Spring Green Foods

​Green foods are calling out to us. Can you “hear” them?
After months of living slowly and more quietly, keeping our inner fire with sweet, starchy sustenance, it’s time to wake up. Get moving, step outside, accept the gifts of plants and feel the renewed energy cursing through your body and soul
Our bodies don’t need punishing cleanses, our spirits don’t need to be crushed with guilt. Tender care and joy will grow a healthier human.
Handfuls of wild flavors go a long way.
My take on the traditional shepherd’s pie is filled with lentils and young nettle leaves, carrots and chives, sprinkled with ramps (leaves only, friends) and wild garlic. I suppose it would be more accurate to call it a forager’s or gardener’s pie.
