Turmeric reminds me of the golden sun. Living in California, one could say I’m partial to golden hues. The rhizome has long been touted for its medicinal benefits, specifically the compound curcumin, which contains powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, cruciferous cauliflower is a low-carb marvel, containing in one cup, 77% of our daily vitamin C requirement. So while this soup is hearty, satisfying and excellent alongside a crisp green salad, I feel in some ways it’s a little California sun in every spoonful.⁠

Pure beauty inside and out.⁠
Romanesco.⁠

It's no secret cauliflower is a low-carb marvel. Each cup contains 77% of your daily vitamin C & 20% of vitamin K with only 3g (net) carbs, 27 calories, and (nearly) zero fat.⁠
⁠
All this and easy on the eyes. I may be in love. 💙⁠

Resolution⁠
A couple of weeks back was the last full moon of the decade. Round & luminous it hung in the sky, it's magical glow lighting my path as I took a walk amid the twinkling holiday lights. It was one of those moments you wish you could preserve forever. I stopped, took a breath, and promised myself I’d never forget the quiet, calm around me, which by chance happened to be the antithesis of the day that had just played out.⁠
⁠
I thought about the last decade. In all honesty, the past ten years haven’t been the easiest. I entered 2010 with a healthy family at a time in life where you’ve figured things out, but still have so much ahead. Milestones seem to arrive at every turn and each is exciting and new. I had recently left my “real job” and was relishing motherhood with playdates, parties, and countless hours with my young children.⁠
⁠
In many ways, these were the halcyon days before the storm. Within the year our business would falter, my husband would be diagnosed with Meniere’s disease, and the perfect always-sunny life I had grown accustomed to would crumble before my eyes...⁠
