Creamy Root Veggie Mash
Root Down to Rise: A Ritual in the Kitchen for the Woman Who Does It All
She closes million-dollar deals.
She leads staff meetings, storytime circles, and sacred inner revolutions.
She can write a pitch deck and a bedtime story in the same breath.
But even she—visionary, luminous, legacy-building—needs to come home to herself.
And sometimes, coming home looks like chopping root vegetables with intention, steam curling in the air like a whispered prayer, and a creamy mash that says, “You deserve to be fed like royalty.”
Because sacred nourishment is strategy.
And ancestral food wisdom? That’s legacy in a pot.
✨ The Medicine of Bitter Roots
Most people stop at potatoes, garlic, and onions. But our grandmothers knew better.
Jerusalem artichokes—that crunchy, artichoke-flavored root known for feeding gut flora and flushing excess.
Turnips—humble but potent, detoxifying and full of vitamin C.
Rutabagas—bittersweet, cabbage-kissed, grounding and anti-inflammatory.
These are not just ingredients.
They are plant allies—reclaiming their place in our homes, our bellies, and our bloodlines.
When roasted and mashed, their bitterness softens.
Their sweetness reveals itself.
Much like us.
