Creativity in the kitchen
Posted By sharon on June 10, 2009
Creativity comes in many forms. Listening to your heart — the source of our inner passion and creative voice – can direct attention to many fun ways of giving wholesome expression to creativity. If an ordinary activity you do begins to feel like a drudge, try putting a creative spin on it. Try engaging your sensory systems differently as you do it.
I have been having fun creating different food combinations for taste and color. Here’s a recent example. It’s red cabbage and swiss chard. I lightly browned onions and garlic in a little olive oil. Lightly sauteed the cabbage and chard. I used red cabbage for color. I added a touch of seasoned rice vinegar. It is delicious and pretty healthy for the body. We season things pretty lightly, but added spices could also be nice if you like them.

Another taste pleaser is the same basic start but use red swiss chard and couscous. I used a little fresh lemon instead of rice vinegar for the couscous dish and topped it with a few pine nuts. Yummm……
Engaging the mind and body with awareness is a practice in being present with life now. Staying grounded in the present keeps us out of the ruminating mind. See what you can be creative with today.
