It’s been a long year. Already.

The word “Surrender” came to me in November or December (time is a blur) during meditation.
I knew it was my word for 2021.

Stop. Breathe. Surrender.
Has become a quiet prayer, a mantra.
I find myself reciting daily as this month unfolded.

Today’s surrender :
The floors can wait.
The calls can be made later.
Stopping.
Breathing. (Creating)
Surrendering.
To the craving of a cozy and comforting bowl of Thai Noodle Soup.

1 Large red bell pepper, chopped

4 cups of vegetable stock
2 cups of water
1 can (13.5 ounces) Lite Coconut Milk
1/2 package of Thai Kitchen Stir-Fry Rice noodles (or any rice noodles)
1 tablespoon vegan fish sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon (raw) almond butter
Baby spinach

Dinner prep.
Or little ways to make the ordinary extraordinary...the mundane magical.
Prosecco on a Wednesday.
Music playing.
Fire burning with a little sage in it.
Jasmine rice simmering away.
These are a few of my favorite things.

This soup is the perfect union of lentils, aromatics, spices and Love.
Lots of love.
Food is love and love fuels life.
And this soup embodies both love and life.

Post massage serenity...and a little coconut matcha latte...just because.

As my wonderful massage therapist said to me...your body has served you well and now it needs to be cared for...and I couldn’t agree more.

Things I like not necessarily in any particular order :
Cats. Summer Deck Weather.
Having someone else make my americano.
And cookbooks.
I love cookbooks. For inspiration.
I literally bought the Whole Foods Cookbook for one recipe and one recipe only...the Ethiopian Lentils.
The unexpected gift...a truly lovely book filled with so much culinary inspiration!

While most people are all excited about the Super Bowl I’m super excited about the meals I’m planning for the week.
Pulled out a favorite cookbook and settled on the Our Favorite Veggie Burgers and Soul-Soothing African Peanut Stew for two of our meals this week.
