Vegetables

There is such a nurturing aspect to both of these vegetables as they grow in the Earth and absorb the consciousness of nurturing. They also carry a message of long lasting life. 

Pine nuts are great for the Kidney, and the green color is energizing for the Liver. The bitter taste supports your Heart function.

Caramelized onions warm the digestive system and support Qi flow, mushrooms strengthen immunity and promote detoxification, while sweet potatoes nurture the Spleen and Stomach, providing grounding energy. Together, this trio enhances overall balance, supports digestion, and helps increase your body’s natural defenses.

For crunchy zucchini, place the uncooked, sliced zucchini in a bowl of cold water with salt for 10 minutes before cooking. This helps draw out excess moisture, keeping the zucchini crisp when cooked

Instead of shopping for specific ingredients, take a little of this and a little of that from your refrig or market purchase.  We used one small eggplant, a handful of cherry tomatoes, four green beans, 1/2 yellow pepper, and a few mushrooms. Be creative! A great way to use leftovers!
