🌿 Monday Nourishment 🌿

There’s something about Mondays that invites us to begin again.

Today in the kitchen I was thinking about a few things at once…
Women’s History Month.
Meatless Monday.
And the incredible strength of the women walking the path of recovery.

So lunch became a simple act of nourishment.

A creamy broccoli cheddar soup, a big fresh salad, and slices of the sourdough I baked yesterday. And somehow the broccoli ended up in the shape of a heart, which honestly felt just about right. 💚

Because nourishment isn’t just about food.
It’s about care.
It’s about starting fresh.
It’s about believing that small daily choices matter.

Here at Haven we’re also getting excited for the First Steps 5K, supporting women in recovery. Every step forward — in the kitchen, on the path, or in life — deserves to be celebrated.

Today’s reminder:
Feed yourself well.
Encourage another woman.
Take the next step.

Happy Meatless Monday from my kitchen to yours.

- Chef Colleen Palumbo

🥦 Stirring soup, baking bread, and cheering women on, one delicious Monday at a time.

The work learned here only matters if it’s carried forward.
Recovery is something women must keep choosing long after they leave our care.

Every few minutes in the U.S., someone dies from drugs or alcohol, deaths that are largely preventable with treatment and support. The cost of addiction isn’t just death. It’s lost custody, broken trust, declining health, legal consequences, and lives that slowly unravel.

At Haven, recovery is built through evidence-based care: therapy, group work, peer support, structure, and accountability. But we’re also clear with our clients, this work does not end when they leave us.

Sustained recovery requires continued engagement: meetings, therapy, community, and daily practices that support stability and growth.

The tools are learned here, but they must be used long after discharge.

Tonight was set to be our first Recovery Yoga, but with current weather and road conditions, we’re postponing for safety.

Stay in, get cozy, and enjoy a quiet evening indoors. We’ll begin next Monday, February 9th, from 6–7:00 PM

We really look forward to starting this together then!

Recovery often asks us to subtract, not add.

Most of us come in full,
full of fear,
full of habits that once helped us cope,
full of ideas about how things should go.

Over time, recovery gently asks us to loosen our grip.
To stop filling every quiet moment.
To let some space exist.
That space can feel scary. Empty even.

But it’s often the first place God can meet us.

Not because we’ve done it right,
but because there’s finally room.
