Stunning is an understatement!

Fossil fuels are not the cause of the ecological crisis, the economy is.

Fall in Southern California: a magical blend of lingering summer warmth and the crisp chill of winter. I love the incredible medley of fall produce in SoCal….from crisp apples to sun-kissed tomatoes and citrus. Our autumn harvest is a delicious blend of summer & winter. From the last rays of summer sweetness to the hearty warmth of winter delights. Enjoying the best of both worlds! ⁣

It’s been a minute since I last posted a recipe. This one was worth the wait 😉

Corn Chowder — Bite Sized Living Mimi's Cafe, corn chowder, plant based. It’s warm, sweet, savoy, basically the perfect comfort food.

I begin every day with gratitude and 36 ounces of celery juice. My sweet husband makes it for me 💚

Gratitude opens you up to things you might otherwise take for granted and reminds you everyday is a gift 🎁 (It doesn’t always feel like it, but it’s better than the alternative).

Celery juice supports your liver and is anti inflammatory. Inflammation is the precursor to all disease. If your liver isn’t healthy, neither are you. Your liver is responsible for purifying your blood, metabolizing your food, storing vitamins, minerals & glycogen. Plus it converts your thyroid hormones.

Earth Day 2022 🌎 
 
Earlier this month we went to Joshua Tree. Where 2 very distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave & the Colorado, collide.🌵🌸 🌼 
 
Joshua trees look like something straight out of a Dr. Suess book!  
 
Visiting Joshua Tree national park became much more popular after U2’s album Joshua Tree in 1987 (fun fact, that was my very first cd. Yes, I said cd). 💿 🎶  
 
Joshua Trees will be all but extinct by 2070 without swift climate action. That’s very sad considering they’ve survived 2.5 million years in an extremely inhospitable environment. 🌵Most live up to 200 years. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 
 
 

It took FOREVER but I finally have tomatoes!! 🍅 😃 🍅 😃 🍅

So far, I’ve used onion, bell pepper, carrots, celery, tomatoes (along with okra I had) for veggie gumbo. I baked potatoes & steamed broccoli, carrots & zucchini. ⁣

What would you make?
