A few months back I’d lost my creative stride. Inspiration was no where to be found. Someone mentioned that my sacral chakra could be out of balance. That felt right to me. So in addition to meditating and having daily dance party breaks, I did some reading on what foods could help right my sacral ship. I began adding more butternut squash, carrots, oranges and sweet potatoes to my diet. Once upon a time I found sweet potatoes to be utterly boring. They brought up memories of sticky, unappealing thanksgiving side dishes and gym-rat bros who only talk about “leg day” and survive solely on chicken, broccoli and tah-dah, sweet potatoes. That’s right, I thought sweet potatoes were a bunch of basic bitches. The results however have me feeling anything but. Ideas are pouring in. I’m coming up with new dance moves and staying up too late drawing. I also feel more..open. Patient even. Color me converted. I just love it when the solution is food.
Day 14: Sweet potato and mushroom hash, sautéed chard and broccoli on the side + farm egg
