the colder months have left me feeling pretty uncreative in the kitchen and i think i’ve lived on a rotation of five dishes all winter. after confessing my guilt about this to my favorite food friend recently, she gently responded that winter is the perfect time for laying fallow and allowing yourself to take a rest.
i’m just starting to understand the effect the seasons have on us in this way living in florida for almost a decade, i had forgotten the natural pattern our bodies and spirits follow mirroring the cycle of the seasons. but spring is almost here and i feel the stirring within… spring is a good time for giving back after all i’ve soaked in during my hibernation.
as for those five dishes…. they flex a little but pretty much all revolve around my current essentials: plenty of seasonal veggies, a drizzle of sesame oil, poached eggs, a mix of brown and black rice with millet, and dried seaweed (i’m addicted to wrapping rice with it).
