I’ve had avocado toast before, but this is a new and better spin on what most people think of. In this recipe, the avocado is the main ingredient. Top it with an egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, and breakfast is served.
My garden did really well last summer. As a result, I have had an abundance of butternut squash that I’ve needed to use. Recently, I stumbled onto this recipe that proved to be a hit with a group of folks I had for an herbal workshop. It was so attractive in the dish, how could it not be tasty too? Eat the rainbow…this dish checks that off! Enjoy!

Mushrooms have moved up in the culinary space with their many uses! Mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, and lions mane are showing up at farmer’s markets, restaurants, and even perhaps your kitchen table!
At a recent stroll through a farmer’s market, I was captivated by the wonderful display of medicine that lay before my eyes! Since COVID, I’ve battled off and on with brain fog. I have found lions mane mushrooms to really be a supportive ally in this regard.

Lentils are a staple in my house. As a vegetarian, lentils provide me with a good source of protein and fiber that my body needs. This is soup season, and I’m loving it. Warm and nourishing, soups can be a side or the main event. This recipe calls for butternut squash, which is loaded with nutrients, as well as, fresh spinach that added at the end. Feel free to leave it a little chunky or blend it until it’s to the consistency you wish.
Here is a great snack when you need an extra boost! I first made these when I was trying to quit my sugar addiction. The original recipe calls for chocolate chips, but this version omits that ingredient. Honestly, I don't miss them. They seem sweet enough with the honey.
I have the luxury of purchasing local honey. Mud-E-Acres is only a mile from my house and the honey is wonderful! If you have the opportunity to acquire local honey at your farmer's market, consider doing so. Benefits of local honey include:
Flax seeds are packed full of nutrition. A good source of protein and fiber, it's best to use ground flax seed. It's easier for the body to digest. The whole seed will pass through the body without all the nutritional benefits. Chia seeds is a strange little beast that has been gaining popularity in diet circles. It's also packed with protein and fiber, as well as selenium, which may help to prevent heart disease and cancer.
Stir all ingredients together and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll into 1- inch balls and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
