An impromptu dinner with my family last night lead to the creation of this fall inspired dish! This was actually my first time cooking with black rice (I purchased it from Trader Joe's), and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it! It worked perfectly as a risotto, and I will definitely be using it again!
I'm excited to share that I was able to source half of the ingredients for this recipe from my backyard garden. I picked the kale, calamansi, thyme and butternut squash from my garden just before I got cooking. All organic, and grown with love <3 (If you grow any fruits or veggies in your home, share below, I'd love to read about your gardens!)
This morning I woke up energized and awake, in a way that I have not been in a long while. This passed weekend for me was one of revitalization and rejuvenation. I took time for myself, to connect with my thoughts, emotions, body, and inner being. Too often do I forget that my health is all encompassing of every aspect in my life, not just my physical well-being. Remembering this fact, and becoming more aware of it, has allowed for me to definitely live my life in an improved way, filled with greater appreciation and awareness.
