10/1/26: Pears, Pumpkins, and Peace
In this week's episode of The Kitchen with Jean, we explore the foods of autumn: Pears to soothe a dry throat and comfort the lungs Pumpkin, squash, and sweet potatoes for steady, grounding energy Mushrooms, root vegetables, whole grains, and legumes Gentle warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom I'm also sharing two of my favorite little kitchen tricks, one for sweet potatoes and one for steel-cut oats. They make eating well so much easier. Health can be easy, my friends. It does not have to be hard. And because I love to cook for the people I love, I've put together four recipes for you: a Ginger Miso Pumpkin Soup, a Roasted Autumn Grain Bowl, an Apple Lentil Kale Stew, and a Warm Cinnamon Pear Crisp. You can download them all at SelfCareWithJean.com/downloads. This week, I invite you to begin your day with something warm. That's it. A little bowl of oatmeal with cooked apples and cinnamon, or a mug of ginger tea. Notice how it feels. Next week, we're exploring the solstices, nature's rhythm of light and rest, and what they teach us about our own season of growth. Have a wonderful week, my friends.
