All you need to do is see the world with a different set of eyes, food is all around.
Harvesting a very special #lichen called #rocktripe It can be older than you! Careful not to over harvest, it's really just a treat to have, so appreciate it.
I find boiling it twice for 10min, then squeezing the excess water, then fry it with butter, olive oil, garlic, sea salt. It's kind of like kale chips, but way more to it!

Breaking in the new year with traditions, including some from my Czech culture.
Our first dish of the year is composed of lentils and pork, lentils are a sign of currency or coins, bringing in wealth in the new year. Having pork back in the days would be equivalent to gold, rich in calories it would be a good year to come.
Open-faced sandwiches aka #chlebicky are served on the eve, I made them with my own smoked trout, cream cheese, capers, onion, lemon, spruce powder.
The chaga I have harvested from the birch tree and made cola from it. It supports the immune system, adapting to new viral threats (popular in these times 😉 also keeping the liver in a healthy state.
Then the importance of embracing the uncomfortable, ice cold! Our sacred waters cleanse from old unwanted energy, and bring in resilience. Mixed with breath-work your sure to be ready for the year to come!💪

Christmas Tree Tea😋🍵🎄
Did you know that your tree is a wild superfood? Holding healing immune boosting properties!
Loads of vitamin C to fight off colds, relieves chest congestion and sore throats. Antioxidants to heal free radical damage. Helps bring mental clarity and can even prevent depression!
Cut off the tips, add to hot water (not boiling), steep for at least 5min, strain then enjoy. Add to other teas too like ginger mint.
Most coniferous trees are a go. Like spruce, fir, pine, western hemlock. Cedar can be used with caution in small doses, some people react to it. Avoid Yew tree and make sure your tree hasn't been sprayed at the tree farm.
So before you throw out that tree think about what more you can do with it, mama nature will thank you too!💚

Amazes me how we can still be pulling out a salad from the garden in December #blessed 🙏
These #mashuatubers are native to South America but grow well in our climate. If you haven't tasted one they can be eaten raw, spicy like horseradish with a hint of fennel, also cooking them is a option, still experimenting. You can eat the greens too!
"Garden Salad" has massaged kale, beet noodles, slivered mashua, chickweed, blackberry dressing
