Ayurveda

I've been sucking at follow through this summer. A series of unfortunate events and my reaction to them have left me completely off kilter.

I'm eating some gluten and some dairy, but doing pretty well with the rest. I've gotten several books out on Ayurveda and it seems as though I have a Kapha unbalance. I'm slow to rise, slow to lose weight and oily in general. Advice for me has been to lay off of nuts, cow dairy and wheat and I've been pretty ok at it.

Mom and I are doing a pizza night each week- it's something we instituted years ago and a really nice way for us to connect and dine together without getting into trouble with random food.

Here's some of what I've been eating:

Sprouts for kitchari

Braised Brussels sprouts with nectarines

Leek and beet soup-before I puréed it.

Snow pea, onion and garden green omelette. I killed the one piece flip- woot!

Barley

Apple, pear and rhubarb compote... Sooo good.
