Okay, it’s the new year, we had a few parties, with some laughs, rest, and plenty of fun foods. Swell.

Now we are due back at work or school in a couple of days, and the snow could only postpone it by a day or so.

It’s time to get back on track, back on the path to great health.

1. Soak some brown rice, then cook it with a pinch of sea salt or a stamp-sized piece of kombu
2. Stir-fry some root veggies (carrots, rutabega, parsnips, etc.) and some other veggies (onion, kale, corn, mushrooms)
alonside some other healthy foods (tofu, almonds, sea veg., etc.) in healthy oil (sesame or safflower) with a bit
of shoyu towards the end (a bit of ginger juice or lemon juice at the very end adds a nice touch!)
3. Serve with gomashio (sesame seed and seasalt, get it at whole foods or make it yourself) 4. Wait :30 before dessert
5. For dessert, poach some apples or pears in apple juice or soymilk, with a dash of sea salt and some cinnamon etc. 6. End the meal with some bancha twig tea (whole foods, trader joes or online)

A good meal leads to more good meals, and lower stress, and the urge to move your body!!

Happy 2010
