Simple Comfort Soup {Vegetable Farro}

By 5 Comments

when we surrender to the flow of winter,
a powerful wave carries us far from the rush
of everyday life and inwards,
to the place where our truth lies waiting.
This is a time to reconnect with our essence,
our humanity, our deep-seated creativity,

Roasted Red Lentil Curry Soup

By 7 Comments

I hope you don’t mind if I squeak this one in before the warm weather settles on us for good.

My brother sent a picture of giant snowflakes falling in the Québec Laurentians earlier this week, big fluffy cotton balls dotting the screen and resting in a pile of white on the spruce branches.  I thought it was beautiful but the locals may have a different idea in April.

Still, it feels like we are in a moment of soup. …
