I was having a conversation with some friends recently about making healing foods vs. restaurant foods. See, I’m not a chef. I’ve never been through culinary school and honestly, I have a bit of a complex about cooking for other people because of this. My food is good. It’s simple, wholesome. It’s thrown together. It’s even delicious. But it also tastes great to me because my palette isn’t so attuned to the extremes of sugar and salt that it used to be years ago. These extreme tastes that we find in restaurants and in packaged foods are not healing tastes. When making therapeutic foods, we let the food taste of what it is. I love this quote to remind me that when it comes to eating, and many other things in life, I don’t need to be fancy to be fulfilled. ❤️.

My fave kind of salad - cooked + raw; some sweet, some sour, some spicy, some bitter and pungent. Why are meals like this so satisfying? It’s the whole circle of 5 elements in a bowl. 🏵 Happy weekend!

I’ve eaten SO many sweet potatoes in my life you guys. I often think I won’t ever eat one more and then along comes a new way that keeps this humble food on my plate. This is basically a direct copy of @saladforpresident - I saw an IG story she did one week assembling coleslaw onto a sweet potato and I was like - yes ma’am!! I’m sure hers is way better than mine but since I had no clue of the actual recipe this is what I did to replicate it: 1 baked sweet potato rubbed with salt and baked at 375 for 45 min then broiled for a few minutes more. Drizzle it all with tahini and diced green onions. Make a huge batch of slaw with red cabbage & fresh mint and dressing of avocado oil, salt, pepper, sumac, cumin, red chili, lime juice. Add some fresh feta and avocado and more chili flakes and you’ve got a WINNER. 🙌🙌.
