in sweetened milk and stir with a fork so it doesn’t clump periodically for 20 minutes or so. Cover and refrigerate. Eat as breakfast, snack or dessert! I like to serve mine with toasted coconut, cacao nibs and fresh berries.

I have been craving spanakopita so I fried onions with fennel seed and caraway, added in loads of greens… wilted purple and Dino kale, wild dandelion and Swiss chard. Then added fresh parsley, dill and spearmint for more flavor. Then on my way to buy phyllo dough, I thought, what if use sweet potato instead, so here is today’s experiment. Sweet potato slices, layer with those rich greens, Greek feta and a bit of yogurt to tie it all together. A layer of sweet potato over the top, brush with oil and bake until golden.

Swiss chard stuffed with rice, walnuts and herbs, a Rosh Hashana must in our family. I like to use Arborio rice for the filling, just fried up some shallots with the rice and walnuts, ground to a crumb, then added plenty of fresh dill, parsley, cilantro and spearmint. Blanched the chard after removing the fibrous thick stem, (that was the veg in my omelette) for seconds until soft enough to roll, then laid on a bed of orange slices and onion and cooked in lime juice, tamarind and date syrup.

She invited me to sit in a lovely greenhouse at the back of the store and flip through botanical medicine for women and the journey started. I enrolled in #herbalmedicineforwomen and have been weaving together an understanding of women’s health and my own in a whole new way. Finally, this integrative approach that listens and validates the experiences of women.

What could be better for this season than homemade bitters? I used a recipe from @urbanmoonshine as a base and extracted all those digestive stimulating and liver toning properties from herbs like gentian, fennel seed, dandelion and artichoke leaf in apple cider vinegar.

I usually have no idea what I am cooking until I start. Baby zucchini and squash, romanesco and green beans screamed green curry so this happened. Making your own curry paste in super simple, here I used: • 2 inch chunk ginger •1 green chili 🌶️ • Handful fresh cilantro • Zest of 2 limes • Juice of one lime • 1 tablespoon fish sauce • 2 teaspoons silan @makegoodfoods I find it easiest to blend with a bit of coconut milk. Then simply prep veg and protein **Layering flavors and depth and body, so be sure to season these as well. Scallions, coriander seed and cumin seed went into the squash, turmeric and black pepper seasoned the chicken and sesame oil for the green beans. Lastly, I added a handful of fresh basil leaves just before serving. Trust your instincts and enjoy the process ❤️

Hello friends! It has been a long while since e I posted anything. Here’s a little something simple to change things up… make your rice green Ingredients: 1 cup basmati rice Scant 2 cups water 1 garlic clove 1 bunch cilantro Salt, pepper, olive oil To make: Add cilantro, water, salt and pepper to a blender and blend well. Meanwhile, heat a pan, add a bit of oil, toast rice and whole garlic clove for 1-2 minutes. Pour in blended cilantro water and cover. Bring to a boil, reduce flame to low and wait patiently. Just before you turn off the rice use a fork to gently fluff taking care not to make the rice mushy. Tadaaa… green rice!

Happy new year! I am committed to sharing delicious inspiring creations that are simple to make. What you see here is a slice of sourdough toast with a shmear of ricotta and smoked butternut squash. The magic is the squash. Peel, cube and place in a Pyrex with salt, pepper, sage and olive oil. Cover with foil and bake until soft in a 400 degree oven (40 minutes), remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile, place some wood chips and one piece of charcoal in a grill. Place the cooked squash on a plate lined with foil and allow the sweet flesh to take on a smoky flavor by leaving it in a covered grill for about an hour. I had some extra sage so I heated some pecan pieces with sage and cayenne pepper and a little brown sugar. As the nuts toast add a bit of water to hell the caramelize. It’s not every day I smoke things, ok that sounded funny. So I made extra and ate in today on a bed of quinoa cooked in bone broth and a touch of sesame oil. #veggiequeen #eatyourveggies #butternutsquash #smoked

Start your day green! Eating plenty of dark leafy vegetables keeps the gut nourished, adding fiber, calcium and iron to your body. Not only are these greens essential for gut health and protective for the liver which is taxed with dealing with the abundance of toxins for our internal and external environments, but they taste delicious when you know how to cook them. What you see in this photo is rainbow #chard To prepare I simply rinse well and use a knife to separate the stems from the leaves. The stems are full of nutrients and flavor and much less fibrous than those of kale for example. I chop them small and treat them as if they were celery, today I sautéed the stems in olive oil with #caraway seed, ground #turmeric and some freshly ground black pepper, once the stems have softer red a bit, I add in the chopped leaves and cook for another couple of minutes. I like this #cookingmerhjd because it pulls the excess water outbid the veg so flavor can concentrate. This can be delicious on its own as a #sidedish over #wholegrains as a base for a beautiful filet of grilled fish, as a topping for a bowl of homemade hummus or just add eggs and you have made yourself a Yummy #frittata

Place the rest of the toasted seeds, hemp hearts, puro dátil and vanilla in a bowl and mix with wet hands. 6. Scoop in the food processor mix and press using wet hands into an parchment lined Pyrex. Refrigerate for an hour. 7. Cut into squares and keep in freezer to enjoy as a delicious and nutrient dense snack.

Never thought of myself as artistic, actually I can sit in front of a blank canvas and stare it down afraid to make a mess, stain the paper, but nothing gives me greater joy than standing in the kitchen with a few simple ingredients, a tray of fresh mushrooms, an outline “pasta with mushrooms and sage” and watching the alchemy begin. It becomes a dance of smells and textures and layers. I find myself slicing the shrooms in no real direction at all but they fall into a silky layer of butter in the pan, gently turning golden at the edges, I cut them so they nestle into the capellini just right, I can’t tell you how many minutes to cook them for but I can tell you to stop when there is an even layer in the pan and this will help each mushroom get crisp and golden rather than ending up with a puddle of mushroom slop. I slow down, breathe and gently stir, folding in the most simple spices, sea salt and freshly ground pepper as the pan calls for them. It is fluid, in the moment, energy transforming, ingredients becoming food. Today, listening to @timferriss interview @marcocanora Marco talked about his passion for teaching people to cook their own food. So simple and so essential, interact with the energy that fuels you, offer your family love and sustenance in each bite. I love when my husband comes to the kitchen and sits on the counter to talk with me or my girls are drawn to the kitchen by the aroma. Tasting straight from the pan and grabbing a spoon to stir while talking, that’s quality time. Our family imports some of our most favorite ingredients to Mexico and we called our brand @makegoodfoods because that is what we want you to do. Make good food. Too often we eat with our heads and ideas, guilty and shameful. We all need to eat, we all feel best when we are nourished and the love of nurturing another with a delicious plate of food is the ultimate labor of love. From my Shabbat dinner to you wherever you are, wishing you a peaceful and cozy evening. And, know that I am always happy to share my experience and passion to help you make good food. ❤️

Fresh herbs are a great ally in the kitchen, loaded with aromas and flavor, they can also aid in digestion. Today I made my eggs in homemade pesto and enjoyed every last bite with a garden salad spiked with kalamata olives for extra luscious deliciousness. To make pesto: Toast a small handful of nuts in a pan until fragrant (almonds, walnuts or pine nuts) Place in a food processor with a small garlic clove, a tablespoon or two of Parmesan cheese and pulse until it resembles crumbs. Add in a nice large bunch of fresh basil leaves, a pinch of salt and blend while drizzling a steady stream of olive oil into the mix. Place in a glass container, cover with olive oil to prevent air from getting in and close with a tight fitting lid. Serve on eggs, salads, grilled salmon, or whatever you desire.

Sauté and slowly wilt in greens (I add the most fibrous green first and the softest last so they don’t overcook) Today I used Mix of kale, chard, spinach and dandelion greens and a handful of cilantro stems. I am a nose-to-tail kind of girl when it comes to vegetables. Cool and blend with one tomato -and I used a couple spoonfuls of homemade cashew yogurt. For the salmon, just mix one teaspoon of each of the following spices: coriander, ginger, cumin, chili powder and garam masala. Season salmon with sea salt, heat broiler, rub salmon with spices and broil for 18-20 minutes. Serve over those delicious warmed greens and add a nice squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Veggies are essential for gut and hormone health. Dark leafy greens are full of fiber and prebiotics, they help our liver to clear out all the yucky stuff that finds it way inside of us. Making veggies taste good is easy and can be challenging for people to believe after a childhood of mushy soft tasteless veg memories. I love to roast broccolini at a high temperature with olive oil, salt and pepper. Simply remove from the heat and season with fresh lemon zest and red chili flakes.

Chia pudding Love this recipe from @dr.avivaromm I think the key is the creamy homemade cashew milk. I’ve made chia pudding a number of times with almond milk, coconut milk and haven’t loved it. Cashews are incredibly neutral in flavor and they get super creamy. Here I soak my cashews for at least an hour, simplest to soak overnight. Toss the soaking water and blend cashews with 4 cups water. Strain through a nut milk bag. Return milk to blender with one pitted date, one teaspoon vanilla extract a pinch of sea salt and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Measure 1 cup of chia seeds and place in a bowl, add in sweetened milk and stir with a fork so it doesn’t clump periodically for 20 minutes or so. Cover and refrigerate. Eat as breakfast, snack or dessert! I like to serve mine with toasted coconut, cacao nibs and fresh berries.

I have been craving spanakopita so I fried onions with fennel seed and caraway, added in loads of greens… wilted purple and Dino kale, wild dandelion and Swiss chard. Then added fresh parsley, dill and spearmint for more flavor. Then on my way to buy phyllo dough, I thought, what if use sweet potato instead, so here is today’s experiment. Sweet potato slices, layer with those rich greens, Greek feta and a bit of yogurt to tie it all together. A layer of sweet potato over the top, brush with oil and bake until golden.

Swiss chard stuffed with rice, walnuts and herbs, a Rosh Hashana must in our family. I like to use Arborio rice for the filling, just fried up some shallots with the rice and walnuts, ground to a crumb, then added plenty of fresh dill, parsley, cilantro and spearmint. Blanched the chard after removing the fibrous thick stem, (that was the veg in my omelette) for seconds until soft enough to roll, then laid on a bed of orange slices and onion and cooked in lime juice, tamarind and date syrup.

She invited me to sit in a lovely greenhouse at the back of the store and flip through botanical medicine for women and the journey started. I enrolled in #herbalmedicineforwomen and have been weaving together an understanding of women’s health and my own in a whole new way.

What could be better for this season than homemade bitters? I used a recipe from @urbanmoonshine as a base and extracted all those digestive stimulating and liver toning properties from herbs like gentian, fennel seed, dandelion and artichoke leaf in apple cider vinegar. Plan on having a teaspoon in water before and after heavy meals or as needed to help awaken digestive fire during this dry ultra vata season!

I usually have no idea what I am cooking until I start. Baby zucchini and squash, romanesco and green beans screamed green curry so this happened. Making your own curry paste in super simple, here I used: • 2 inch chunk ginger •1 green chili 🌶️ • Handful fresh cilantro • Zest of 2 limes • Juice of one lime • 1 tablespoon fish sauce • 2 teaspoons silan @makegoodfoods I find it easiest to blend with a bit of coconut milk. Then simply prep veg and protein **Layering flavors and depth and body, so be sure to season these as well. Scallions, coriander seed and cumin seed went into the squash, turmeric and black pepper seasoned the chicken and sesame oil for the green beans. Lastly, I added a handful of fresh basil leaves just before serving. Trust your instincts and enjoy the process ❤️

Hello friends! It has been a long while since e I posted anything. Here’s a little something simple to change things up… make your rice green Ingredients: 1 cup basmati rice Scant 2 cups water 1 garlic clove 1 bunch cilantro Salt, pepper, olive oil To make: Add cilantro, water, salt and pepper to a blender and blend well. Meanwhile, heat a pan, add a bit of oil, toast rice and whole garlic clove for 1-2 minutes. Pour in blended cilantro water and cover. Bring to a boil, reduce flame to low and wait patiently. Just before you turn off the rice use a fork to gently fluff taking care not to make the rice mushy. Tadaaa… green rice!

Happy new year! I am committed to sharing delicious inspiring creations that are simple to make. What you see here is a slice of sourdough toast with a shmear of ricotta and smoked butternut squash. The magic is the squash. Peel, cube and place in a Pyrex with salt, pepper, sage and olive oil. Cover with foil and bake until soft in a 400 degree oven (40 minutes), remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile, place some wood chips and one piece of charcoal in a grill. Place the cooked squash on a plate lined with foil and allow the sweet flesh to take on a smoky flavor by leaving it in a covered grill for about an hour. I had some extra sage so I heated some pecan pieces with sage and cayenne pepper and a little brown sugar. As the nuts toast add a bit of water to hell the caramelize. It’s not every day I smoke things, ok that sounded funny. So I made extra and ate in today on a bed of quinoa cooked in bone broth and a touch of sesame oil. #veggiequeen #eatyourveggies #butternutsquash #smoked

Start your day green! Eating plenty of dark leafy vegetables keeps the gut nourished, adding fiber, calcium and iron to your body. Not only are these greens essential for gut health and protective for the liver which is taxed with dealing with the abundance of toxins for our internal and external environments, but they taste delicious when you know how to cook them. What you see in this photo is rainbow #chard To prepare I simply rinse well and use a knife to separate the stems from the leaves. The stems are full of nutrients and flavor and much less fibrous than those of kale for example. I chop them small and treat them as if they were celery, today I sautéed the stems in olive oil with #caraway seed, ground #turmeric and some freshly ground black pepper, once the stems have softer red a bit, I add in the chopped leaves and cook for another couple of minutes. I like this #cookingmerhjd because it pulls the excess water outbid the veg so flavor can concentrate. This can be delicious on its own as a #sidedish over #wholegrains as a base for a beautiful filet of grilled fish, as a topping for a bowl of homemade hummus or just add eggs and you have made yourself a Yummy #frittata

Place the rest of the toasted seeds, hemp hearts, puro dátil and vanilla in a bowl and mix with wet hands. 6. Scoop in the food processor mix and press using wet hands into an parchment lined Pyrex. Refrigerate for an hour. 7. Cut into squares and keep in freezer to enjoy as a delicious and nutrient dense snack.

Never thought of myself as artistic, actually I can sit in front of a blank canvas and stare it down afraid to make a mess, stain the paper, but nothing gives me greater joy than standing in the kitchen with a few simple ingredients, a tray of fresh mushrooms, an outline “pasta with mushrooms and sage” and watching the alchemy begin. It becomes a dance of smells and textures and layers. I find myself slicing the shrooms in no real direction at all but they fall into a silky layer of butter in the pan, gently turning golden at the edges, I cut them so they nestle into the capellini just right, I can’t tell you how many minutes to cook them for but I can tell you to stop when there is an even layer in the pan and this will help each mushroom get crisp and golden rather than ending up with a puddle of mushroom slop. I slow down, breathe and gently stir, folding in the most simple spices, sea salt and freshly ground pepper as the pan calls for them. It is fluid, in the moment, energy transforming, ingredients becoming food. Today, listening to @timferriss interview @marcocanora Marco talked about his passion for teaching people to cook their own food. So simple and so essential, interact with the energy that fuels you, offer your family love and sustenance in each bite. I love when my husband comes to the kitchen and sits on the counter to talk with me or my girls are drawn to the kitchen by the aroma. Tasting straight from the pan and grabbing a spoon to stir while talking, that’s quality time. Our family imports some of our most favorite ingredients to Mexico and we called our brand @makegoodfoods because that is what we want you to do. Make good food. Too often we eat with our heads and ideas, guilty and shameful. We all need to eat, we all feel best when we are nourished and the love of nurturing another with a delicious plate of food is the ultimate labor of love. From my Shabbat dinner to you wherever you are, wishing you a peaceful and cozy evening. And, know that I am always happy to share my experience and passion to help you make good food. ❤️

Fresh herbs are a great ally in the kitchen, loaded with aromas and flavor, they can also aid in digestion. Today I made my eggs in homemade pesto and enjoyed every last bite with a garden salad spiked with kalamata olives for extra luscious deliciousness. To make pesto: Toast a small handful of nuts in a pan until fragrant (almonds, walnuts or pine nuts) Place in a food processor with a small garlic clove, a tablespoon or two of Parmesan cheese and pulse until it resembles crumbs. Add in a nice large bunch of fresh basil leaves, a pinch of salt and blend while drizzling a steady stream of olive oil into the mix. Place in a glass container, cover with olive oil to prevent air from getting in and close with a tight fitting lid. Serve on eggs, salads, grilled salmon, or whatever you desire.

Sauté and slowly wilt in greens (I add the most fibrous green first and the softest last so they don’t overcook) Today I used Mix of kale, chard, spinach and dandelion greens and a handful of cilantro stems. I am a nose-to-tail kind of girl when it comes to vegetables. Cool and blend with one tomato -and I used a couple spoonfuls of homemade cashew yogurt. For the salmon, just mix one teaspoon of each of the following spices: coriander, ginger, cumin, chili powder and garam masala. Season salmon with sea salt, heat broiler, rub salmon with spices and broil for 18-20 minutes. Serve over those delicious warmed greens and add a nice squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Veggies are essential for gut and hormone health. Dark leafy greens are full of fiber and prebiotics, they help our liver to clear out all the yucky stuff that finds it way inside of us. Making veggies taste good is easy and can be challenging for people to believe after a childhood of mushy soft tasteless veg memories. I love to roast broccolini at a high temperature with olive oil, salt and pepper. Simply remove from the heat and season with fresh lemon zest and red chili flakes.

Chia pudding Love this recipe from @dr.avivaromm I think the key is the creamy homemade cashew milk. I’ve made chia pudding a number of times with almond milk, coconut milk and haven’t loved it. Cashews are incredibly neutral in flavor and they get super creamy. Here I soak my cashews for at least an hour, simplest to soak overnight. Toss the soaking water and blend cashews with 4 cups water. Strain through a nut milk bag. Return milk to blender with one pitted date, one teaspoon vanilla extract a pinch of sea salt and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Measure 1 cup of chia seeds and place in a bowl, add in sweetened milk and stir with a fork so it doesn’t clump periodically for 20 minutes or so. Cover and refrigerate. Eat as breakfast, snack or dessert! I like to serve mine with toasted coconut, cacao nibs and fresh berries.

I have been craving spanakopita so I fried onions with fennel seed and caraway, added in loads of greens… wilted purple and Dino kale, wild dandelion and Swiss chard. Then added fresh parsley, dill and spearmint for more flavor. Then on my way to buy phyllo dough, I thought, what if use sweet potato instead, so here is today’s experiment. Sweet potato slices, layer with those rich greens, Greek feta and a bit of yogurt to tie it all together. A layer of sweet potato over the top, brush with oil and bake until golden.

Swiss chard stuffed with rice, walnuts and herbs, a Rosh Hashana must in our family. I like to use Arborio rice for the filling, just fried up some shallots with the rice and walnuts, ground to a crumb, then added plenty of fresh dill, parsley, cilantro and spearmint. Blanched the chard after removing the fibrous thick stem, (that was the veg in my omelette) for seconds until soft enough to roll, then laid on a bed of orange slices and onion and cooked in lime juice, tamarind and date syrup.

She invited me to sit in a lovely greenhouse at the back of the store and flip through botanical medicine for women and the journey started. I enrolled in #herbalmedicineforwomen and have been weaving together an understanding of women’s health and my own in a whole new way. Finally, this integrative approach that listens and validates the experiences of women.
