I’ve been so busy lately that eating has been a bit of an afterthought. I eat so rushed I feel I don’t get enough food or don’t chew it enough to get the digestive process started well.

I’m reminding myself and anyone else who this helps to chew thoroughly and practice actually feeling grateful for my food.

Call it prayer. Call it mindfulness. Call it gratitude.

It’s connecting to the life force. It’s slowing down. It’s cultivating positive feelings.

Amen.

Recipe is in last post- plus I cracked two eggs on top, covered the pan and cooked over low heat for 5 minutes to cook eggs .

Lebanese Cabbage with Mint and Pumpkin Seeds

Serves 2-3
2 teaspoon EVOO
1 leek
1/4 onion
1/4 green cabbage
1 teaspoon Lebanese 7 Spice (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 ish mint leaves
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

Cut away the dark green park of the leek and discard everything but the white and light green (or save for stalk). Slice leek and wash in a bowl of water to remove sand or dirt hiding in the leek layers.

Slice the cabbage and wash in that same bowl of water.

Mince onion.

Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion and leak and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until onions are translucent. Turn down heat if leaks are burning.

Add cabbage, salt and Lebanese 7 Spice if using. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes to soften cabbage. I like yo leave some crunch.

Rinse mint leaves, chop and add in at the very end. Turn off heat. Top with pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and serve.

Great with a fried egg on top, mixed with a bowl of farro or brown rice and tofu, or as a side to chicken or fish. Enjoy!

Feel free to “save” this recipe to make later!

When I eat I am so grateful for the fuel i provide my body. I give every cell in my body energy to thrive so that I can show up in the world and do things i want to do.

Good step in the right direction from a company that has a lot of work to do to be inclusive.

Bianca is a young ballerina who appears in a short film that's streaming on Disney+. But some fans aren't thrilled that her struggle with body image drives the two-minute plotline.

Cooking can be a fun, spiritual, physical, embodied act.

It also helps you radically take more control of your health.

The photo is from a conference I’ve been at the last 3 days about the important role of teaching people to cook in health care.

For me, learning to cook helped me heal a negative and disordered relationship to food and transform it into a creative, spiritual relationship with food.

With a cooking class, you’re in great company. It’s not just you, your kitchen, and your fatigue after a long day when you’re trying to get dinner on the table.

I have a few Sunday spots open for 1:1 cooking lessons either over zoom or in person if you’re in the Boston area.

Let me know if you’d like one of those spots or have questions about how a cooking class with me might be beneficial to you! 🙂
