NOTHING is more important than for another human beings struggles. Nothing. Not career, not wealth, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another, we have to feel WITH another if we are going to survive with dignity.
We have been working on a very special program for just short of a year now and wanted to formally introduce you to BREAKING BREAD 🥖

BREAKING BREAD brings together people of different cultures, socioeconomic classes, circumstances, genders, religions, and race to cook and share a meal together. Around the table we are all equal. This program is changing lives and transforming communities!

Interested in partnering to host a Breaking Bread meal? Visit link in bio or DM! We are actively looking for partnerships and can’t wait to share what we have coming up!

Eat, learn, grow, create sustainable change. That’s what we do!

Now is the time to explore. Now is the time to dare to go on the journey in pursuit of something more.
Don’t wait for everything to fall perfectly in place to get started.
Don’t wait until you feel inspired again to get into the rhythm of just being curious on a daily basis.
You’re allowed to try new things. You’re allowed to take un-Instagrammable pictures.
You’re allowed to cook just because you want something to do.
You’re allowed to put goodness out in the world without worrying about if it’s going to become your “passion” or a new career.
Your inspiration is going to come back when it comes back, but in the meantime, you’re still free to live. You’re still free to breathe deep in this uncertainty and be all that you can be in this season.

Horseradish is a spicy root used as a creamy condiment to add flavor to roasted meats, vegetables and even sandwiches.
The science says horseradish like some other cruciferous vegetables is full of sulfur containing chemicals called glucosinolates which have been linked to a reduced risk for several kinds of cancer.
RECIPE:
This salad with horseradish dressing is SO GOOD.

2 strip steaks
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh chopped chives
1 tbsp horseradish
2 romaine lettuce hearts torn into bite size pieces
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
1 beet, trimmed, peeled and grated on a cheese grater (you can chunk of you prefer large bites of beets— grating with spread it more evenly throughout salad)

1. Pat steaks dry and heat oil in skillet until just smoking. Cook until browned about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to cutting board, tent with aluminum foil & let rest.

2. Whisk sour cream, lemon juice, chives, and horseradish together in bowl.

3. Add lettuce, walnuts, grated beets to bowl and add dressing & toss to coat. Salt/pepper. Divide into bowls and top with steak.

They say the first step to change is to become aware of your own bu****it. I believe this is SO true.
We often think we can’t love ourselves if we also dislike parts of ourselves. This just isn’t true. Do you love EVERY part of your partner? Your best friend? Your family members? Likely no, but you DO still love them. It’s not realistic or sustainable to ALWAYS be positive about yourself. And that is Ok.
Self love is wonderful but self awareness is even more important as awareness will open the door to more love & meaningful change.

Roll with me here...Chinese Chicken Salad but lighter & more flavorful!
This salad comes together with a bounty of leafy greens made of spinach, baby kale and arugula, topped with 5-6 sliced juicy strawberries, 1/2 spicy jalapeño cut into thin slices, a handful cilantro, one breast of baked chicken and a handful
cashews. The sweet of the strawberries and spice of the jalapeño really give this salad something special, and instead of won ton strips the addition of cashews gives the perfect nutritional crunch.
For dressing I used toasted sesame which was delicious!!
