This one skillet take on Nicoise comes together in no time and packs a nutritional punch with the nutrient dense farro as its base. You can dice the shallots while the pan heats up and then prep the rest as the farro simmers. Super easy for a great weeknight dinner.

I love Kabocha Squash in this recipe for its rich creaminess, but you can also use Buttnernut if Kabocha isn't available. Either way, it's a delicious, easy and grounding meal with my special 6 Taste Spice Blend.

I learned to make Hoppin' John when I lived in Virginia and fell in love with the annual tradition. This veggie version is still full of flavor and a tasty way to bring luck your way.

This fall salad is warm and comforting with the backdrop of roasted cabbage highlighted with the uplifting zing of an easy citrus vinaigrette.

Got zucchini? Who doesn't this time of year? This is a super tasty, light, and fresh way to get it in your belly. The lime is a great summer pitta cooler and softens up the zucchini making it raw-ish, but not raw, and easier to digest (not to mention delicious). The mint and rice are both cooling as well. Pumpkin seeds can be heating, so don't over do them on a hot day, but they do give a great crunch to this yummy and easy dish.

I used to make peach salsa from juicy Palisade Peaches every year, but once I delved into the waters of Ayurveda I discovered that tomatoes, as a nightshade, are rajasic, acidic and irritating to both Vata and Pitta. Bye bye peach salsa. This fun recipe makes me not miss that salsa so much, with seared peaches in an avocado salsa.

Black Lentils (urad dal) are wonderful for the kidneys and when sprouted are a complete protein. I sub them in for cooked black beans in these tacos. Sprouting the lentils neutrilizes phytic acid, similar to cooking, making them easier to digest. You could also sub in mung beans, which are a wonderfully digestible protein as well. These yummy cooling tacos are full of fiber and vitamin C.
