This chia seed pudding is inspired by the Vedic Latte at Hugo’s, one of our favorite breakfast spots in West Hollywood. The turmeric, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper make this a bold and savory variation of simple chia seed pudding that’s perfect for people looking for a delicious, nutrient-dense meal with very little prep.
Cultivating Wellness
It’s easy to feel that our world is falling apart at the seams. When was the last time you read or turned on the news and found an uplifting story? It’s been a while. Spreading negativity congregates eyeballs, but it doesn’t cultivate wellness in any aspect of life — public or private.
Simple Beet Soup a.k.a. Borscht
I don’t know about you, but beet soup (also called borscht) isn’t the most appealing sounding meal. The name conjures an image of an old Russian grandmother trying to use a bumper-crop of beets. What I didn’t realize is that Borscht is an amazingly flavorful, nourishing, and delicious soup that’s easy to make and freezes like a dream.
A Reflection on Emotional Nourishment
Late last summer, in a post called Emotional Nourishment, I wrote about a 150 day personal challenge I undertook which included daily meditation, yoga, and abstinence from alcohol. My hope was that the emotional nourishment challenge would help improve my awareness of and ability to handle stressful times. The 150 days ended on December, 31 2017 and now that it’s well into the next year, it’s time to discuss and reflect upon that experience.
Green Apple Smoothie
This neon green apple smoothie is tart, sweet, and a little spicy. It’s quickly become my new favorite, I think you’ll enjoy it too.
Asian Buffalo Cauliflower
I’ve been drooling over various photos of buffalo cauliflower on Instagram for a while now, but I didn’t want to just rehash what others were doing, so I made it with a flavor twist. Asian Buffalo Cauliflower isn’t just really spicy — the sriracha hot sauce, coconut aminos (soy-free soy sauce substitute), and ginger impart a unique flavor profile. There might be a time when I get tired of this recipe, but for the foreseeable future I’ll be frequently popping these spicy, salty, and slightly sweet morsels into my mouth, licking the extra sauce off my fingers, smacking my lips as I go.
Winter Smoothie Bowl with Cauliflower, Kale, and Beets
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to enjoy a nutrient-packed meal. But in the cold winter months drinking a frozen smoothie can be quite unappealing. Because I hate shivering through winter, for the past few months I’ve played around making thicker room temperature and warm smoothies. I enjoy this winter smoothie bowl with a spoon and some yummy toppings.
My Commute
I’m on a plane, looking out at the sun rising over the southern California mountains. It’s a warm, clear Sunday morning in Los Angeles and I just said “see you soon” to my partner Joshua — I’ll be back in a week. You see, my daughter Ella lives in Missoula and Joshua lives in Los Angeles — I split my time between the two. The two-legged flight between Los Angeles, California and Missoula, Montana, is my commute.
Minimalist Kitchen Essentials
Last fall we moved into an apartment in Missoula, MT that is half the size of the house we’d been inhabiting – 800 sq. ft instead of 1,500 sq. ft. While the overall space is about half as big, the kitchen is less than a quarter in size. It’s minimal. To prepare for the move, I whittled down my previous kitchen arsenal to the absolute essentials required for preparing healthy meals for our family and developing recipes for you.
Keto Brownie Batter
Yes, you read that correctly, keto brownie batter. It’s warm, chocolatey, and delicious, and can be made in under five minutes.
