What an amazing week!!  I am still feeling high from my trip to North Conway, NH.  An action packed time in the White’s saw me creating an all raw dinner Friday night followed by 2 workshops on Saturday and Sunday.  Besides the time in the kitchen, I was able to get some much needed time close to nature.  I would spend most nights in a small log cabin tucked away on 70 + acres of land.  Showering in fresh spring water, and heating the home via a wood burning stove got me to realize just how much I need to be closer to nature..  

Since my days in Telluride, Co. I feel like I have let go of my true passions for the outdoors.  I love the wild, and I love living as close to nature as possible.  It is in my blood and it feels so right to be in a community that revolves around the outdoors.  Getting a chance to spend time in North Conway has brought back a lot of those good feelings so I am grateful for the experience and motivated to get outdoors more often.  This morning I woke up to a cool 14 degrees, but I ventured out without socks or a jacket and felt invigorated as oppose to freezing cold..  It is like I needed that chill to warm up my soul..

So what’s in store for me now??? 

I have just learned that I will be unable to head back to Canada for at least 3 months..  So I have to devise a plan, which may look like me heading back up north to work with Katrina’s Market..  I am happy to be in flow and work where it feels right..

Here are a few recipes that were featured this weekend..  Enjoy!
