Broth beats "The Pollening"

 

Gumbo and Asian-inspired broths are my healing meals when Southeast Texas turns dusty from pollen. Use some flavor when opening up those sinuses!

I was dealing with our pollen, then I went off and got into some other Texas allergy zones that hit hard. Here are some products that I came across just in time to flavor some broths and boost my energy:

Big Tree Farms soy and gluten free products include organic lime & ginger marinade and sauce as “two happy bedfellows for Bali Delicious cooking. Organic Original Coco Aminos upgrade veggies, tofu, etc. The Organic Less Sodium Coco Aminos use coconut flower nectar and Balinese sea salt to hit the sauce. These are new go-tos to make a meal fancy with just a few shakes.Bigtreefarms.com

Organic Vanilla Coconut Sugar is another Big Tree Farms delight that is unrefined and low glycemic, certified fair trade. I put some in a broth and will soon try these flavorful crystals over yogurt. Use it for baking and beverages and impressing guests.

Let me know what goes in your feel-better broths. Here are some ideas:

·       Rice

·       Egg: crack one whole or let it drizzle in like a stream

·       Green onions

·       Carrots, sliced super thin, in case you don’t have the energy to chew.

 

Share your garden:

I love when neighborhood ap users announce they’ve dug up something in their garden and have plenty to share. I’d texted people I was in for the night on a recent Sunday. But when monkey grass shout-out popped up, I was on the streets headed toward a grass grab. It’s always good to share!
