<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">WINE.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love everything about it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Red, white, sparkling... I do not discriminate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love cooking with wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love pairing good food with wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love drinking wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, about a year ago, due to headaches (no matter how little I drank), I had to stop drinking red wine. The switch to white wine was fine, but the lovely elixir had a tendency to go down faster than I can throw a fastball. I started wondering about all the sugar and alcohol amount I was consuming. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Concerned? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">A healthy bit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">And then I found <a href="http://www.dryfarmwines.com/cheflindseyshifley">Dry Farm Wines</a>. For those of you who have come over to my house in the past year, you know I have a hard time drinking anything else. In fact, I have been known to be that "wine snob" who brings a bottle over to drink at your house. #sorrynotsorry</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today, with immune health being high up on the collective mind, plus being stuck inside/socially distant, it's definitely time to share why I'm such a weirdo about my wine. (Plus I'm linking you to my rad lasagna recipe at the very end... so you have <i>read</i> lol. Or just scroll down cheater.)</span></span><br />

I've been talking on & on about our microbiome-brain connection since the start of this lovely blog in 2012. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't help but smile + sip nowadays - I <i>never</i> thought it was possible to build a stronger gut through wine, but now I know how powerful a <i>probiotic</i> it can be.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">WINE + THE MICROBIOME </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Natural wine is alive, which means it’s rich with precious bacteria and compounds that strengthen your microbiome. To name a few …</span></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Polyphenols</b></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, the antioxidants that give red wine its color, feed good gut bacteria. They also remove harmful bacteria to make room for the new ones to grow. Two superb sources of polyphenols in your diet are red wine and coffee.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Flavanols</b></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">wine aroma compounds</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> protect brain cells from dying in people who drink moderate red wine daily, and ward off Alzheimer’s Disease in mice.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Resveratrol</b></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, an antioxidant found in grape skins, makes mice leaner by fostering a balanced gut. You may have heard of resveratrol; it gets a lot of attention in the news, but the reality is most red wines have nearly undetectable amounts of it. Wines that have the most are Malbec, Pinot Noir, Petite Syrah, and St. Laurent.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</b></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a wild yeast that gives wine a spicy, fruity flavor. But it’s good for more than taste: S. cerevisiae also increases absorption of zinc, magnesium, calcium, and iron through your intestinal wall. Commercial wine is sterilized to get rid of most native yeast, but you’ll find an abundance of S. cerevisiae in natural wine.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Probiotic bacteria</b></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> also form in wine while it ferments. Commercial wines are filtered to get rid of nearly all bacteria and sediment, but natural wine keeps those beneficial bacteria in. Among them is Pediococcus pentosaceus, a bacterium that attaches to your intestinal wall and protects it from pathogens like E. coli. Wine also contains lactic acid bacteria that have similar probiotic benefits as fermented foods like kimchi and miso, and unique wine probiotics that decrease gut inflammation in mice.</span></li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>Can wine damage your gut?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It can, although the harmful compounds are either far lower or entirely absent in natural wine.</span></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Sugar</b></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b> </b>can feed the harmful yeast Candida and other pathogens in your gut. Sugar hurts gut bacterial balance and decreases brain function in mice, too. Stick to “dry” wines that are left to fully ferment; they have less than 3g/L of sugar, which tastes crisp and won’t cause bloating.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Alcohol</b></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a toxin for your gut, too. It increases gut permeability (leaky gut), which can cause gut inflammation. Try to find lower alcohol wines — less than 12.5% ABV — to avoid negative effects.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Acetaldehyde</b> </span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">is a fermentation byproduct that increases intestinal permeability and makes you feel hungover. During the final steps of fermentation, though, yeasts use up acetaldehyde as fuel, and bacteria break it down. Natural wines typically have far less acetaldehyde because they’re unfiltered and ferment without human intervention.</span></li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>How to get the healthiest wine for your gut bacteria:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The short answer is to get real wine, grown in accordance with nature.</span></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Organic grapes</b>. </span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Grapes grown organically (without pesticides) have more polyphenols and antioxidants than conventional grapes do. Grapevines produce antioxidants as a natural way to protect against microbes and pests. Organic vines aren’t artificially protected by chemical sprays, which means they produce many more antioxidants to survive.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Natural wines</b>.</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Commercial processing techniques, like extreme filtration, damage or remove many of the good compounds in wine. Manufacturers often replace them with artificial coloring and lab-created yeast strains.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Low sulfites</b>.</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Sulfites kill bacteria to stabilize a wine. The lower the sulfites, the more alive a wine remains. You can see the difference under a microscope — low-sulfite wine is vibrant with a diverse spectrum of wild bacteria and yeast.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Sugar-free, low-alcohol wine</b>.</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Sugar and alcohol are the two biggest toxins in wine. Try to find the driest, lowest alcohol wines possible.</span></li>

(*Recipe was x6 for 350 student & staff tastings)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Chocolate Black Bean Hummus + Fresh Fruit Dippers</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
1 can black beans, drained and liquid reserved. (Eden Organic brand is my favorite as the beans are already pressure cooked, which helps digestion).<br />
4 Tbsp pure maple syrup<br />
4 Tbsp raw cacao<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
<br />
In a food processor or high speed blender, mix all ingredients until smooth (stop and scrape the sides a few times). Add reserved liquid to thin to desired consistency. Favorite dippers = Strawberries, apples, kiwis, bananas, and oranges.<br />
Optional: Add a few heaping Tbsp's of dark chocolate almond butter - YUM! Also, cannellini beans are my second favorite bean to use.<br />
<br />
(*Recipe was x18 for 350 student & staff tastings)<br />

This was the 2nd annual Citrus Chef's Tasting Table and I'm already looking forward to our 3rd next year. It's a BIG in-season fan favorite for all.<br />

I visited both Diamond Lake and West Oak back to back this week; Without a doubt, we have 750+ citrus lovers in our district!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that we have their attention, get your eaters to think outside of the orange-wedge-box and make your own jam jar salad dressing! You can thank me later for helping you to get your kids to eat their greens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u><b>A Cara Cara Jam Jar Dressing</b></u></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1-2 Cara Cara oranges juiced (about 1/4 cup. And type of orange will work here!)</div>
<div>
2 Tbsp vinegar (any kind you have on hand - Apple cider vinegar, White vinegar, Red/White Wine vinegar, Balsamic vinegar all works)</div>
<div>
1 Tbsp honey</div>
<div>
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil</div>
<div>
1/4 tsp iodized or sea salt</div>
<div>
1/4 tsp pepper<br />
1 garlic clove minced (optional)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Place all ingredients in a mason jam jar. Put the lid on and shake vigorously (a great job for kids!) until it's all mixed up. Enjoy on your favorite greens (my kids LOVE <a href="http://gothamgreens.com/">Gotham Greens</a>), plus it would be delicious on fish too! Store in the refrigerator. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To the mullies we go...</div>

<br />
Please welcome pumpkin butter to your world - I've never made so much in my life.<br />

The kids loved the tasting and many had NEVER tried <a href="https://foodfacts.mercola.com/jicama.html">jicima</a> ("yambean") before. I brought an uncut, whole jicima so the students could see how weird and brown it looks on the outside and identify it in the grocery during future shopping trips. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

I am so thankful to the Diamond Lake School District Administration and Wellness Committee for sharing a passion for food education. It's been a <i>dream</i> to spear head this school lunch room tasting program every month, and I'm simply having a ball brainstorming new "bite sized" initiatives with the committee which are making such a difference in our #d76diamonds community. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How did we get started? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 years ago, I helped the school district apply for the <a href="http://www.chefannfoundation.org/programs-and-grants/project-produce/">The Chef Ann Foundation Project Produce Grant</a> which was the spark behind our "Chef's Tasting Table."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And speaking of sparks...</div>

Whenever possible, I partner with local farmers like Jen and Jeff Miller because every dollar goes back directly to their farm which improves Lake County's economic, social and environmental sustainability. I was able to find all pantry ingredients at Jewel & Target.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As the <a href="https://www.compasshikingandyoga.com/">Compass Hiking and Yoga Retreats</a> Chef, this month also marked the launch of our Compass Outreach Program! I am thrilled to announce our partnership with <a href="https://www.d120.org/academics/departments/special-education/continuum-of-services/">Mundelein High School District 120 Transition Center</a>. As a proud alumni of Mundelein High School and current resident in the community, it's an <i>honor</i> to be joining the participants and staff every month this school year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We had a ball making the grape salsa together. Along with basic knife safety & cutting skills (like the "cat claw"), we discussed the different ingredients and the versatility of </span>grape salsa; Whether you make it to trick out your Taco Tuesday, eat it alone, put it on on chicken, pour it over fish or add it to anything else you can dream up, it's a "food hero" dish for sure.</span><br />

Now that's a lot of 2nd's and 3rd's boys! Way to EAT those tomatoes!!<br />
<br />
Welcome to the 2019 Chef's Tasting Table School Year with <a href="http://www.dist76.org/">Diamond Lake School District 76</a>!<br />
<br />
I am just thrilled to be writing this post, as it's my third year in the lunch room with the D76 students and staff. I am simply amazed by our evolution in food education together.<br />
<br />
<i><b>3 years ago:</b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Most of the 8th grade students chose not to eat "lunch". Many tables would share candy and/or other processed snacks (like Takis Chips) brought from home. Very few participated in the school lunch program with <a href="http://www.preferredmeals.com/">Preferred Meals</a>.</li>
<li>The majority of 7th and 8th graders were <i>very</i> hesitant or declined to try the foods at our tastings. </li>
<li>It helped to "hide" the ingredients of a tasting table menu item as it helped students be more adventurous. Once I revealed the ingredients (like spinach!), they were more willing to try an unfamiliar or "weird" food the next time.</li>
<li>The majority of the 5th and 6th graders were always up for a tasting. They were enthusiastic and excited every month.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><i>Today:</i></b></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Virtually EVERY student in EVERY lunchroom (5th-8th) eats lunch whether it's a sack lunch from home or served from Preferred Meals.</li>
<li>The majority of EVERY lunchroom participates in the tasting. And I don't even have to hide the ingredients anymore to get kids to try what I'm serving up!</li>
<li>All grade levels exhibit enthusiasm for our Chef's Tasting Tables. WOW!</li>
</ul>
<div>
HUGE thank you's to Jennifer and Jeff Miller of <a href="https://www.prairiewindfamilyfarm.com/">Prairie Wind Family Farm</a> for providing the beautiful and TASTY tomatoes for our very first tomato tasting. The kids asked for seconds and thirds more than every before. I simply love coming to the farm, talking to your staff, and picking up your organic produce (just 9 miles away from West Oak School)!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each student received a boat of tomatoes that were sliced and prepared three ways:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Plain</li>
<li>Sprinkled with sea salt</li>
<li>Sprinkled with organic sugar</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
Why the three options? To begin sharing the experience of how seasoning can effect taste with the students. </div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Why is tomato sauce and pizza sauce sometimes sweeter than eating a raw tomato? Well, the chef adds some sweetener to cut the acidity! </li>
<li>Can you believe how a little salt brings out more flavor? </li>
<li>Isn't it amazing how naturally sweet a grape tomato is all by itself!?</li>
</ul>
<div>
I was joined by a friend and fellow graduate from the <a href="http://psychologyofeating.com/nutrition-training/">Institute for the Psychology of Eating</a>, <a href="http://negociosnow.com/promotion/erika-quezada-sanchez/">Ms Erika Quezada-Sanchez</a> of <a href="https://lotuslifeandwellness.com/">Lotus Life and Wellness</a>. I am so <i>grateful</i> to be connected to her through our Mind Body Nutrition training and especially appreciative of her volunteering with me in the lunchroom! Thank you for sharing this awesome day with me and the students Erika, and I can't wait for you to join us again and spread more fun food education together!</div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
More Guts More Glory - It all starts at hOMe plate!</div>

To the Mullies we go...</div>

It's an honor today to be posting about my friend Mardi Michel's new cookbook, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/French-Kitchen-Kids-Everyday-Dishes/dp/0147530776/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1533482397&sr=8-1&keywords=in+the+french+kitchen+with+kids">In the French Kitchen with Kids.</a> She and I connected back in 2012 as ambassadors in Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Community and we are both hanging in strong today as global Super Ambassadors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mardi Michels of <a href="https://www.eatlivetravelwrite.com/">Eat.live.travel.write</a> is a full time French teacher in Canada and also teaches children how to cook twice a week in her school's food lab. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She is such an inspiration! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm singing her cookbook "to the Mullies" and beyond today. (Pronounced "Muh-lies," this means "Geronimo." My sister and and I coined the phrase back in the early 80's while jumping off high, scary places with unknown landings.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Isn't that like cooking (with or without kids)?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have fallen unabashedly, head over heals, for her delicious French recipes... And so have my kids. Her well thought out cookbook begins with "top tips for cooking with kids" which are spot on for anyone who is interested in welcoming little ones into the craziness of a kitchen. She also outlines the basics (pantry ingredients & equipment) to get your French Kitchen party started. NOTE: This is NOT fancy stuff - Super doable, realistic and time tested by Mardi who is one of the most seasoned, practical chefs and teachers I know! The holidays are coming... time to get those lists started, or a quick trip to TJMax. The "kitchen blowtorch" is on my wish list. Crème brûlée, I'm coming after you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the first post of many from her cookbook - Bon Appetite! </div>

I decided to cook up Mr. Neil's Roast Chicken for our dear friends who moved away to the Bahamas (<a href="https://krissysgonecoconuts.com/">Krissy's Gone Coconuts</a>) last week. It was totally <i>impromtu</i> (they were packing and needed to be fed!). I invited the boys into the kitchen with me and it turned out to be the most wonderful going away dinner ever.</div>

When Tommy's friend Wolfi came over, he just watched for a bit. It's rather unnerving watching someone prep a chicken for roasting if you've never done this before (I'll never forget putting pats of butter under a bird's skin for the first time myself!). I invited the boys to help me, made it fun, we laughed and relaxed... and they decided to join me!!<br />
<br />
Don't worry if your little cooks decide not to join in... they might next time. I LOVE how Mardi coaches you through the unexpected food education moments in her cookbook:<br />

<i>"Kids might be squeamish about touching raw chicken (especially when it comes to placing the lemons, garlic and herbs in the cavity and butter under and over the skin.) The more they see you doing tasks like this, though, the more normal (and less gruesome) it will appear. In the meantime, get them busy chopping the vegetables and mixing in the oil and seasoning in the roasting pan."

<b><u>Mr. Neil's Roast Chicken {Poulet Roti}</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Serves 4</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Prep time: 25 minutes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cook time: about 1.5 hours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
INGREDIENTS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2-3 c roughly chopped assorted root vegetables (we used rainbow carrots, celeriac, turnips, potatoes)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 medium yellow onions, thickly sliced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Tbsp olive oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 small lemons, grate the zest of one and use both for the chicken</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6 sprigs fresh thyme (we also added 2 Tbsp fresh oregano leaves here)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 tsp flaky sea salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 whole chicken (ours was organic, antibiotic free and pasture raised from a local Midwest farm)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled but smashed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few sprigs of fresh thyme</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 c salted butter, at room temperature</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1-2 tsp dried <i>Herbes de Provence</i> or dried thyme</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Freshly ground black pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FOR BASTING</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 c salted butter melted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled but smashed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.</li>
<li>Scatter the chopped vegetables in a roasting pan with olive oil. Add lemon zest, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper to the vegetables and, using your hands, mix until all the vegetables are coated. Make sure the vegetables are sitting evenly on the bottom of the roasting pan.</li>
<li>Pat the cavity of the bird dry using a paper towel.</li>
<li>Cut both of the lemons in quarters and place them in the cavity of the bird with the smashed garlic and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. If all the lemon quarters don't fit, you can pop them in the pan with the vegetables - just don't forget to take them out when you are serving the chicken.</li>
<li>Cut about half of the butter into small pieces and place them under the skin of the bird. To do this, start at the cavity end of the chicken and slide on or two fingers between the meat and the skin. Work slowly, separating the skin from the meat as far as you can reach. Squish the butter pieces slightly and fit them under the skin as best you can.</li>
<li>Spread the remainder of the butter over the outside of the skin. The easiest way to do this is with your hands. Season the bird with the <i>Herbes de Provence</i> or dried thyme and a touch of pepper.</li>
<li>Place the bird directly on the vegetables in the roasting pan and place in the oven for 20 minutes, until the skin starts to brown nicely.</li>
<li>Add smashed garlic to the melted butter and place this over very low heat on the stovetop. You will use this to baste the chicken while it's roasting.</li>
<li>Turn down the oven to 400 degrees and roast the chicken for 60 to 70 minutes more, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the high part of the the thigh registers 165 degrees. Normally, you can count on about 20 minutes' cook time per pound of chicken but to be absolutely sure, a meat thermometer is the way to go!</li>
<li>While the bird is cooking, baste it every 20 minutes or so with the melted butter and smashed garlic. This will season the bird even more.</li>
<li>Once the bird is cooked, remove it from the oven (leave the vegetables in the roasted pan), place it on a cutting board (preferably one that has a drain ridge to catch any juices), cover it loosely with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before you carve it.</li>
<li>Give the vegetables a good stir and place the roasting pan back in the oven until you are ready to serve the meal. If the vegetables are not crispy enough, you can set the boiler to high (around 400 degrees) and broil them for about 5 minutes, but do keep an eye on them as they might burn.</li>

<b><u>Raspberry + Blueberry Coconut Crumble with Wild Orange (gluten free)</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Made with <a href="https://www.prairiewindfamilyfarm.com/">Prairie Wind Family Farm</a> CSA Summer fruit share from <a href="https://mickklugfarm.com/">Mick Klug Farm</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 (1/2 pint containers) organic raspberries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 (1 pint containers) organic blueberries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/3 c coconut sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Tbsp arrowroot powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 lemon juiced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp sea salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 drops <a href="https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/wild-orange-oil?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvezZBRDkARIsADKQyPkEFDUN93BZNFppdh5Rb5XAvBzZqKsuzGqwQv6fWi29nVUL_ykFnlAaAkkLEALw_wcB">wild orange essential oil</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>GF Streusel Topping</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 c gf flour blend (I used <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/pamelas-gluten-free-baking-pancake-mix">Pamela's GF Baking and Pancake Mix</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 c coconut sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 c gf rolled oats</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp ground cinnamon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
freshly grated nutmeg</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 stick (1/4 c) cold organic grass fed butter or cold coconut oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
pinch of sea salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Optional: While still warm, garnish with dark chocolate mini chips and <a href="http://www.leidershoney.com/Services/#Pollen">Leider's local pee pollen</a> (found at the <a href="https://www.localharvest.org/libertyville-farmers-market-M2033">Libertyville Farmer's Market</a>) + Full Fat Organic Vanilla Bean Ice cream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, gently mix up berries, sugar, arrowroot, freshly squeezed lemon juice, sea salt and wild orange essential oil until well combined. Pour into square baking pan or pie plate. Use a rubber spatula to get all juices into the berry mixture. In another mixing bowl, add the dry streusel ingredients. With a pastry cutter or fork (precut the butter into small chunks), cut in the cold butter or coconut oil into the dry mix until you get a uniform, small bread crumb-like consistency. Pour the streusel topping onto the berries and bake for 30 minutes. The fruit should be bubbling up on the sides. Garnish with chocolate chips and bee pollen for a festive presentation and extra flavor pop! Abbie says, "The more vanilla ice cream, the better!"</div>

Welcome to my first <a href="https://www.compasshikingandyoga.com/">Compass Hiking and Yoga Retreat</a> Memoir!<br />
<br />
In this new series, I will let the incredible pictures tell most of the story. Each memoir will conclude with a retreat recipe for you to bring hOMe to your family table.<br />
<br />
I have found <i>true</i> <i>north</i> working alongside Compass founder Kelsey Stoll and I cannot WAIT to travel back with her and our guests to Big Sky, Montana.<br />
<br />
I left a BIG piece of my heart in her beautiful mountains.<br />

<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">cayenne pepper</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1 Tbsp ghee </span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1 large white or red onion diced</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3-4 garlic cloves minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3 portobello mushrooms diced</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1 cup mung beans & brown rice (soaked overnight in water and drained. Green lentils also work great as this is what I could find in Big Sky.)</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3 tsp chili powder</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3 tsp cumin</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2 tsp paprika</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1 tsp dried oregano</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2-4 c vegetable broth (Honestly, I can't remember how much I added - The downside of eyeballing it!)</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">fresh cilantro </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">sliced green scallions</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">sea salt and black pepper to taste</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl mix up the diced sweet potato, cinnamon, and sea salt. Evenly spread onto a baking sheet and sprinkle chili powder and cayenne pepper over the top (be gentle with the cayenne pepper if you can’t handle heat). Finish it off with a little sprinkle of nutmeg. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip or shake the pan to turn the potatoes and spread back out evenly on the pan. Cook for another 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the ghee in a large dutch oven and add the diced onion. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook low and slow until the onion is translucent and beginning to caramelize - at least 10-20 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the diced mushrooms and another healthy pinch of sea salt. Cover, cook and stir until the mushrooms have released their juices and have cooked down - about 10-15 minutes. Add the spices and stir until evenly distributed for another minute or so. Add the vegetable stock and soaked brown rice/lentils. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until lentils and rice are cooked (I gave you a range of stock to add as I always eyeball the liquid amount to come up about a 1/2 inch over the ingredients). Add the roasted sweet potatoes (you don’t have to add all of the sweet potato especially if it was a very large one. Keep some in the fridge to add to your morning eggs or lunch salad!). Add more stock here if needed. Simmer with the lid vented (or take it off completely) to let water evaporate for the perfect taco “meat” consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings to your spice and heat preference. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro and sliced green scallions.</span><br />

Hollah chic chef style! I found this <i>gorgeous</i>, American made <a href="https://artifactbags.com/collections/aprons/products/waist-apron">Artifact Apron</a> in Bozeman on our last epic day. I will definitely try and stop in their shop in Omaha, Nebraska on my next road trip out West, the workmanship is amazeballs. Did you know Chris Hughes' company all started with a simple <a href="https://artifactbags.com/collections/bags/products/original-canvas-lunch-tote">lunch tote</a> in 2010? So cool... I'm drooling after his <a href="https://artifactbags.com/collections/bags/products/kit-bag">Kit Bag</a> for all of my Compass spices! </div>

Need a fun green food idea for St. Patty's day tomorrow (or really any day)? I've got just the pesto recipe for YOU. I love that you can swap in cilantro or mint or even arugula to make it the perfect accompaniment for any dish. The majority of students had <i>never</i> tried pesto before and it was really exciting to talk to the students about this new taste! As for the kids who had tried pesto before, they couldn't believe it had carrot tops inside! I definitely had more staff than ever before come say hello for a taste, "What's that incredible smell in the cafeteria today?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was also perfect timing to wear my new <a href="https://biggreen.org/">Big Green</a> hat and introduce the students and staff to a food ed organization that is making a BIG impact in helping school districts across the country grow school gardens. The kids were really surprised and inspired to hear about the brotherly connection between Kimbal and Elon Musk. WUT?! <a href="https://www.omaze.com/experiences/tesla-model-3-kimbal-musk?utm_source=google.com&utm_medium=paid&utm_content=KimbalMusk&utm_campaign=experiences.tesla-model-3-kimbal-musk&utm_term=Playbook_FTSearch&oa_h=ptk001&ftid=t_kwd-414182372140:ag_53775598073:cp_1064608758:n_g:d_c:fi_&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1qmN447x2QIVlbjACh36ww5fEAAYASAAEgKXcvD_BwE">Tesla and real food vrooms together</a>!? </div>

<b><u>St Patrick’s Day Carrot Top Pesto</u></b><br />
(all ingredients found at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JewelOscoMundeleinIL3061/">my local Jewel Osco</a>)<br />
Paired with a brown rice cracker, cucumber and carrot<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
1 small bunch organic carrot tops removed from carrots (approx 1 packed cup + bottom of stems removed)<br />
2 boxes of <a href="http://gothamgreens.com/">Gotham Green</a> Basil (approx 2 packed cups <complete id="goog_944412324">+ </complete>tough stems removed. Also, you can sub in mint, cilantro or arugula!)<br />
1 small bunch fresh parsley (approx 1 packed cup + bottom of stems removed)<br />
1/4 c raw or salted sunflower seeds (just watch the added sea salt as you won’t need as much if you use salted seeds)<br />
1-2 garlic cloves (just depends on how garlicky you want it!)<br />
1/2 large lemon (zest + juice to taste. If lemon is small, use the entire thang)<br />
2/3 c extra virgin olive oil<br />
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (if using raw sunflower seeds, start with a few pinches to taste)<br />
1/2-2/3 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil<br />
<br />
Pulse together all ingredients (except for the olive oil) until rough chopped. Stream in about 1/2 of the olive oil amount into food processor (while running). Turn off and scrape sides. Stream in the rest or until desired consistency is reached. See above pictures for the play by play.<br />

Mung Beans.<br />
Such a weird name.<br />
<br />
I had never heard of them before diving into my studies in <a href="http://psychologyofeating.com/">Dynamic Eating Psychology</a> + Ayurvedic Nutrition. I bought them in bulk early this week and thought I'd experiment with them to kick off my 5th module of education at the <a href="http://psychologyofeating.com/">Institute for the Psychology of Eating</a>. I am so excited to begin cooking with them and to learn more about how <a href="https://www.joyfulbelly.com/Ayurveda/ingredient/Mung-Bean/32">Mung Beans can make you feel great</a>.<br />
<br />
I serendipitously found <a href="https://www.mynewroots.org/site/2018/01/kichadi-realistic-reset/">Sarah Britton's blog about Kichadi</a>, a super comforting, warm "one pot wonder" that our digestive system simply adores. Renewal in a bowl.<br />

I used to hate peas. Something about the texture gave me the willie-gag's as a kid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I try to remember this when my kids have an issue with texture... Thank heavens I turned the corner (when I was pregnant) and can eat peas now. I just can't get enough of these cute little green balls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a beautiful way to usher in one of my favorite Spring vegetables. How did the recipe come together? I opened the fridge for a quick bite; An avocado sat next to a small glass container of leftover Italian peas from dinner the night before. So, I decided to combine them for some major hOMe plate snack happiness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Guacamole and Peas Please</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 avocado</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup of Italian Peas (see recipe below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
pinch of sea salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
freshly ground black pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add the peas. Using a fork, mash together the peas and avocado. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pair it with these <a href="https://www.target.com/p/eaten-path-rice-peas-black-beans-veggie-crisps-6-25oz/-/A-51919008?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Grocery+Essentials+Shopping&adgroup=SC_Grocery&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9021445&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2f36kJvC2QIVibXACh253gSSEAQYASABEgLE6_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds">Off the Beaten Path Rice, Peas and Black Bean Veggie Chips</a> or pile it on your favorite toast for a fabulous snack or breakfast.</div>

<u><b>Italian Peas</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>(Follow the same recipe for Italian green beans!)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 cups frozen peas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Tbsp grass fed, organic butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tsp Italian Seasoning</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
pinch of sea salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
freshly ground pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
zest of half lemon + juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, lemon zest and juice. Once butter is melted remove from heat. Here is <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/edward-schneider/cooking-off-the-cuff-peas_b_3487849.html">the best way to cook peas</a> (I whole heartedly agree).

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The following meals were created over three nights. The first night began with a side dish batch of lentils and rice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is how the "planned-overs" went down. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">...So much better than "left-overs" don't you think?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks for the awesome rewording Mark! (Must give props to my super cool friend from Slow Food Canada.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<u><b>Lentils and Brown Rice</b></u><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil or ghee</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2 large yellow onion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1 cup red lentils</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1 cup brown rice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3 1/2 cups water/vegetable stock/chicken stock</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">(if using water add 1 tsp sea salt)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1 tsp dried thyme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1/2 black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a medium saucepan or dutch oven, saute the onion in the oil low and slow, stirring occasionally until beginning to brown and caramelize. Remove half of the onions and set aside on a plate. Pour in the water/stock and to the saucepan with 1/2 of the onions. Bring to a boil. Add the lentils, reduce heat and cover, simmering for 15 minutes. </span><br />
<ol class="expanded" style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 20px; padding-left: 0px; position: relative;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 28px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the meantime, bring water to a boil in a saucepan, add the lentils, reduce heat, and cover, simmering for 15 minutes. Then add the rice, salt (if only using water), pepper and thyme. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat and stir in the caramelized onions. Place a paper towel over the pot, Cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><b><u>Lentil n Rice Meat Balls</u></b></span></div>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b><span style="background-color: white;">Cold leftover lentils and rice (at least 1.5 cups)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">1 lb grass fed, organic ground beef</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">1 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">1 tsp black pepper</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">1 pasture raised, organic egg</span></div>
<div>
a handful of parmesan shavings<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl. With clean hands, mix up the ingredients until well incorporated (all squishy-wishy in the fingers). *If you make the lentils and rice the same day, do NOT mix the cold meat with the warm rice, this will begin cooking the meat and encourage bacteria to form. To cool the rice down quickly, spread on a baking sheet and put in the freezer until cool). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Form mixture into balls as large or as small as you'd like. Place meatballs in a cast iron pan and cook for 40 minutes. They should be browned and cooked through. We made meatball sandwiches!</div>

<br />
<b><u>A Warm Chickpea and Brussel Sprout Slaw</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
1 14 oz can of chickpeas (drained, rinsed and dried in a towel) or Cauliflower (cause my friend Christina just reminded me that chickpeas aren't Whole 30... Boy I'm excited not to have to do this next week... lol)<br />
1 tsp cumin<br />
1 tsp chili powder<br />
Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil<br />
1/2 tsp sea salt<br />
Freshly ground black pepper<br />
<br />
1 8 oz package of brussel sprouts (ends trimmed and discarded)<br />
<br />
Equal parts (about 1-2 Tbsp each) of:<br />
Organic (Whole 30 approved) Dijon mustard<br />
Organic (Whole 30 approved) Spicy brown mustard<br />
White vinegar<br />
Extra virgin olive oil<br />
Dried parsley (fresh would have been even better but I didn't have any on hand!)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Gently dry chickpeas in a tea towel (lay chickpeas on one half of the towel and fold the other half over the tops of the peas to remove moisture. This will help toast them up in the oven.) Place the chickpeas in an even layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, sea salt pepper and olive oil. Toss to evenly coat. If using Cauliflower, toss in the same mixture. Roast either the cauliflower or the chickpeas for 10 minutes, toss and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until crispy. Remove from pan. Using the slicing mechanism on a food processor, shred up the brussel sprouts. Using the same pan as the chickpeas/cauliflower, evenly spread out the sprouts. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and toss with a drizzle of olive oil. Roast for 10-15 or until the sliced edges begin to brown a little bit. In a large serving bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Add the roasted chickpeas/cauliflower and brussel sprouts. If needed, season to taste with additional sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.<br />

My Mom recreated our favorite french onion pot roast, potatoes and carrots (Check out this great <a href="http://www.therisingspoon.com/2016/11/slow-cooker-pot-roast-with-onion-soup-mix.html">French Onion Soup Pot Roast Recipe</a>) from my childhood and brought it over for dinner. It was a perfect pairing with this delicious, zingy salad.<br />
<br />
The funny part was she thought we were coming over to her house, and I thought I was hosting... So, we both set the table! In the end, they ended up coming over to my house and Chris did the dishes.<br />
<br />
We sure make a good family food team!<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px;">With the Winter Olympics opening ceremony tonight and Valentine's Day around the corner, our Chef's Tasting Table landed with perfect timing yesterday!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I love how it all came together: Sue - my school nurse sidekick - inspired me a few weeks ago when she forwarded me a yogurt and cherry smoothie drink recipe. Then, I remembered how <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fuelupnu/">Northwestern Performance Nutrition</a> posted about using tart cherry concentrate with their athletes and also how the <a href="https://www.inquisitr.com/296849/olympic-athletes-turning-to-beetroot-juice-and-tart-cherry-juice/">Olympic athletes are using tart cherry (and beetroot) concentrate and their performance training</a> (article). Here is a recent <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BcCy--LFuzB/?taken-by=fuelupnu">instagram post</a> where a Mackenzie Wilson, an NU cross country student athlete topped yogurt and bananas with a drizzle of the tart cherry concentrate - YUM! </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Want to learn more? Here is another great article about cherries and <a href="https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/the-benefits-of-tart-cherry-juice-for-endurance-athletes/">the science behind why tart cherry concentrate has risen to "super endurance food" status</a> (article). We also talked about cherries natural melatonin levels and I was pleasantly surprised how a few students knew about melatonin and how it helps you to sleep! </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In honor of Valentine's Day, I added a little raw cacao powder to the drink and garnished with some cacao nibs. Many students remembered the <a href="https://themullies.blogspot.com/2016/12/chefs-tasting-table-day-3-chocolate.html">chocolate avocado pudding</a> I made last year with the cacao powder and I knew I had to bring it back in a different taste context. I wanted them to experience the true bitter and pure dark chocolate taste along with the tart/sour and sweet taste of the cherries. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u><b>Coconut Cream of Soffritto and Mushroom Soup</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">2 organic celery ribs diced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">2 large organic carrots diced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 yellow or red onion diced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 tsp dried thyme</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">2 cloves black garlic (regular garlic is just fine too) minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 package antibiotic free bacon (bake at 375 degrees on a baking sheet over parchment paper for 20 minutes) place on a paper towel, let cool and rough chop (Totally optional - Make it meat free!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">8 oz package of cremini mushrooms sliced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">2/3 cup white or balsamic vinegar (or white wine) - I eyeballed this... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 can full fat organic coconut milk </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 can water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">sea salt to taste (don't be shy - especially if you leave the bacon out)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">freshly ground pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 cup frozen peas (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cook the bacon. Drain most of the grease from the parchment paper into your small dutch oven/soup pot over medium/low heat. Add the diced celery, carrots and onion (soffritto). Season with sea salt, pepper and thyme. Cook low and slow, mixing everything up occasionally until the vege begins to caramelize. Add the minced garlic. Cook for another 10 minutes or so. Add the sliced mushrooms and season again with sea salt and pepper. Pour in the vinegar or wine. Cook low and slow, mixing everything up occasionally until mushrooms and completely cooked down and there is only a bit of liquid left. Pour in the can of coconut milk. Fill the empty can with water and add into the pot. Stir. Add the chopped bacon and frozen peas. Season to taste with sea salt. Option: You can also puree (with or without peas) before adding the bacon with an emersion blender; I would leave the bacon bits out and add them as a garnish.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>Smashed in the Pan Potatoes </u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">3lb bag of organic red potatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ghee</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Freshly ground black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Smoked garlic seal salt (or sea salt + garlic powder)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Wash the potatoes and add them to a large stock pot. Fill with water, add a good palmful of salt to the water and bring to a boil (Leave the lid lightly vented over the pot). Boil until the potatoes are soft when you pierce them with a fork or knife. Drain. After the above bacon has been cooked (and the grease drained into the soup pot to cook up the soffritto), smash the potatoes (with the back of your hand or with a meat mallet - Tommy's idea) until they are a 1/2 in thick or less into the parchment paper. Generously sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 375 degrees for another 25 minutes or until they are nice and crispy on the top.</span><br />

Tommy figured out that he liked the soup better when you dip your finger in the the ketchup first and then eat a spoonful of soup. I was equally horrified and proud of his food creativity. He still isn't a fan of potatoes ("They're too smooooooshy inside Mom.").<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I anticipated that both of the boys would be anti-soup,"It's too chunky Mom! And we hate mushrooms!" Mac is beginning to trust me more and he finished his entire bowl. I loved watching him eat the mushrooms with an eye brow raise. As for Tommy, I admit, I might have bribed him with a little shopping trip to get more cozy sweat pants (this kid loves his blankets).<br />
<br />
Tommy ate his <i>entire</i> bowl. I guess I just had to wait until he was eight.<br />
<br />
What else can a rhyming baller[ina] ask for!?<br />

Last night, I asked Tommy what kind of salad dressing he would like to make from scratch as we watched Chopped on TV. He said, "Ranch and that carrot ginger stuff I like."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is what we came up with together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And he made himself an entire bowl of salad so he could have more dressing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which is a lovely, real food miracle.</div>

Big volunteering love out to my Mom, Mrs Prezell (a retired Kindergarten teacher of over 30 years who won't be staying out of the classroom anytime soon); It was her second time out to help inspire fun food education with me! Thank you so much!!<br />

Speaking of love, I channeled my friends from <a href="http://slowfood.ca/">Slow Food Canada</a> by wearing this lovely handmade apron from the <a href="https://www.eatingheritage.ca/">Eating Heritage Festival</a> in Moncton I attended last May. Aprons hold the most wonderful food + friend memories, don't you think?!<br />

The naval Cara Cara variety is darker in flesh, almost a dark pink. A delicious and surprising difference to the other varieties. Slightly sweeter, less acidic with almost a hint of a blackberry or raspberry to it. SO good and NO SEEDS!!<br />

I explained how the dark red flesh speckles was due to special antioxidant pigments found in other flowers and fruit but very uncommon in citrus. This dark red color develops at night during low temperatures and sometimes it can even show up on the outside rind!</div>

The Minneola is a cross between the tangerine and the pomelo and some people call it the "honeybell" because of it's characteristic knob at one end of the rind. Who knew!? It is the juiciest of the four varieties, the sweetest and the truest "orange" in color. Some kids thought it was the most tart out of all of the oranges. This was the variety that many tasted <i>first</i> as it was the most common looking; I believe it was probably less "risky" for them to try before the <i>new ones</i>. </div>

The Pomelo, a member of the grapefruit family, was a first taste for almost everyone, including myself. Some pomelos can grow to be the size of a watermelon and how cool for the rind to be greenish! The thick pith was very spongy and its surprising texture was a frequent comment and question thrown out by the students. Also, many kids who admitted to not normally enjoying grapefruit were pleasantly surprised that the Pumelo was sweeter. Many students shared that they liked it "the best" which was so cool and some even commented, "I don't even need sugar sprinkled on top!"<br />

The students LOVED comparing and contrasting the differences in the citrus varieties. The color and taste was so vibrantly different between the four varieties. I have to give huge props to Dan the produce manager at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JewelOscoMundeleinIL3061/">Jewel Osco</a> on Maple Ave who helped me choose these beautiful varieties. Thank you so much for your help! </div>

<b><u>Chicken and Sweet Potato Tray Bake with a Dijon Mustard Glaze </u></b><br />
<br />
1-2 Organic Sweet Potatoes sliced thin<br />
1 lb Organic Chicken thighs<br />
1/2 red onion sliced thin into half moons<br />
Dukkah seasoning (Learn more about this cool, versatile spice blend <a href="https://www.thekitchn.com/inside-the-spice-cabinet-dukkah-91659">here</a>. Found at Trader Joe's!)<br />
1.5 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tsp freshly minced rosemary)<br />
extra virgin olive oil<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9x13 glass roasting pan, drizzle a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Layer and alternate the sweet potato round and red onions and cover the bottom of the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and dried rosemary. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 min. Remove from oven and liberally season the chicken with dukkah seasoning, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil on a plate. Remove the tin foil and place a wire cooling rack on top of the hot glass pan. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the rack. Place everything stacked, back into the oven and bake for another 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Christina's Dijon Mustard Glaze</u></b><br />
1 Tbsp Ghee or Extra virgin olive oil<br />
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard<br />
1 Tbsp Whole grain mustard (or increase dijon to 3 Tbsp)<br />
3 Tbsp White wine vinegar (or white wine if not following the Whole 30).<br />
Sea salt to taste<br />
1 Tbsp Freshly minced tarragon or parsley (decrease to 1-2 tsp if using dried herbs)<br />
<br />
With about 15 min left in cooking time for the chicken, heat a small saucepan over medium low heat. Melt the butter. Add the mustard and white wine and whisk to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in the fresh herbs until well combined.<br />
<br />
Take out the chicken and unstack the rack from the pan. Place the cooked chicken thighs directly on top of the potatoes and drizzle the glaze evenly over the top of the chickens. Or, each person can glaze up their own home plate.<br />
<br />
IF you have any leftovers, make this salad for lunch or dinner the next day. Or pair it up with eggs done your way for breakfast.<br />
<br />
<b><u>A Super Sweet Potato n Chicken Salad</u></b><br />
Organic mixed greens<br />
Leftover roasted chicken (cubed or shredded) & sweet potatoes (However much you want)<br />
1/2 Avocado (flesh diced or sliced)<br />
Halved grape tomatoes<br />
Fresh basil<br />
sea salt and pepper<br />
1/2 Lemon's juice<br />
extra virgin olive oil<br />
<br />
Layer greens on a plate. Squeeze the lemon over the top with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Next layer the potatoes, chicken, avocado, tomatoes and basil.<br />

Food<br />
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
I love to eat. In fact, I've eaten every day since April 29th, 1977. And my powerful food revolution journey began in 2012; In case you're new to my story, you can catch up <a href="http://www.jamiesfoodrevolution.org/news/how-the-food-revolution-changed-our-lives/">here</a>! Over the past 6.5 years, I have been learning, cooking and teaching up a storm in homes, schools and community kitchens. Good food education = a life long passion.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
When I was 12 years old, my parents took us on our first road trip out west to Colorado to vacation with friends. I'll never forget driving into the mountains for the first time (in my parent's sweet "dust buster" mini van), listening to my super cool walkman. I remember the feeling of being swallowed into a warm blanket of rocks and pine trees. So different than driving into the city (which I also love!). The energy was so much slower, calmer, almost dreamlike. I felt enveloped in a warm, nurturing "womb" - I <i>never</i> wanted to leave. Goo goo ga ga. I remember so clearly announcing to the entire car, "That's IT! I'm living in the mountains someday! Forget flat, boring Chicago!!!” </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
I felt wonderful so high up in the mountains. More conscious, more connected to myself, to the beauty around me, to the aroma of the forest. I am ALWAYS that kid who would rather wander in the forest for hours than do anything else (even if it meant getting a little lost). It's magical being inside a forest, hiking on trail, climbing up or down a mountain. My heart sings, my face is in constant wonder. I feel truly alive. Even when I am home on the Diamond, my favorite mornings are when I look out my window and see a distant mountain range of clouds above the trees. The mountains <i>call to me </i>more than any other natural wonder.</div>

Being a former college student-athlete, I was used to intense practices, running, cardio-workouts and weight lifting but never really thought that yoga was something I would enjoy regularly or that it would give me the same kind of physical benefits. I preferred fast and "hard core." </div>

<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
A few years ago, I decided to start practicing yoga more regularly in several different studios. I had always admired yoga-ness and I was on a mission to find more grace, balance and "centeredness" in my life; I was sick of feeling like an animal on a hamster wheel running nowhere fast. I figured yoga could maybe help me slow down in my fast pitch life? Maybe, ya know, like, find that "zen" thing that everyone talks about? As I focused more of my workouts on yoga, my flexibility & strength started to grow but my ping-pong brain never seemed to settle down the way I imagined a "good yogi's" brain should. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Then I found <a href="https://www.foreveromyoga.com/">vinyasa hot yoga practice</a> a little over a year ago. I was a little shocked at how much I enjoyed it. I certainly had no idea I was capable of sweating that much! I was also surprised at how I could get my heart rate up for an entire <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BXOJ9RlgCnj/?taken-by=lindseyshifley">practice</a> AND continue breathing slow and deep. I felt my younger college athlete come out to play with my present #thisis40. A love for intense exercise was found again in something paradoxically sloooooowwwwwww. </div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">

Meditation</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Around the same time, I began my hesitant journey into meditation by following a <a href="https://chopracentermeditation.com/about-us">21 Day Mediation Course</a>. 20 minutes a day was definitely doable and a guided meditation really helped my crazy brain focus. I still wonder if I'm doing it "right." And even so, the rest of my day seems slower, more grounded, and less frenzied around managing my work & family life. The practice of meditation has become something I try to do every day like cooking and moving.</div>

Mindfulness & Food</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Last Spring, Kelsey approached me and asked if I would be interested in partnering with her for a <a href="https://allevents.in/vernon%20hills/the-mindful-eating-series/347990488969650">Mindful Eating Series</a>. It was one of my most powerful food education experiences to date because it added in a missing element: the <i>power</i> of our mind-body connection. I remember so vividly thinking to myself, "OMG this.is.it." THIS was the connection that I had found deep inside myself, and I wasn't alone. It clearly, profoundly resonated as I observed every participant's facial expression and listened to their personal food-life experience during those four amazing sessions. Without hesitation, I enrolled in the <a href="http://psychologyofeating.com/health-coach-training/">Institute for the Psychology of Eating</a> and began my education into the realms of <a href="http://psychologyofeating.com/what-is-dynamic-eating-psychology/">Dynamic Eating Psychology</a> and <a href="http://psychologyofeating.com/nutrition-training/">Mind Body Nutrition</a>. I'm officially geeking out over humanity's gut-brain connection and I've never had more fun going "back to school." </div>

Nourishing real food.<br />
Peace.<br />
Sunrising Sunsets.<br />
Flickering candlelight.<br />
Step outside.<br />
Reach inside.<br />
Mindful meditation.<br />
Evolution.<br />
The perfect bite.<br />
Transformative yoga.<br />
Gratefulness.<br />
Lingering.<br />
A full night’s rest.<br />
Restore.<br />
Blue skies.<br />
Ignition.<br />
Laughter.<br />
A full cup.<br />
Friendship.<br />
Emotion.<br />
Close your eyes.<br />
And exhale.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To the Mullies we go...</div>

Cheers to taking the lid off and <i>savoring into</i> 2018.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Sitting and slowing down at the family table is <i>always</i> good idea.<br />
Not one that I invented.<br />
But a ritual I decided to nurture & create more often.<br />
Lighting candles.<br />
Unfolding napkins.<br />
Savoring, feeling the food in my mouth.<br />
Closing my eyes when I chew.<br />
Loving and laughing with those I sit with.<br />
Lingering longer.<br />
Yes. Let's do more of that.<br />
<br />
