letting the food be beautiful

This weekend I attended a meditation retreat in Manhattan. I didn’t have time to bring my own food so I went to a salad bar to get something nourishing. Sitting all day seems like it would be easy, but it requires a lot of energy.

The food seemed to arrange itself in my take away container. Shredded yellow squash wanted to be next to bright purple/pink beets. Working with fresh, real ingredients makes it easy to let the food be naturally delicious and beautiful. If it were the season for yellow squash that would’ve been even more brilliant and tasty, but sometimes you have to make a compromise with your choices so you can get your good food and get through the day.
