Meals That Ground Me: A Week of Nourishing Dishes

Before I write, plan, or create, I cook. Because eating well is how I remind my body I care.

Here’s what grounded me this week:

• Sunday: Bone broth miso soup with rice noodles, bok choy, and medium poached egg. A hug in a bowl.

  
  

• Monday: Roasted veggie bowl with tahini dressing. Sweet potatoes, zucchini, red onion. Earthy and bright.

  
  

• Tuesday: Coconut curry lentils over jasmine rice. It tasted like home.

  
  

• Wednesday: Kale Caesar with crispy chickpeas and avocado. Crunchy, creamy, craveable.

  
  

• Thursday: Leftover curry (again). Always better the next day.

  
  

• Friday: Seared salmon with lemon butter and wild rice. Grown woman dinner.

  
  

• Saturday: Matcha pancakes with almond butter and berries. A soft start.

  
  

I don’t eat perfectly. I eat presently. That’s the meal plan.
