Happy Saturday! This week I’ve been thinking a lot about creativity and what it looks like to incorporate more of it into each day.
Some days, it looks like hopping in the kitchen and developing a new recipe with a twist. Other days, it’s getting out my favorite multi-colored pens and making cards for family & friends.
There’s something special about real life, hands-on activities, and I’m fully advocating that we should spend more time experiencing!
It’s not just the feeling of creating I’ve grown to love, but once I’ve researched more into it, I would definitely consider it a form of nourishment.
From reducing stress to fostering mental and emotional well-being, creativity just might be considered it’s own nutrient!
As you cook this week, may you remember that nourishment can be found in a lot of ways. From enjoying a nutrient-packed meal or spending time around the table with loved ones or adding even adding a creative twist to a recipe, there are so many ways cooking is nourishment.
I’m excited to see you cook these nourishing dishes at home this week! Remember, for every recipe photo you share on Substack, you’ll be entered to win the February giveaway!
