I love food! I love discovering new ingredients, I love preparing food, and I love eating food! When I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Multiple Sclerosis) it became clear to me that the most effective way to treat my symptoms was choosing to eat healthfully. So I mixed my love of food with my creative spirit, and cooked up GreenLeaf Kitchen

Well, the final result was good, but getting there was crazy... Had so much going on I forgot to add water to the rice! 🤣 Thank goodness for my Instant Pot, dinner was only 30 min late - the extra wait just made everything taste better 😋

Today's salad: baby gems & arugula topped with sweet peppers (from Full Belly Farm), radishes, Bulgarian Sheep feta, a pastured egg (again, thank you Full Belly Farm), and a hunk of homemade sourdough focaccia. Yum!

Found a new veg at the market this week. It's a type of cauliflower. A quick steam, then tossed it in the skillet with EVOO and garlic. Super delicious 🤤 But I can't remember the name! Do you know the name?...

On Tuesday I started garbanzos soaking, on Thursday I cooked them. This morning I brought home some fresh basil. After over four hours of putting away groceries, doing dishes, making snaks for kids, doing dishes, chopping, prepping and cooking lunch, helping with math work, eating lunch, explaining the state of the world in elementary terms, doing dishes, chopping,... So, after 3 days and 4 hours I have 2 pints of hummus and 1 pint of pesto. I guess that's a win, right?

Lunch inspired by my favorite lunch spot Standard Fare and what I got this week in my csa from Full Belly Farm: bed of lettuce, leftover pork tenderloin, sauted beet greens with lemon, spring onions and mistake mushrooms, pesto, and a beet. The family opted for the ingredients as a sandwich. So delish!
