Hello, fellow travellers on the path, Today I come bearing a recipe not for food – except maybe food for thought and contemplation – but for evolution. Like many other Ascension Kitchen recipes, this evolved out of my own experience. And because, while Ascension Kitchen has its root in 3D food, but is also the Ascension Kitchen, I felt to share. And if you are looking for direction in your life, an answer to where to apply yourself, for some kind of sign where to go from here

It is autumn in the northern hemisphere, and for many that means: pumpkin season! Everyone is sharing their favourite pumpkin recipes these days ~ and so am I. Because while I never used to like pumpkin, it turned out I only needed to find the right approach. The right recipe. And these days my favourite way to eat pumpkin is either simply baked in the oven and devoured with a nice sauce/dip ~ or blended with a whole lot of other good stuff into a delicious, creamy pasta sauc

We are well into October, and in the northern hemisphere that means: autumn! The leaves are beginning to turn, the weather is picking up wind and rain, and of course it's pumpkin season.

never underestimate the power of small changes 🦋 you might be feeling as of you are failing at growth, at evolution, when nothing much seems to be moving but keep stepping forwards, one tiny shift by tiny shift and together, all the tiny shifts all the tiny changes the minute shifts in perspective the minuscule changes in perception of self make one massive leap forwards off the cliff learning to fly on the way down never underestimate the power you have in every single mome

Acceptance. It is one of the great concepts in many spiritual or religious traditions. Acceptance of what is, of the circumstances, of what you manifested. As you walk the spiritual path in truth, it becomes one of your greatest tools, so to speak. The key to the doorway through disturbance, convolution, pain, and karma.

Drowning in fresh summer veggies? Or have some various veggies left in the fridge you don't quite know what to do with? Looking for something tasty and a little fancy, but still easy to make? I got you. May I present: the brilliantly variable veggie bake! the super yummy courgette and carrot bake The original recipe speaks of a “Courgette and Cauliflower Bake”. When I tried this out before, I had a cauliflower but no courgettes. Instead, I had leek. So I made a leek and cauli

While the courgette-and-carrot bake is in the oven, and the beetroot for the experimental pasta sauce (or maybe soup?) is happily bubbling away, I'd like to take the time to look at and contemplate a less pleasant aspect – also known as a “doorway” – of diet. Any diet, yours and mine.

Three ways to fulfilment ~ an exploration in three dishes (Or: Kitchen Adventures, but make them Multidimensional)

Well, hello! It's time for Kitchen Adventures again! This week's began like this: Box: >arrives< >contains three zucchini< Joy: Oooh, zucchini! Awesome!

Welcome to another week of kitchen adventures! This week's are still a work in progress, actually, because two things are still waiting to go in the oven.
