I’m so excited because is gonna energize us and it’s Sunday January 6th and I just talked with Lindsey Jean Hard yesterday who wrote the book Cooking With Scraps!

Cooking with Scraps: Turn Your Peels, Cores, Rinds, and Stems into Delicious Meals

Hi everyone! I’m glad you got a chance to talk to Lindsay Jean and I interviewed her and it was really valuable. I have the cookbook in hand! Today, I want to share what I am up to in this transition the holidays I’ve been making things like

• polenta
• And craving cooling herbs
• mint
• cilantro
• coconut! Shredded coconut and coconut milk

recognizing my body’s wanting to cool off from the inflammatory foods of the holidays! IDK if anyone is experiencing that.

I can totally relate except in a different sense. I was really good during the holidays, it’s more of an after the holidays problem.

I went home, had a great holiday with my family! I hadn’t been the four of us, my parents and my brother and I, and especially with my brother and I and just thankful to soak up all of that love! And maybe a little more gluten and sugar then I normally eat

my body was really feeling that for a while

I got home still wanted

nourishing foods

I had this cornmeal from Wicked Good Farm

polenta!

Last night we had friends over, and so I put a whole chicken in a crock pot

chicken had been with

• tomatoes
• onions
• peppers

put that over polenta!

We also made polenta fries!

I’m happy to tell how to make those things

using organic cornmeal and having something different then just flour is really nice!

I feel like I get that nourishment without getting inundated with sweet things!

How do you make polenta fries? I just saw something on Facebook about vegan quinoa nuggets!

There was a restaurant in Ann Arbor that had really good polenta fries! I think it was Grizzly Peak Brewing Company.

Make polenta like you would

1 cup fine to medium cornmeal to 4 cups of water you can...
