Season with Sugar 'n' Spice

 

Ever notice how desserts equals stressed spelled backwards? Is that why we reach for sweets when we’re frazzled? Or perhaps it’s a subliminal reminder that we are the ones getting it backwards. That usually when we most need to take good care of ourselves is when we’re least likely to. Which is why it was so nourishing to steep ourselves in the recent winter soups and seafood stew class. And also why I plan to start off the New Year with a restorative series on Mother Stocks and Broths. 

But right now in this season of soulful treats and merrymaking, I hope we all find a way to slip into the light of our childhood night kitchens. To feel the enchantment. To make it and bake it and eat it and share it. To be dazzled instead. To come home to cooking for sugar and spice and everything nice. To stay in that place where nothing’s the matter. 

At least for a while.

Wishing you comfort and joy.
