There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of homemade soup on a cold dreary day.  My sister, Elizabeth, recently gave me. Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian cookbook & I  decided to try making the Madras curried tomato soup this afternoon for lunch.  I didn’t have all the ingredients so I had to improvise a bit but I was quite pleased with the result.   Delicious!  I paired it with a goat cheese quesadilla.    As my soup simmered on the stove,  I was able to enjoy the aroma.   When the soup was ready, I ladled it into a favorite bowl  and savored each spoonful.  When I was finished, I felt pleasantly full and satisfied.   Is there a recipe you have been wanting to try?    Making and trying new dishes is one of the joys of mindful eating.   This week, try making a new dish and eating it with full awareness and attention.

 Do you look forward to the holidays but worry about gaining weight?  Do all your healthy eating intentions disappear when you’re surrounded by holiday treats?  Do you find yourself overeating and then feeling guilty and stuffed?  With so many enticing options during the holidays, it can be tempting to overindulge.  The stress of the holiday season can also trigger emotional or mindless eating.  This workshop will focus on intuitive and compassionate strategies for navigating food choices during the holidays.  The emphasis will be on learning mindfulness tools which will help you to eat and drink what you love while tuning into your body to know when you are truly hungry and full.
