DELICATA SQUASH WITH CANDIED PEPITASDelicata squash is smaller than butternut, but richer in flavor.

The candied pepitas (squash seeds) are perfect for munching, and make a delicious protein-filled snack that benefit your Kidney energy. As is, the sweetness, color, and warm essence of the squash in this dish supports your Stomach and Spleen, which in Five-Element Theory are the organs that have a special “mother-child” relationship with the Lung, the organ associated with the Fall. A perfect fall dish to nourish both mother and child!

When the mother is full of energy and strong, she can better support and nurture her child!
MATCHSTICK VEGETABLE SAUTE’A plate full of colorful vegetables is always appealing, especially when you understand how healthy eating contributes to a healthier body.
