This is a super simple, delicious and easy to make dish that your digestion and skin will love.
NOTE:
The cooking measurements for this recipes are rough estimates because I don’t normally measure or count anything. I just throw everything in a bowl and that’s it. I love cooking but I’m not interested in spending hours and hours for preparing and planning my meals.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
Keep It Fresh And Organic
Use organic, fresh seasonal produce if available. Make the swap in your meals for some springtime freshness. Please don’t wash your greens and veggies until you’re ready to use them. Washing produce before storing it, adds moisture, which makes it vulnerable to spoilage.
Play And Explore
Don’t feel that you need to follow rigidly every recipe. If you can’t find certain ingredients feel free to modify as much as you like. That’s what I do all the time. For me recipes are only a source of inspiration.
Make Cooking An Act Of Self-Love
Embrace the process of learning and experimenting with new recipes. Be fully present and express gratitude for all the healthy food that nourishes your body, mind, and soul.
