The Nourished Kitchen: Farm-to-Table Recipes

"Emphasizing whole and minimally processed foods, the traditional foods movement calls you back to the kitchen, to real home cooking, and offers you an opportunity to weave the connections between the food on your table, the time you take to prepare it, and the farms that produce it."  Bringing the farm to the table, with make at home recipes, is the goal of The Nourished Kitchen.

Brassicas: The world's healthiest vegetables

There is something so delightfully earthy about kale, spinach, brussel sprouts and the like.  After I eat them, I feel like my body is saying "Thank YOU, darling!" for the rest of the day. 

My Paris Kitchen

As I prepared my carry-on bag for the next day's flight to Paris, a delivery arrived on my doorstep.  I opened it, discovering My Paris Kitchen.  As I felt the slightly rough pages and flipped through its beautiful photos of grey skies and sophisticated skylines, I instantly felt like I'd already been transported back to France.  

Sunshine

"Enjoy fully the sunlight".  A beautiful reminder about taking the time to enjoy what exists around us.

Use cork pads to protect floors from potted plants!

We installed brand new laminate floors this summer, and although they are very resistant to damage, I can't bring myself to put my potted plants directly onto them.  What if they scratch?  What if water seeps through?

Bloom

A little something to think about... Bloom where you are planted.  Make it work.  Thrive in your surroundings, regardless.

Wherever life plants you...

This quote really resonated with me - I love it and had to share on this beautiful May Day.
