I highly recommend you go check out the list and follow every blog that is on it if you are not already. So many amazing people sharing their love for yes delicious plant based food but also Macrobiotic studies to understand the world and the interactions we have with food, emotions, people, the world.

Winter is a time to keep things simple. and this winter food is no exception for me. with all the holidays in the winter with all the fun delicious food. I make a point to add some simple comforting meals in my diet.  A balanced meal for me is one that contains various elements, a meal that checks all the boxes. Such as whole grain, leafy green vegetables, root vegetables, sea-vegetables, beans, and something fermented like pickles.
