Recipe of the Week

I first discovered the Crispy Sunchoke & Quinoa Salad with Kale Sprouts, Dried Cherries, and Mint recipe as one of my Hello Fresh meals. It was my introduction to sunchokes, and I'm so grateful they are now part of my repertoire.

Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes, are a nutty, slightly sweet tuber that come from the root of wild sunflowers. When thinly sliced and roasted, they become delightfully crispy.

This salad is bursting with flavors and textures. Enjoy!

I picked up a copy of Radically Content this week and I am LOVING IT! Following is an excerpt that will give you the flavor of what the book is about:

'We don't need to be in constant pursuit of our 'best' lives. Our most 'impressive' lives. A life that is better than someone else's. We do not need to always be hustling. We do not need to spend our life in pursuit of achievements that have no real value to us internally.

For me, the pursuit is in having the freest life. The most expressed. The least held back. I want to be healed. I want to be radically content and radically satisfied. I don't want this world to tell me my worth. I want to derive my worth from inside my own soul. I'm not trying to live the best life that people can aspire to. I am not here to trade in jealousy for profit. I want to be free.

And I want you to be free.

The goal is to be the most expressed version of yourself. You should feel free to jump in the pool with your bathing suit on, to wear sleeveless dresses, to love with abandon, to create the art that lights you up, to construct and build an entire life that is so you, there's no room for comparison.

You deserve to love your life so much that it doesn't matter who affirms or denies you.

You deserve to find what makes you happy, what brings you joy.

You deserve to feel free, healed, whole.

You deserve to feel your feelings.

You deserve to not let fear stop you.

You deserve to feel so radically satisfied and content in your own life that you couldn't care less whether anyone approves or disapproves of you.

Unlearn whoever you were taught to be, and become exactly who you are.

Write your own map. And live wildly, completely free.'
