Mastering Mindful Eating: Transform Your Relationship with Food, Plus 30 Recipes to Engage the Senses (A Self Care Cookbook) (Anti-inflammatory Michelle Babb)

Transform your relationship with food and develop healthy eating habits with practical advice and 30 nutritious recipes from a registered dietitian.
Discover the art and science of mindful eating!
 
Eating a sandwich while running from a bear isn’t good for digestion or nutrition. That’s exactly what we’re doing when eating a meal on the run or being distracted by computers, TVs, and our phones. Rather than nourishing our bodies, we are feeding anxiety and poor habits that prevent our systems from functioning well.
Author and registered dietitian Michelle Babb shows you how to practice mindful eating that lets your body access the nutrients from food and turn on its self-regulating system. When you build a positive relationship with food, you reduce binge and emotional eating—and can shed pounds, maintain your healthiest weight, and ensure optimal digestion. Here, you’ll learn how to:
• Bring your attention to eating
• Engage the senses (tune into smell, taste, texture, thoughts) while eating
• Identify your habits and patterns around food
• Eat when you’re hungry (and know when you’re full) 
• Discover foods that taste good (and make you feel good)
• Whip 30 vegetarian recipes designed to engage all your senses
 
Whether you are trying to lose weight, recover from an eating disorder, or improve your overall state of calm and wellness, this book helps you change your relationship with food and cultivate a positive eating mindset.

Peachy Berry Hand Pies

Hand pies are great fun because it feels like you’re getting your own little customized dessert, and it’s just enough to make you happy without putting you over the edge.

Moroccan Chickpea Burgers

Veggie burgers can be tricky. Sometimes they get crumbly and don’t hold up well during frying or grilling, but these chickpea burgers are an exception. The ingredients bind well, and the flavors are spectacular, so you won’t miss the meat.

Crimson Beets and Purple Cabbage Kraut

One of my favorite ways to incorporate more fermented foods into my diet is to add a generous scoop of kraut into my salad. It lends a satisfying crunch and tangy, acidic flavor that is similar to what vinegar brings to a dressing.

Farmers’ Market Grilled Pizza

Pizza doesn’t have to be a delivery system for processed meat and cheese. It can be an artful showcase of garden-fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs.

Garnet Yam Stacks with Kimchi Peanut Sauce

I know what you’re thinking. Kimchi peanut sauce?! Are you kidding? That’s what I thought, too, when I first heard about this idea from Firefly Kitchens kraut creators.

Toasted Pecan and Quinoa Fritters

When I’m using sage in a recipe, I know that the food that I’m making will be grounding and healing. This recipe features some of my most favored ingredients, all of which I keep stocked in my kitchen at all times.
