Gabrielle’s Kitchari
ChatGPT said:
Kitchari is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. This cozy, porridge-like dish is made with basmati rice and yellow moong dal, simmered with healing spices like turmeric, cumin, ginger, and black pepper. A staple in Ayurvedic cooking, it’s gentle on digestion and was my go-to during Panchakarma. I love packing it with veggies like zucchini, squash, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and spinach. For toppings, I reach for lime juice, cilantro, black sesame seeds, black lava salt, cashews, or a splash of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. Nourishing, grounding, and endlessly customizable!
Chocolate Covered Dates stuffed with Almond Butter
Okay, these are to die for! These dates are the most decadent delicious bite there is. My roommate and I absolutely love making these things. The good thing about them is it just takes one date to feel satisfied. I top each date with a pinch of flaky salt leaving your mouth watering over the sweet and salty taste. Feel free to use any chocolate chips you’d like. I prefer Hu dark chocolate baking gems!

I topped mine with sautéed spinach, avocado, sprouts, green onions, and furikake for the ultimate umami crunch. Bonus? It tastes even better the next day!
