I had today a salad with everything and I put some garden nasturtium flowers on top cause they are gorgeous, edible and full of vitamin C and lutein. What was/is your lunch today?

Don't let the name fool you. Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of the most nutrient-dense ingredients nature offers, and April through May is its absolute peak season. If you've ever walked past a patch and cursed the sting, it might be time to reconsider your relationship with this wild plant entirely. Ounce for ounce, nettle contains more protein than almost any other leafy green. It's a genuine powerhouse of iron, calcium, and vitamin K and it is quietly growing for free along roadsides and forest edges. The flavour is deeply green, earthy, and mineral - think spinach, but wilder and more concentrated. It has that quality of tasting like it's actually doing something for you. ❇️❇️❇️❇️The only rule worth knowing: wear gloves when you harvest and wash it. ❇️❇️❇️❇️ Those tiny stinging hairs are completely neutralized by heat or drying, so a quick 60-second blanch in boiling water renders them 100% safe and delicious. That's it. No complex preparation, no special equipment. Once blanched, nettle becomes one of the most versatile ingredients in the anti-inflammatory kitchen. It works as a straight swap for spinach in soups, pestos, and pasta dough and you´ll have a vibrant deep-green colour and a serious nutritional upgrade. Have you tried the nettles yet? How to you cook them?

Happy to announce some new carrots in the house! @Diane Corriette , @Tiffany Noel Taylor @Jenna Kelly and @Suki Kermali A round of applause and encouragement on their espectacular way up, up, up!

Listening to music at work until a commercial came up about PREBIOTIC PEPSI. 🤷🏻‍♂️🫠 I know that diet culture and fast health fashion is a thing but I was taken aback that a soda company is trying to hear towards health culture.

I had my "date" with my teenage son today and we went, just the two of us, to a beautiful town next to the sea. We laughed a lot and we took a 5 km walk by the sea. Teenagers nowadays live by different rules: they declare themselves shallow while having a meaningful conversation, they text and don´t call ("Mom, we are not animals"), they take forever in making any kind of plans with other teenagers but can give you a excellent guide on how to drive them from one place to another ... It was a long drive so I had to listen to teenagers´ music which is hard, people, very hard :) but we have a system of one song for me and one for you so the road trip was full of "wow, I haven´t heard this one before" from both of us. Happy to be able to have these experiences and building memories 💓 What is/was your Saturday like? And if you celebrate Easter this weekend, Happy Easter!
