Kabocha squash pie
I LOVE pumpkin pie, but I actually think kabocha squash pie tastes better! What could be better than a dessert that is basically a vegetable dish? 🙂 I’ve been making this recipe and refining it for years. I love how it’s naturally sweet, but not over-the-top, finding the perfect balance with the spice. Granted, I am an herbalist so it is on the spiced side! You can always cut back on some of the spices if you find it to be a bit too much.

Herbal bone broth
There is nothing better than herbal bone broth on cold days! (You can also leave the bones out for a veggie version, of course!) I love making a big batch and keeping it in the fridge. After my morning tea, I heat up a cup of broth, add sea salt, and sip it through the morning. My whole body relaxes as the nutrients pour in. I find it extremely grounding. You can also use broth to add nutrients and depth of flavor to anything else you are cooking, for example, as a base for soups, rice, beans, or lentils. One easy idea is to save your kitchen scraps in a…
