Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.
I love cooking, and using food as medicine. This year, my kitchen projects slowed a bit. I needed to be at rallies, calling my congress members and resisting the hatred that has escalated in our community. Still, my garden gave me an abundance of squashes and sage. aprilcrowell.com/myrecipes/ro...

Pea soup?
Oh, yes! Peas are high in minerals, vitamin C, D, protein and folic acid. And simply delicious in bright soup. This recipe helps counter Wind patterns - headaches, allergies, anger, frustration, colds, congestion, flu and viruses, and inflammation.

When my daughter, Clara returned to Ireland to start her PhD, she lived in a small flat without an oven or microwave — just a single counter top burner. I played around with my Black Bean Brownie recipe to create a steamed version. Turned out fantastic.

A lot of folks came back from rallies with coughs and congestion. It's getting cold in some areas, we still have colds, flu, and Covid to manage.. One of my most recommended and easiest to use kitchen remedies for coughs and congestion is simply orange peel.
