#WeekTforTime #Friday #TakeABreak #Foodsky #Cooksky It's been a long week; I took a moment this afternoon to pause &enjoy this homemade cake+ coffee. Switching gears to cook/ bake often clears my mind. This cake is an easy peasy sponge with whatever was left in my pantry/ fridge. Recipe in thread.

Coffee’s medicinal qualities are rich&complex,not to mention its fascinating history. It is vata-kapha balancing, benefits liver,digestion & cognitive health. These days, I love my morning espresso blended with a bit of high-quality fat like cultured ghee. How do you like your morning coffee?

Days #8,9&10 Spring Veg- Radish+radish greens (slow braised in ghee), Arugula &Kale. Radish is 'pungent' & 'hot' per Ayurveda, so is Arugula. Radishes help fat metabolism, Arugula kindles digestive fire. Per Ayurvedic medicine both are kapha balancing, esp. on the kidneys& liver respectively.

I love using Fresh turmeric as a main ingredient in winter&springtime recipes. This relish, a no-cook traditional recipe, has a sunshin-y piquancy. The warming, scraping&clearing qualities of turmeric counter the damp, stagnating effects of a long winter. www.thetreatmentspace.net/post/a-fresh...

More& more of us are constantly tired &overwhelmed. We could all use better rest. Sometimes rest means SLEEP. ✨And sometimes rest means a break from the constant cognitive overload✨ A 10 min walk rests the mind, regulates emotions, helps with stuckness, fight or flight, impulsivity &hopelessness.

Gotu kola ( centella asiatica) is also often confused with Brahmi/ ‘True Brahmi’ ( bacopa monnieri). Gotu kola is sometimes (loosely) referred to as ‘Brahmi’ by some folks. In Ayurvedic herbalism bacopa and Gk have similar properties; but key differences in energetics and application. 😊
