New thoughts and a recipe!

This is work that I have been wanting to share for a long time, how I create balance in my life by living with Chakra balancing as a daily lifestyle practice.  I have been shy about sharing my sacred practices with people due to fear of judgement.  Yet, every time I do, the practice seems to help one person.  So, with your support, I will be sharing more often.  ( If something that I share resonates with you, will you let me know?  I will need the support to keep sharing!)

In my book' Building Blocks of Recovery" , I break down my Chakra practice and one of those important ingredients ( no pun intended) is what I put into my body.  Not in a diet way, more like an intentional sacred way.  

I have been learning more about sacred and intentional eating and am getting braver to share it with you!

Here is a veggie stew recipe that I made up to help me work on my Sacral Chakra ( it's all about the orange color! :)  )

Butternut Squash Stew
2 containers of 32 ounce Vegetable stock
one bay leaf
1 orange Peeled and sectioned
1 Medium red onion
​Diced sweet potatoes
salt to taste
Place these ingredients in a crockpot on high and let the onion cook.  There is no time limit on this, I just let it cook until the squash came out of the oven!

Preheat oven to 425
1 Medium to large Butternut squash
2 small Honeynut squash
Peel and cut into small chunks, place on a lined baking sheet, sprinkle with olive oil and salt, mix and sprinkle with the olive oil again.  Allow the squash to roast for 20 minutes.  After 20 minutes , turn the oven down to 300 and bake for one hour.  Take the pan out of the oven, squash should be easily able to be mashed.  Sprinkle 1/2 to 3/4 cup of honey and balsamic vinegar ( to your taste) on the squash while it is hot, stir and mix thoroughly.  Place the squash in the crock pot and allow to cook for at least 2 more hours.

When everything is tender, either use a potato masher or a stick blender and blend to smooth.

Place into bowl with fresh , grated ginger on top and a little sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese.  Place your favorite cracker or toast along side and enjoy!

I have enjoyed cooking more since I have started using the Imperfect Foods delivery service!  ( this is not a paid placement but I may be compensated if you use the link to sign up!)

It's like the show "Chopped" every time I order groceries and has me trying new ideas and recipes all the time.  I buy the small box since it's just me, but my freezer and lunch box is always full of goodies and I have helping the earth!
