fftf: happy new year! + inspo ?

Happy 2021! Phew, we made it to here.

I'm taking a break from writing new content this week, but wanted to send some quick inspiration in case you need it! I love love love the turn of a new year, so here are some ideas to help usher in a happy, healthy 2021...

To cook/eat:

If you are cold or under the weather or just want a nourishing, tasty drink, make some magic cold elixir!
If you're craving soup, try my minestrone or ginger squash!
If you're ready for some crunchy, refreshing veg, try the two recipes people begged me for in November - winter squash with garlicky tahini sauce and my colorful winter salad

To think about/write about:

Last year I wrote about my New Year's Reflection Practice. I've been moving away from goals a bit because I realized I like being more flowy about my life, but I really love my practice of choosing a yearly theme, so check it out in that article if you're into reflection/intention setting/goals, etc!

Here's to HOPE for an easier, healthier 2021!

Love,
Jess

PS. I'm taking a break from writing new content through January 6th, but will be back to normal on January 8. I've barely been posting there lately, but will also be taking break from Instagram through January 8, if not longer. That said I'm super excited for new things coming your way in 2021!!

If you like this email, it would mean so much to me if you'd forward it along to your favorite food-loving friends. Wannabe subscribers can sign up here. Thanks for reading!

Hi, I'm Jess! I help health-conscious, busy people transform their cooking from chore to lifestyle through intuitive cooking, which I teach through online classes, free content, coaching and more. This is my newsletter, Food for Thought Fridays, where I share highly actionable tips and inspiration to help you cook more intuitively (which makes cooking feel easier and SO much more fun!). Once a month, I share a recipe that's really worth making, and I only share those with my email subscribers.

I currently work + live on land that is the unceded territory of the Ramaytush Ohlone. And I can't wait to eat at Cafe Ohlone when they reopen someday! Check out this article about them.
