Lessons from Mother Nature

These flowers got me like 🤩

I've been working on establishing these perennial gardens since we moved into our house in NINE years ago. It’s taken a lot of trial error, lots of love, support from seasoned gardeners, patience and consistency. 🌸

People come to me often looking for a quick fix; a magic pill.

The magic pill? It’s a little trial and error, support from others, patience, consistency, and most importantly, loving yourself along the way. ❤️

Thai Rice Bowls

Buddha bowls are a super trendy thing now.  The name for this grain based bowls inspired by Buddhist monks and nuns, have been eating this way for over two thousand years.   I'm feeling grateful for this super healthy, balanced meal inspiration, which always offers a colorful balance of plants, additional fiber, healthy fats and protein!

What You'll Need:

For the dressing:
3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
2 1/2 Tbsp all natural peanut butter (no Jiff here guys, like for real)
1 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
squeeze Sriracha

1 block tofu, sliced lengthwise and pressed*
2 c cooked brown rice
1 sweet bell pepper, diced
2 c cabbage, thinly sliced (use purple cabbage to make this plate pop even more!)
1 c fresh cilantro, chopped
2 c lettuce greens, chopped

1/4 c peanuts, roasted & unsalted

…

*Press tofu by layering on a plate: tea towel, tofu, tea towel, something heavy-ish. While water presses out of tofu, prepare dressing and salad ingredients:

Whisk dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

Prepare and arrange ingredients in a large bowl or dinner plate. Cube press tofu  and toss with salad. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with peanuts, and DIVE IN!
