Mushroom and Cottage Cheese Pasta Recipe

By Kathy Casey | Published May 16, 2024

This low-effort, intensely flavored pasta dish highlights the earthiness of mushrooms. First, the mushrooms are cooked to release moisture and to concentrate their flavor, then they are puréed into a velvety sauce. Cremini mushrooms are an excellent choice because they are accessible and have a bold mushroom taste, but other varieties also work. For even more mushroom flavor, add a few shiitake mushrooms or a small handful of rehydrated dried porcinis. Cottage cheese is perhaps the most under appreciated of the supermarket fresh cheeses. The curds melt through this pasta to add a feathery light, mildly sweet creaminess.  continue reading »

The Origins of You

By Kathy Casey | Published May 9, 2024

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul.  Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.

~~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Greetings to all my precious people!!  

The month of May, known as a time of transitions and celebrations, continues to grace us with warmer temperatures as Nature blooms with vibrant colors and sweet fragrances.  The New moon that rose in the sign of Taurus The Bull on May 7th ushered in a period of abundance and good fortune, all thanks to the Jupiter-Venus conjunction it featured.  Can you feel any of the shift in your own life this week?  Aside from triggering a new lunar cycle, new moons also signal new beginnings and a fresh start.

Pea Egg-Drop Macaroni Soup Recipe

By Kathy Casey | Published May 9, 2024

Hetty Lui McKinnon’s love for macaroni soup runs deep. It’s an evocative dish, a reminder of her mother’s devotion to cooking hearty breakfasts every morning and the quick lunches they would share when it was just the two of them at home. This version was inspired by her mother’s recipe, but McKinnon’s version includes egg drop, which not only thickens the broth, but also adds a richer finish. She recommends topping it with her Umami Crisp, which you can find in her book, Tenderheart.  continue reading »

Using Acupuncture to Manage Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases can prove to be intricate and seemingly unsolvable puzzles for many people. And statistics prove this to be true as millions worldwide are impacted by autoimmune diseases ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel disease, and even Parkinson’s disease. Conventional medicine can diagnose 100 different autoimmune conditions, however the treatments offered don’t completely resolve the issues associated with the disease and in extreme cases, no treatment is available at all. And yet, in the midst of all these medical challenges that autoimmune diseases present, acupuncture emerges as a promising ally, offering relief to those grappling with these often-complex health conditions. continue reading »

LISTEN to Live in Alignment

By Kathy Casey | Published May 2, 2024

Every life is an unprecedented experiment. This life is mine alone. 

So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they’ve never been. 

There is no map. We are all pioneers.

Greetings to all my precious people!!

The month of May has graced us with warmer temperatures and sunny skies that break through the clouds after misty mornings filled with birdsongs and bunnies.  There is a great amount of exuberance in Nature, as well as in the Universe with planetary shifts and alignments happening according to their cyclical journeys.  Qi – the vital life force that flows through each of us – also animates the earth and the cosmos.  Seasons change, but the cyclical Qi movement within those seasons remains the same.  By understanding patterns within the environment and individuals, Chinese Medicine helps to promote harmony and balance for optimal health and well-being.  continue reading »
