Happy May Day! 🌼 Today is also known as Belta

Happy May Day! 🌼

Today is also known as Beltane, the old Gaelic celebration that marks the start of summer.

Beltane means “bright fire,” and celebrates the sun’s return and fertility in the season ahead. ☀️

One of my favorite Beltane rituals is the May Pole dance, a three-dimensional marvel in a world characterized by two-dimensional screens and division.

Coming together to dance the maypole - to weave a communal work of he(art) - was the balm my small but mighty village needed to march forth into the world. 💃

I encourage you to find ways to come together with your people and your neighbors. To celebrate the earth beneath your feet and breathe new magic into your relationships. 🌬️✨

These rebellious acts of joy ripple outward. 🌸🔥

Happy New Year!!!

There’s nothing quite like a global family reunion to celebrate the New Year, with Aunt Luwei’s Chinese dumplings (typically served for the Chinese Lunar New Year to bring good luck!). 🥟🥂🧧

So grateful for my wildly international family and the way my own parents and relatives introduce me to new foods and traditions.

Eating together and hearing their stories is one of my favorite things ever! 🌏😍

If you want to try making dumplings, Luwei’s recipe is in my book #SeasonalFamilyAlmanac, available on Amazon and everywhere else you buy books! I’ll also be sharing her recipe in an upcoming newsletter - you can subscribe at the link above☝️.

Why not bake a cake for every celebration, big or small?! 🎂

Am truly impressed with this kids creations these days! This one was demolished by her friends at the playground. 🛝

When Cora bakes, she doesn’t follow a recipe, but she tries to remember to add the following:

- Flour(s)
- Sugar (or honey / maple syrup, though I usually don’t let those disappear in her experiments because I can’t guarantee they’ll be edible)
- Something to make it rise (baking powder, baking soda)
- Pinch of salt
- Additional ingredients and flavorings (sometimes this includes chia seeds 😍 or nutritional yeast 😂)
- Liquid (milk)
- Eggs (but if we’re out she’s made chia-eggs, flax-eggs, or used applesauce + oil)
- Fat (her go-to is melted butter)
- Decoration (frosting, anything else acceptable)

Baking experiments aren’t the tidiest activity but if you let your kids start early, by 6 they just might be baking cakes - and cleaning up!!! 🙌

Galettes are one of my favorite baked dishes to make, and a perfect “last-minute” dish for the holidays.

They are made with a rustic, freeform crust (I use my favorite pie dough recipe!) wrapped around your filling of choice: sweet or savory.

My dear friend @shantillypicnic of @talulaspizza first introduced me to this French pastry, and for a while there, I was inventing all kinds of fillings for the dough.

A memorable version was with wild fennel and strawberries collected on a hike w Bobby in Muir Woods National Park! 🍓🌾

This variation has stewed apples with cinnamon, which is delicious with a dollop of yogurt and drizzled with maple syrup. Hello, breakfast! ☀️☕️

I also love making variations with roasted squash or spinach and ricotta.

I hope you try making one, soon! And if you have, I’d love to hear what kind 👂

The DECEMBER Meal Plan dropped today and let me tell you… it is tantalizing 🤤! (Link in bio ☝️)

The recipes range from warming and hearty, to fresh and seasonal - and all of them can dress up a holiday spread. 🎄🕯️🕎

I’m super jazzed to be including a recipe from @turshen’s spankin’ new book *What Goes With What* - a gem if you need a blueprint for feeling empowered to make everyday magic with common ingredients in your fridge. The recipe is for simple and versatile “Beef, Spinach & Feta Meatballs”, and available to all free newsletter subscribers.

*** If you’re not a paid subscriber, you can unlock the meal plan as an early gift from moi 🎁!

If you’re making the salmon, don’t forget to snag the 30% discount code from the BEST salmon in the world at @evas.wild (in the September Meal Plan) 🐟.

You can read all about the recipes in my newsletter, including an amazing hack for easier Crispy Potato Latkes (Hannukah is on Christmas Day this year!).

I hope you dig in 🍴🍷😘
