Happy Friday Friends!🙏✨

Kai (8 1/2 years) wanted to make chocolate chip challah today, so we made a pull-apart version with some homemade chocolate ganache for dunking - was perfect for tea time!🫖

Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! Stay healthy!
Shabbat Shalom✨

“Love is the greatest force in the universe.”

“Love is the greatest force in the universe.”
~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Chag Sameach! Happy Holidays to those of you who are celebrating Tu Bishvat.🌳

Photo is of our Tu Bishvat inspired charcuterie board - made with love for breakfast this morning.💚☀️

Tu Bishvat is the “New Year of the Trees”, and I found a fantastic tree meditation on the @mindfulmagazine site from November 8, 2021 for the twins by @heatherhawkfeinberg 🧘🏽‍♀️

It’s really lovely, and I wanted to share a few tidbits with you as I feel we grown folks could use these reminders as well!

*”A tree’s bark protects the tree like skin, it’s a barrier from the elements. Just like a tree, we need boundaries too!”

*”The roots anchor the tree into the earth, and keep it steady no matter what happens. The roots say, “I am safe.” We need to feel grounded and held too!”

*”the trunk is the tree’s core, its body. The trunk says, “I am strong.” We need to feel solid and steady within ourselves too!”

*”the uniqueness of the trees themselves and their leaves, how they express beauty and create nourishment for the world. They say, “I am whole.” We all have beautiful gifts to share!”

Just wanted to add a few things here that came to mind…

*be flexible. $hit happens, don’t let it break you.

*shed your “leaves” - the things that no longer nourish you.

*keep growing! Be mindful to rip out weeds that come up like limited or negative thinking, anger, jealousy, self-pity, fear, etc.❤️

But in all seriousness, how about them @rams 🏈👏🎉?!! Happy dreams! XO

“Let your roots be strong, and your fruits be sweet!”🌳

Tonight kicked off the Jewish holiday Tu Bishvat.💚

We love celebrating this “New Year of the Trees” as it honors nature & our sweet Mother Earth.🌎

And nothing says celebration like cake! The twins & I really enjoyed making this one. We got chocolate everywhere!😂

Speaking of chocolate, they say chocolate heals all wounds…gonna need a whole lotta chocolate after that Eagles game this morning.🤦🏻‍♀️ Hope they come back hungry next season!🦅🏈

Have a fantastic week ahead my friends!😊 #tubishvat #chocolatecake #vegancake #veganchocolatecake #vegandessert #cake #bakingwithlove #bakingwithkids #kidsbaking #momlife #jewishmom #jewishholidays #chocolate #bakingtherapy #mindfulliving #consciousliving #naturelovers #treehugger #madewithlove #bake #bakelife #bakingfromscratch #bakingtime #bakinglove #bakingmemories #bakinglife #bakingmama #bakingsomeonehappy #bakefromscratch #bakedwithlove❤️

Lunch on this rainy SoCal day was a hearty mixed veg curry with cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, & a handful of fresh spinach.
I puréed a cooked beet along with my carton of tomatoes for the gravy, it gives you such a vibrant color & added veg is always a good thing.

Had a fun date night with the hubby, dinner and a movie.❤️
We saw the @kingsman & it was really good!🎬👏

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I’m heading to bed without my usual hot cocoa because I’m still stuffed from dinner, I may have eaten too much lol. Happy dreams sweet friends!😘 #healthyindianfood #mixedveggies #healthyfood #highvibrationalfoods #healthyliving #mostlyplants #mostlyplantbased #plantbased #eatrealfood #seasonalliving #seasonalproduce #farmtotable #farmtofork #farmtoplate #foodismedicine #foodasmedicine #yogiclife #yogalife #eatinseason #eatlikeyougiveafuck #consciousliving #consciousfood #mindfuleating #mindfulfood #madewithlove #foodtherapy #eattolive #plantpowered #plantpoweredfamilies #livingyoga

Friday’s challah pull-apart rolls inspired by @misspetel 💕✨

When I was in culinary school I used to make round challah rolls just like this & stuff them with cheese or other goodies. I didn’t stuff them today, but served them as part of a big lunch with the kiddos. They were a hit!
For lunch we had basil/spinach pesto pasta, oven-roasted broccoli, cauliflower, & cabbage, and these rolls. So good!

Hope you have a delicious weekend ahead. Sending you love! Shabbat Shalom.💙 #shabbatshalom #shabbatchallah #challahrolls #challah #challahbread #pullapartbread #bread #breadmaking #breadbaking #bakesomeonehappy #bakingtherapy #jewishtradition #baking #ambaking #bakingwithlove #breaditation #breaditate #movingmeditation #livingmeditation #homemadebread #womeninfood #chefmom #bakersgonnabake #bakebakebake #bakingfromscratch #flourgirl #veganbread #breadislife #breadislove #breadart

My post-workout lunch today.💪🌱
Nothing fancy, just a big bowl of masoor dal (spiced red lentils) & rice.
I added diced carrots, fresh spinach, and cilantro to the dal (no onions or garlic) & topped the whole thing off with some vegan plain yogurt.
So satisfying!

Cook with love, even if it’s just for yourself.
Intention is everything.💕✨

Good night my friends.😴 #highvibrationalfoods #dal #redlentils #eatinseason #seasonalliving #indianfood #healthyindianfood #livingmeditation #livingyoga #yogiclifestyle #consciousliving #consciouseating #mindfuleating #mindfulliving #healingfoods #selfhealing #intentionaleating #turmeric #meditated #yogasadhana #yogapractice #eatinseason #seasonalfood #womeninfood #beyondasana #foodismedicine #foodsthatheal #mostlyplants #plantbased #mostlyplantbased #plantpowered

I typically eat cooked veg - especially during the winter months, but I was inspired this morning by a “Breakfast Salad” post by @manasiny
The salad looked so damn good & she had me laughing my a$$ off at the part in her post where she described the weather as “possibly colder than your ex’s heart kind of day”!🤣

We had finished off all the apples & oranges which would have been fantastic in this salad, but I did have kale, avocado, dates, candied pecans, & a pretty decadent homemade tahini dressing - sweetened by maple syrup.
Tossed all that good stuff together & here we are.
My kind of fast food, & not ashamed to tell you I finished the salad (which contained 2 packed cups of kale) all by myself! Keepin’ it regular around here!😜

Twins are back to school tomorrow, our homeschool charter was closed for a Covid break.😷
The alarm going off is going to be a "rip the Band-Aid off" moment since we haven’t exactly been getting up early during winter break. Should be a fabulous day!🧘🏽‍♀️😂
Happy dreams my friends!

Sweet potato curry with Swiss chard & chickpeas for Meatless Monday.🌱

Feeling a bit behind today, I didn’t accomplish everything I wanted to do around the house this weekend, but we have good eats & clean underwear so life is good!😂
Truth be told I’ve been reading “Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger: A Memoir” by @lisamariedonovan & it’s so hard to put down!!
You’re gonna want to check it out!

Hope you’re staying healthy wherever you are!❤️XO #vegcurry #meatlessmonday #meatfreemonday #meatfree #meatfreemeals #highvibrationalfoods #eatwellbewell #indianfood #healthylifestyle #healthyindianfood #consciouseating #mindfuleating #mindfulliving #consciousliving #sweetpotato #eatinseason #farmtotable #farmtofork #farmtoplate #seasonalliving #yogiclife #yogiclifestyle #yogicliving #livingmeditation #foodismedicine #eatrealfood #mostlyplants #plantbased #plantbasedmeals #womeninfood
