    Christine's Planting Veggies For Fall


    fallgarden.png

    I love planting this time of year
    because it helps usher in new flavors, scents, nutrients and tastes into my
    kitchen. For those of you who might be thinking you can’t grow because you live
    in a small space or don’t own your home, no worries, I’ve got tips for you too!
    We just moved into a new house and will be planting into pots this season!

    Growing at home comes with a
    plethora of advantages, but my fave is being able to enjoy round after round of
    my favorite fresh greens, lettuce and root veggies. All will easily grow in
    containers and pots. Container gardens are awesome for new green thumbs, those
    trying to maximize space and a great way to exhibit vital energy in your decor
    scheme!

    If you have space and time,
    raised beds might be an option for you as well. When I go on a Garden Eats run
    to help a client decide, we always suggest a raised bed option when space is
    available. The unique So-Cal landscape allows for so many raised-bed and
    graduated feature gardens.

    Nutrient-Dense Soil=Happy Plants=Healthy
    YOU!

    My number one reason to suggest
    growing in containers and raised beds is that you can control the
    nutrient-balance of your soil. Planting into the ground isn’t a terrible idea,
    but you might not know what’s been lurking beneath or what can make it’s way in
    through the ground water. You’ll be happy to hear that the supplies to get
    started are actually quite basic and easy to procure:

    ●     
    topsoil

    ●     
    compost

    ●     
    non-treated containers or Foodmap containers (pictured)

    ●     
    Ho, large shovel & hand shovel

    ●     
    watering can or hose with flow control

    ●     
    boards, nails and hammer if building a raised bed

    ●     
    organic seeds or plants of your choice (marigolds if
    planting a raised bed)

    What Should I Plant?

    Now that you’ve got all of your
    tools, let’s decide what you can plant. Today we’re going to focus on planting
    into containers, but if you want to learn more about raised-beds, you can find
    me here.
    While we enjoy a great variety of produce in our kitchen, I like to grow what
    we enjoy eating the most of. Another great way to grow is by choosing
    financially- choose to grow whatever ends up costing you the most at the
    markets.

    With these things in mind, here
    are my faves on-rotation right now:

    ●     
    red lettuce

    ●     
    leafy green lettuce

    ●     
    romaine

    ●     
    swiss chard

    ●     
    cucumbers

    ●     
    kale

    ●     
    micro-greens

    ●     
    carrots

    ●     
    beets

    ●     
    turnips

    ●     
    garlic

    How To Grow C A R R O T S

    Carrots will grow about ¼ to ½
    the size of the pot they are placed in. You can grow a variety of orange, white
    or purple- all do well in So-Cal. You’ll want to plant these now. They look
    nice in different size pots and arranged along a patio.

    To Plant:

    ●     
    Mix fresh light soil with sandy soil thoroughly and
    almost fill your pot

    ●     
    Dig in about one inch, fill in with compost, drop
    seeds and cover

    ●     
    Carrots like full sun and good drainage so be
    mindful when choosing pots

    ●     
    Water every day early in the am or later in the day,
    but not in high sun as the        leaves will burn

    ●     
    Harvest late in the day for the most balanced taste

    With so many growing choices,
    please let us know what your fave veggies and fruits are so we can highlight
    those growing tips for you here!

    Have a lovely weekend!

    --- Christine!

    Move over eggs. This tofu scramble is comin’ in hot! 🍳
Just 5 minutes and you’ve got breakfast. So often I get asked for breakfast ideas when transitioning to a plant based diet. This is a great egg sub and is savory and high in healthy protein. 
1 cube medium hard tofu 
1 tsp turmeric 
Salt and pepper to taste. 
1/2 Tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil 
In a frying pan sauté on medium high heat for 5 minutes. Stirring often. Add garlic or onions or cheese. I added spinach to mine. 😋

    Let’s get real : Succeeding at anything takes discipline. Even manifesting takes discipline. Often clients say that they tried this diet or that diet. And they can’t seem to reach their health goals or heal or lose weight. And every time we take a deep look it’s because there really isn’t the discipline they think there is! The same way a fish doesn’t see water we have a hard time recognizing our own self sabotaging habits and patterns. 
I’m not talking about restriction or lack or counting calories or counting fat grams. That’s old-school. Don’t confuse discipline with restriction.
P.S. this my first attempt at trying out trending audios😜🤷‍♀️

    Damn this combo of garlic, ginger and tahini over sautéed potatoes is 💣. I love tahini dressing because of how creamy it gets without using cashews or dairy products. I first sautéed the potatoes in vegan butter. I added a few shallots for fun. THAT’S IT. If you cut them thin enough they cook in just 5-6 minutes on medium high heat. I added raw kale to them for added fiber and minerals. 
Dressing 
2 cloves garlic
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon
2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, 
1 heaping Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp water
big pinch sea salt. 
blend it all together until creamy and chunk-free. 
Enjoy

    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with
    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with me when I was younger. 
I used to think perfection was actually THE goal in life. Literally that’s what I thought - be your best, do your best, be the nicest, get the best grades, look your best, date the best, eat the best, do no wrong, don’t argue, be happy and makes others happy, give give give…and if I didn’t accomplish those things I was very concerned. I wondered what was wrong with me and punish myself. I know…laughable right? But nobody told me otherwise🤷‍♀️ 
This is what a version of codependency looks like: perpetual state of feeling not good enough, constant state of fear or fight or flight…exhausting, defeating and eventually leads to dis-ease. A victim in almost all areas of your life: “Why is this person being awful to me, why am I sick when others are well, this isn’t fair”. 
After deep healing and self exploration, I clearly see how my ways of looking at life, my own actions (people pleasing or having no boundaries), attract the abusers, users, haters, broken people; I attracted people to treat me poorly. 
So, this is what is meant by “taking accountability” for your life and understanding why certain things are happening “to you”. 
Not everybody is supposed to like you or agree with you or UNDERSTAND YOU. But taking it PERSONAL (becoming a victim) is your choice. Being Treated with complete disrespect is THEIR choice. Playing IN THE game of TOXICITY however is also your choice.
Freedom is attainable. Healing is attainable. Harmony and peace are attainable. It just requires radical self awareness. Today I choose to break the rules that were never there to begin with.
