Spring Break dinner turned lunch today with this easy, warm quinoa- roasted veg- herb salad with a tart + sweet beet root yogurt apple cider dressing. So good as leftovers! I can feel spring in the kitchen. 🌱🌷.

Naturally sweet root vegetables, nuts, & whole grains are grounding to our Earth phase and nervous system. Needing these meals to get me through the week of so much Yang energy with the boys!

Going on pasta tonight and topping a soup tomorrow: HOLY BASIL PESTO. Holy Basil (Aka Tulsi) is an adaptogenic herb that can reduce cortisol levels and help with anxiety and hormone imbalance, among other things. It is widely regarded as one of the most useful broad-spectrum anti-stress adaptogenic herbs. It does beautifully in culinary uses - which is why you see it in so many teas. Made a fresh basil / lemon / garlic / pine nut pesto and simply added 3 tsp dried holy basil to it while in the food processor to level it up. 🌱🌱
