food, food, food

wonderful good food....
Plain and simple....
Wow,  real fresh whole grain rice, super fresh veggies and azuki beans....... so simple and so good.
Sometimes the simple things in life are the best to focus on for one's happiness.
The K.I.S.S principle- (keep it simple sweetie:)

I have slowly been shifting my diet toward a macrobiotic way of eating and cooking for over a year.

First cutting out dairy-- reduction in migraines,
then cutting out most flour and gluten products--reduction in stomach pains, and ability to eat tomatoes again without joint pain,
then cutting out most meats-- more energy, again less joint pain,

I needed to really shift in how I cooked-- I didn't know what to do!

Having spent two weeks at the Kushi Institute helped with my cooking skills, recipes and an easy way of thinking about meal planning.
My stay at Kushi was an interesting one, however the focus for this blog entry is simple....the food!
My all time favorites were.....
Millet with cauliflower;
Fish over Leeks;
and anything with Daikon radish!

The teachers were great:)
Half way through my first Kushi week, I realized  that a wonderful food blog I had discovered in the Fall was written by one of the Kushi teachers, Chris. His blog, six flavors.blogspot.com has lots of great recipes.  However, the love he puts into his cooking, one has to experience yourself:)
