An egg for every pot…when you’re boiling grains, throw in a few unpeeled eggs for the last 8 minutes of cook time. Don’t worry: The grains won’t taste eggy and the hardboiled eggs won’t taste grainy

Inquire Within: Authentic Self
These questions make for enriching dinner table conversation, but they can be equally illuminating if you simply ask them of yourself. I stumbled onto the idea of asking big questions because I needed them myself. They drive our growth, and we can come back to them year after year.
- How do you actually find your authentic self?
- Who are you, anyway?
- Are you what your parents instilled in you?
- Are you what everybody else told you?”

Cauliflower Coconut Curry Soup
My spouse will tell you best cauliflower soup is Re Re Drummond’s. Just make it just like she does and all will be right on a cold winter’s day. Well, today something got into me. Perhaps it was my educational lab. I was inspired by both my students and my spouse’s text messages, which in short were “love the new chefs, but why can’t the new kids just cook and do what the fuck I ask them to cook!” (I am paraphrasing here big time).

Commune with Nature
Did your parents constantly insist you go play outside as a kid? They had a point; research has shown that spending time in nature boosts the immune system and improves overall well-being. To add a mindfulness element to your nature exploration, consider forest bathing. The Japanese practice involves taking a slow stroll through nature, actively experiencing the scents and sounds around you. No forest in close proximity? “Bathe” in a park or even your backyard, and if those aren’t available, bringing nature into your home has a similar effect. “Choose an air-purifying plant, like ivy or aloe, and during stressful moments take a short break to simply observe it, breathe gently, and clear the mind.”
