In this episode, I'm inviting you to join me in The Kitchen as we gracefully transition from summer's bright, abundant energy into the quieter, more grounding rhythms of autumn.
As our days grow shorter and evenings get a touch cooler, I'm sharing why it's time to wind down those cold summer foods and start warming ourselves from the inside out. Drawing from traditional Chinese medicine wisdom, I'll explain why we need to say goodbye to ice cream, iced drinks, and frozen treats as we prepare our bodies for the cooler months ahead.
I'm sharing three of my favorite plant-based recipes that beautifully bridge summer's bounty with autumn's comfort:
Late Summer Roasted Vegetable Medley - A simple way to use up whatever's left in your fridge, roasted to caramelized perfection
Creamy Carrot Ginger Soup - A warming, nurturing bowl that's perfect for your thermos or afternoon reset
Baked Apple and Walnut Quinoa Bowl - Sweet, crunchy comfort food that's full of fiber and plant-based protein
This episode is all about listening to your body, eating with the seasons, and finding joy in simple, nourishing meals that help you stay centered and grounded as we welcome autumn together.
Remember, dear friend - it's time to slow down a little and let each meal be a beautiful act of love and gratitude.
