RITUALS | NEW HOME
We have been packing, moving, road tripping and unpacking for the past week. Leaving New York City is not an easy task. Love it or hate it, NYC is a force that leaves an indelible imprint on anyone it touches. I am lucky to have been touched and shaped and molded by it.
Road tripping, with a city as grand as New York in your rearview mirror is no small feat. It kind of made me lose my appetite a little. It didn't help that the way down to Florida was littered with no good food options. Its a good thing that we stopped in DC to eat with lifelong friends and in Charleston and Savannah to try their culinary fare.
Tonight I am unpacking only the kitchen in my apartment on Miami Beach. And I wanted to spend my first night making myself a healthy and satisfying meal. I skipped meals today which is something I try not to do. So for dinner I made myself a soul satisfying bowl of roasted brussels sprouts, beets, sweet potato and a poblano pepper. And in the spirit of using all of the veggies, I sautéed the beet stems. They are also very detoxifying and I feel like I could use the liver (and spirit) cleansing.
I threw my new favorite culinary gem in there - black garlic. But just some roasted veggies will do the trick for you and your family. The important part was to bestow upon this house - and new time in my life - my intention of nurturing my body.
Bon appetite!
