AUTUMN COOKING 
Cooking for a Harvest of Joy and Health 
by Jane Q. Stanchich 

Cooking is the art of life. Taking the time to prepare organic, whole foods from the Earth is one of the most life-affirming acts one can do to create and sustain good health. Cooking is a beautiful combination of nourishment for the body, mind, and spirit and eating, while fun and sensual, is truly a spiritual practice. 

When we make the decision to eat foods that best nourish us and lovingly protect our Earth, we are attuning to the harmony and power of Nature. Our bodies can then achieve greater wellness and balance in each season. 

It is now Autumn, the season in which the Earth gives us a profound and beautiful gift of life: a bounty of health-giving grains, beans, and vegetables to nourish and sustain us through the coming winter. As we give ourselves and our loved ones these wholesome foods, we may truly enjoy, savor, and appreciate their goodness. 

Autumn days are now becoming more chilly and crisp. We observe the leaves changing from green to gold and red, deepening in color, becoming dry and falling from the trees. Golden sweet squash and pumpkin add to the harvest abundance. We can begin to prepare our bodies for storing up greater warmth and strength through the foods we select and the manner in which we cook. Read more…

Love and Gratitude to my amazing genius of a husband, Lino, who saved my life by introducing me to the macrobiotic diet and lifestyle and has brought me great joy and fulfillment in this adventure of life ~ Motto: “Never a dull moment!”

Creamy, golden, savory, and delicious- any time of the year, especially Autumn. Watch the red lentils turn golden, cooked with healing golden millet. This grain is healing for the stomach, spleen, and pancreas. Therefore, this soup is excellent for blood sugar levels, helping to balance diabetic symptoms, and promotes good digestion!

Creamy Risotto is a beloved Italian comfort food and is an international gourmet favorite. Adding small cubes of autumn’s sweet winter squash, such as kabocha, buttercup, or butternut, takes risotto to a whole new level of sweet flavor and health! This is the recipe for authentic risotto, allowing the cook or cooks (in Italy, friends and family take turns stirring,) to lovingly incorporate the broth, creating a “stirring,” deeply satisfying dish.

DEEP SLEEP LIFESTYLE

In our last newsletter of early Autumn, 2020, we detailed the foods to eat and also avoid to create deeper sleep.  Oh yes, our diet directly and profoundly affects our moods, habits, relaxation levels, and sleep quality. In this article we discuss Part I of The Deep Sleep Lifestyle: Habits to Create Sound Sleep.

All day long we set ourselves up for either tension and insomnia or calm, relaxed sleep. From the time we awaken, we are programming ourselves, exercising ourselves, nourishing ourselves, and too often exposing ourselves to caffeine, stress, anxiety, electronic devices, news bombardment, and chemicals. For optimum health, our daily lives need to be balanced, organic, and revitalizing. And they can be! Read more…

TRANSFORMATIONAL BOOK REVIEWS

4 12THEREFORE, CHOOSE LIFE 
by Suzanne Rosoff

Suzanne Rosoff’s book, THEREFORE, CHOOSE LIFE is wonderful! This unique and uplifting memoir has captured my heart with Suzanne’s rare honesty, strength of soul, and pure humor. We have known Suzanne for over thirty years, going back to the dynamic Miami Macrobiotic Foundation of Florida. What a women! And what a writer! If you love stores about women who triumph over the adversity and insanity of life and over the male-dominated world, read this book.  

In Therefore, Choose Life, I laughed with her and cried with her. I felt heart-wrenching empathy for Suzanne as she suffered abuse, divorce, and poverty. I have celebrated with her in the captivating stories of strength, fortitude, faith in her son, Paul, and her transformation into a powerful, self-actualized woman. It is a book of humor and hope. I recommend you get a copy soon and share as a gift! Here is how to read Suzanne’s blog and order her book: suzannerosoff.life.
