Poppy Seed Lemon Loaf (or Muffins) Another way to

Poppy Seed Lemon Loaf (or Muffins)

Another way to make an amends with Poppies. One of my favorite combos in the kitchen Lemon and Poppy seeds.

Yield: 1 loaf (8-10 slices) or 12 muffins Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 50-60 minutes (loaf) or 18-22 minutes (muffins)

Total Time: ~1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients (organic and/or clean when possible)

Dry Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ tbsp poppy seeds
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tbsp)
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
½ cup (120ml) sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: For a loaf: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal. For muffins: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, rub the sugar and lemon zest together with your fingers until fragrant (this releases lemon oils). Whisk in melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.

5. Bake: Loaf: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.

Muffins: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about ¾ full). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool: Loaf: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Muffins: Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

A mother’s innate compassion and capacity to lov

A mother’s innate compassion and capacity to love her child unconditionally is beyond words. No doubt you’ve felt this from your own mother, grandmother, and/or another maternal presence in your life. Ideally, we all receive that limitless compassion from our mother—but that isn’t always our reality. And if your inner work originates from “mother issues,” it isn’t something to hold onto or feel jilted by. It’s simply part of your dance as much as it is hers.
This arises from the law of cause and effect—Karma—our eternal dance with the universe and each other. In Eastern teachings, the first practice for anyone is to become like a compassionate, protective, loving mother. A mother’s love for her child is innate, regardless of soul histories. Those histories reveal themselves in myriad ways for mother, father, and child. As a child, you may have wanted to scream, “It’s not fair!” Yet whenever aversion or longing toward another arises—especially toward our mother—the practice is first compassion for ourselves and for that relationship. Aversion and longing are two sides of the same coin: grasping. And grasping is the root of all suffering.
A mother’s capacity to hold unconditional love and compassion comes from the Divine and from her journey of creating and holding her child in sacred space—from conception, through gestation in the womb, into birth, and beyond. As I mentioned before, the conduit between heart and womb is the energetic pathway linking a mother to her children.
If you’d like to honor the life your mother gave you, take a few moments now. Close your eyes and imagine yourself back in the warm waters of her womb: feeling her heartbeat, her breath soothing you, her voice reassuring you as you transform and grow into your physical form. Sit in that miraculous space of metamorphosis and give silent gratitude for her strength, her love, and the suffering she endured to bring you into this world. #motherlove #divinecompassion #karmaandhealing

Lemon Rosemary Salmon Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook T

Lemon Rosemary Salmon

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Total Time: 15 mins

Course: Main Course | Servings: 2

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets with skin (½ to ¾ lb = 340 g; ½ to ¾” thickness, skin on), *

¼ tsp kosher salt or Himalayan salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1-2 Tbsp organic olive oil

1-2 Tbsp unsalted butter

1-2 Tbsp sake (or Chinese rice wine or dry sherry)

1 lemon, sliced

Rosemary sprigs

Seasonings

2 Tbsp rice vinegar (or Chinese rice wine or dry sherry)

2 Tbsp sake

1 Tbsp honey

3 Tbsp lemon juice

Freshly cracked pepper and Himalayan salt

Instructions

1. Gather all the ingredients.

2. Combine the seasoning ingredients in a bowl and mix well until the honey is mostly dissolved. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry. Season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

3. Sprinkle ½ Tbsp of all-purpose flour on one side of the salmon and spread evenly. Flip over and sprinkle the remaining flour on the other side. Gently shake off any excess flour.

4. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and melt the butter over medium heat. Don’t let the butter burn—if the pan gets too hot, reduce the heat or remove it from the heat temporarily.

5. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down (this will be the top when served). Cook for 3 minutes, or until the skin side is nicely browned, then flip. Add lemon slices and rosemary sprigs next to the salmon.

6. Pour in the sake and cover with a lid. Flip the lemon slices and rosemary. Steam the salmon for 3 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the salmon to a plate.

7. Add the seasoning mixture to the pan and increase the heat slightly. When the sauce begins to boil, return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over the fillets.

8. When the sauce thickens, turn off the heat. Transfer the salmon to plates and serve immediately.

*Vegetarian/Vegan Substation: Cauliflower, Lion’s Maine Mushroom or Cabbage Wedge. Substitute Butter with Sunflower Butter.

Dandelion Tea + Greens If you’re in an area whe

Dandelion Tea + Greens

If you’re in an area where dandelion greens grow, this is your signal to nourish your liver. You can harvest these in the wild or in your yard; however, ensure the area hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals or impacted by animals. Always clean all parts of the plant thoroughly. Then, you can use them in salads, dishes, and/or teas/beverages.

Here’s a simple way to make a natural electrolyte drink:

1. In a large pot filled with 1 gallon of clean water, simmer 10-12 washed dandelion roots (cleaned beforehand and roughly chopped) for 3-4 hours.

2. Then, add a handful of dried hibiscus flowers. Steep while the water cools.

3. Drain the roots and flowers, and transfer the liquid into a glass container.

4. Add ¾ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, zest from half a lemon rind, and ½ to 1 cup of honey, to taste. Blend well.

5. You can drink this straight or mix it with fresh, clean water or coconut water.

6. This will last 2-3 days. It’s a great beverage to enjoy after a long workout, in the morning, or a few hours before bed.

To Be Noted: One size doesn’t fit all. If you’re on medications or other herbal supplements, consult your practitioner or send me a message to verify. Here are some contraindications: antacids, blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants and antiplatelets), diuretics, lithium, ciprofloxacin, and diabetes medications (since the root can lower blood sugar).

“Be totally empty, embrace the tranquility of pe

“Be totally empty,
embrace the tranquility of peace.
Watch the workings of all creation,
observe how endings become beginnings.
All creatures in the universe
return to the point where they began.
Returning to the source is tranquility,
meaning submitting to what is and what is to be.”
~Tao Te Ching, Verse 16

This Week: Spring + Fall energy welcomes you to purify all aspects of your being. I invite you to explore the value of purifying your mind, body, heart, and soul.

As Inspired, take a moment to balance your inner landscape, creating space to nourish yourself while harmonizing your inner and outer worlds.

Questions:
What is the current quality of my thoughts, words, and actions?
What am I grasping for in my thoughts, words, and actions?
What aspect of self is ready to be purified?

Contemplation:

Are your thoughts clear or cluttered, your words kind or reactive, your actions aligned with your values? The Tao encourages a state of flow—observing without forcing—yet grasping, born of desire, fear, or control, disrupts this peace. What might you be holding onto that the verse urges you to release, returning you to tranquility? Purification, shedding old habits or beliefs, aligns with ‘endings become beginnings,’ hinting at a limiting mindset or emotional burden ready to transform.

Weekly Sol. Silence. Sound Sessions are an offering to assist you in diving deeper into a spiritual practice, exploring your inner landscape, and cultivating inner peace.

Your body is your sacred temple. It is the miracul

Your body is your sacred temple. It is the miraculous vehicle that houses your eternal being (aka your soul). Your entire journey into this form is filled with mystery, magic, and unexplainable phenomena that could take potentially perceptual lifetimes to fully understand. Fortunately, you can simply be present here to cultivate a deeper awareness of where you are and how you can honor your physical being. It literally acts as the relay switch between your inner being and the outside world. I find that when I create space to acknowledge the wonderment of my entire being, I’m more motivated to care for myself with a reverence, self love and sacredness that can get lost in the day-to-day shuffle.

If inspired, during these Spring/Fall months, practice patience by retaining your natural state of being—calm. The benefits of living from this state of awareness include stress reduction, emotional regulation, improved resilience, restful slumber, reduction of some or all physical imbalances, a positive outlook, rewiring of neural pathways, reconciling past actions, stronger relationships with self and others, deeper intimacy, healthier communication, and thoughtful decision-making.

All of this directly supports your overall well-being. Remember: if you treat your body like a sacred space, you will connect with the divinity that runs through you. It’s your choice. You are miraculous.
