Art Every Day Month has been awesome! If you haven't a chance to check out my daily drawings, you can view them all here. It's defintiely got me thinking outside of the box and trying new things! So, as Thanksgiving approaches here's my recipe for glazed carrots....a lovely Thanksgiving side. I hope you enjoy!

It's always good to remember that the one weapon we always have in our arsenal for self-care is the food we put in our bodies. Food is such an amazing tool, don't think? What we feed ourselves literally fuels our energy levels, directly impacts the appearance of our bodies and greatly influences our minds. For something we do several times a day...I'd say it's worth putting a little dedicated time and creative energy towards since the payoff is huge.

At the end of August I had the chance to go to an awesome retreat that was hosted by the Good Life Project. If you haven't heard of Jonathan Fields and his organization, they're definitely worth checking out. It was quite an inspiring weekend where I had the opportunity to hear some trail blazing speakers talk on what a good life means to them, attend some information-packed workshops on how to run & sustain an authentic business and I had the chance to meet other fellow meditators, wellness and creativity enthusiasts. Best of all there was time built in for self-care through daily yoga, meditation, crafts, talking with other kindred spirits, playing and eating three fresh meals a day.

Since I'm not here for Thanksgiving this year, I thought I'd share some recipes from one of my favorite blogs, Oh She Glows! She has a great step by step, 3-Course, Vegan & Gluten Free Holiday Menu that looks pretty good...I've never made these particular recipes, but all the recipes I have tried from her site have been DELICIOUS...so I have high hopes for these as well.

As you read this, IIndian Sprouted Mung Beans will already be in India...but I thought as the holiday season approaches and our diets get a little wacky, that I would share one of my favorite dishes that always seems hit the spot the for me when I want something fresh and full of prana...Sprouted Mung Beans---Indian Style!
