Fresh Flavorful Salad in Winter - Seriously!
Six Recipes and a Zest for Life
A few days ago, I got the nicest email from my favorite yoga teacher, Margi Young. She pointed out that a common mantra in this world is that there’s never enough time to get the things you want to do done.  Right now, we are now facing a daunting crises, and it’s natural to spend time worrying.  But, what if we took that time and redirected it?  What have we been putting off “until we have the time”?  The choice is ours--spend time worrying, or develop a plan and take action.
 
So, I'm creating a plan! Join me and pass it on:

First, figure out the best way to keep yourself, your family, and your neighbors safe and do it. Next, before letting your thoughts and actions become focused on things in which you have no control, redirect your intention and choose another path, such as: Last, but not least, eat well!  With all the citrus that’s in season right now, cook!  Plus, citrus has the added bonus of a healthy dose of vitamin C, which I bet we could all use right now.

Here are some of my favorite ways to enjoy it:

Citrus Salad with Red Onion and Mint

Dandelion, Kale, Orange and Kumquat Salad with Spiced Walnuts

Asparagus Soup with Lemon Crème Fraiche
    
Parchment Roasted Fish with Lemon, Capers and Herbs

Lemon Squares

Olive Oil Orange Essence Cake

 Or simply slice up some oranges, give them a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of flake salt. I know it sounds strange, but I’m addicted right now.  Let me know how you and your kids like it ;)
