This time the focus was on the reason for cooking with the seasons along with what to cook with in each season and how to cook with ease.

This was a fun episode to film and one that will help remove the quandary of how to navigate from season to season without becoming overwhelmed or buying too much as is easy to do when everything looks so beautiful and delicious at the market! This and so much more is shared along with essential skills to learn so that cooking becomes fun every time during the everyday routine of feeding ourselves well. 

Enrollment opens on Sunday August 24th. Learn more about the full syllabus on the blog under "Classes" in the menu bar of the blog.

    Our lizard mind will hold us in place right where Our lizard mind will hold us in place right where we are, fully content to never peek around the corner let alone step around the corner to follow our curiosity. It takes applying the knowledge of how the mind works, embracing the sage mind instead, to trust our curiosity rather than be held back by our fears. Because in truth, our fears are actually pointing us toward where dream realization resides.
