Warming & Grounding
Warming and Grounding recipes are perfect when you’re feeling cold, your skin and eyes feel dry, you are constipated and bloated, your joints feel stiff and cracky. They are also suitable for when your mind feels scattered; you are overthinking, anxious, and in need of nourishing, lubricating, and easy-to-digest food.
Time & Season
These recipes are wonderful to prepare year round, but they are especially suitable for Fall and Winter, due to their warming qualities, and earthy nature.
