To my fellow friends in the U.S., I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend full of good food, friends, family, and laughter. To my friends elsewhere, I hope you had a lovely and restful weekend too!<\/p>\n

After a week away from this space, it feels so good\u00a0to be back. I planned to share two posts last week but realized that I was should-ing myself into doing so. My usual thoughts of\u00a0\"I want to share two posts this week\" <\/em>were replaced by\u00a0\"I should get those two blog posts written this week,\"<\/em> and I've learned that \"should-ing\" myself into doing something\u00a0is a symptom of\u00a0frantic forcing (as opposed to faithful\u00a0flowing)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the past, I would have forced my way through\u00a0and gotten those posts up no matter the toll it took on my spirit, energy, inspiration etc., but no one wins in that scenario. You'd be offered two half-hearted posts that left something\u00a0to be desired, and I'd be reinforcing the same old\u00a0burnout narrative<\/a> that I've been working so\u00a0hard to\u00a0rewrite. We both deserve better than that.<\/p>\n

\"Yellow<\/a><\/p>\n

So instead of frantically forcing, I flowed my way through last week.<\/p>\n

I did hours and hours of\u00a0outreach for an exciting cookbook<\/a>-related giveaway\u00a0(stay tuned later this week) on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was spent cooking up a Thanksgiving storm and getting our condo ready for the nearly 20 guests we hosted on Thursday. Friday and Saturday included sleeping in, lots of quality family time, and even some festive holiday decorating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was so much relaxation and fun that by the time Sunday rolled around, I was eager to sit down and write this post. Life flows in the most effortless ways when we pause from the hustle long enough to hear\u00a0the wisdom of\u00a0our intuition, trust in the guidance we receive, and\u00a0honor it accordingly.\u00a0It's kind of amazing.<\/p>\n

Also amazing? Animated GIFs and this yellow split pea, kale + potato curry.<\/p>\n

Please don't be intimidated by the long cook time. It's cooked in a similar style to dal<\/a>, so most\u00a0of it\u00a0is hands-off simmering.\u00a0\u00a0Onions and chopped plum tomatoes are saut\u00e9ed with lots of garlic, a fresh serrano chile, and plenty of warming spices. The spices\u2014cumin seed, turmeric, and a pinch of garam masala\u2014are \"bloomed\" with a combination of oil and heat to intensify and liven their flavors. Then, finely chopped kale is stirred in and cooked until it just begins to wilt.<\/p>\n

Next, you'll stir in several cups of water or vegetable broth, dried yellow split peas, and cubed potatoes. Bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for one hour, or until the split peas are very tender. Finally, generously season with sea salt, stir in a handful of fresh cilantro leaves, and serve warm alongside heaps of basmati rice.<\/p>\n

This is a comforting and satiating curry that warms from the inside out. Plus, it's packed with\u00a0plant-based protein and fiber\u201413 grams and 15 grams per serving, respectively.<\/p>\n
