Spring? Are you there? oh wait, no, it can’t be you. It’s snowing. AGAIN.
Nevertheless, I refuse to let snow stand in the way of me and spring. SPRING VIBES all around with this Lemon and Herb Soup. Made with sweet potato, sausage, rice and loads of fresh herbs you can’t help but feel spring in the air. This soup also makes the perfect transition from those snowy cold, by the fireplace days to the warmer, sunshiny, want to spend all of my time outdoors in my garden days. It’s warming and grounding and yet still light and somehow refreshing.

LEMONS.
My favourite fruit ever (with avocados coming a close second).
Let me count the ways in which I use lemons:
Hands up if you love sour over sweet like me? Now if only I could grow my own lemon tree here in Toronto…
This Meyer Lemon Curd will have to do. And because I love the combination of citrus and cardamom I added it in (totally optional but if you love cardamom do give it a try). This recipe uses honey as a sweetener and ghee instead of butter so it is not as sweet as the typical curd and definitely has more zing.

Put your hand up if you get sick at least once a winter?
I thought so. I also used to find myself getting sick every winter (siigh) but over the years have learned that reducing my sugar intake, upping my vitamins and trying to get lots of rest helps tremendously. And the for the last two seasons I have taken Wild Muskoka’s Elderberry Syrup and have stayed healthy the WHOLE WINTER. Imagine that. Everyone else is sneezing, coughing and just exhausted and here I am feeling fabulous.
Wild Muskoka Botanicals was kind enough to send me some of their product so I could share with you the magic of elderberries. I created this beautiful warm tonic to sip on throughout the winter with blood orange juice, ginger, lemon and of course, elderberry syrup. It’s the perfect winter elixir to keep you healthy!
