Tamari Sweet Potato Wedges with Rosemary Recipe

By Kathy Casey | Published January 25, 2024

These make great appetizers for dinner parties, but they’re also a great side dish. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, tamari, with its salty flavor, is associated with the Water element and the Kidney organ, providing a blood-tonifying effect and aiding digestion. Sweet potatoes, with their sweet flavor, nourish the Earth element, tonifying Qi and Blood, stabilizing blood sugar, and offering a moistening effect. Rosemary, known for its pungent flavor, aligns with the Metal element, activating Qi and promoting circulation, while also potentially clearing dampness. When combined, these ingredients create a harmonious balance of flavors and energetics in the diet, supporting overall health.  continue reading »

IS A VOTE FOR THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BECOME.

~~ James Clear

Happy Friday to all my precious people!!!

Snow is gently falling outside today, reminding us we are still in the midst of Winter.  

Winter is about going deep inside to prepare for the reanimation of life once the Spring season arrives.  This cold season appears still and quiet, but if we stop and consider all that is happening below the surface, there is much activity being generated!  The seeds deep in the soil are finding their roots, getting ready to burst up and out in vibrant colors as Nature organizes herself in the coming months.  Everything relies on something, and the smallest activity impacts the largest levels during the ongoing cycles.  continue reading »

Happy Blessed New Year to all my precious people!!

We are in the middle of January, the coldest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and just past the first New Moon (January 11) of 2024. This is the deep yin of Winter, when Nature shows us the ancient patterns and cycles of the Earth.  It is a time of quiet, a time of repose, a season of reflection and incubation.  Nature is gathering up resources, from the soil, from our dreams, from the inspiration of conversations, or music, or poetry.  We are in the midst of opportunities – to shed what no longer serves us, to lean into the callings of our heart and soul.  continue reading »
