WHEN REST CALLS...JUST REST

Hey Y'all,

You’re getting this message a bit late this evening — It’s been one hell of a day and week! With kids back in school and everything going on, I needed to take a much-needed pause to rest and recharge.

Because of that, I’ve decided to cancel my farmers market appearances this weekend to focus on preparing for the juicing class, Vitality Through Juicing, happening on Saturday at the Healing Me First Wellness Center...and to just take a breather.

I want to encourage and remind you all to listen to your body deeply and rest when you need it. If you feel called to take a break, don’t hesitate, just take that break — everything will still be there when you’re ready to return.

Here’s What’s Happening This Week:

🌿 No Markets this Weekend ​
🌿 Meet Dr. Nyasha, one of our Hydrators and hear why she joined the Hydration Challenge ​
🌿 Last Week to Enjoy Our New Menu for August 17th-30th Meal Prep Menu​

Sending you love in every bite, and peace in every choice. With a heart full of gratitude and care,

Essentially Chef Beee 🌱​

BEEE WELL RECIPE:

Cauliflower "Rice" Stir-Fry

A lighter, plant-forward swap for classic fried rice — full of flavor, fiber, and nourishment.

Ingredients (4 servings):

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped fine or pulsed (or 4 cups store-bought cauliflower rice)
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil (or avocado oil)
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup carrots, diced small
• 1 cup bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas (or edamame)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 Tbsp low-sodium tamari or coconut aminos
• 1 Tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• Optional: scrambled tofu, chickpeas, or tempeh for protein
• Sesame seeds + fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. If starting with whole cauliflower, chop into florets or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice (don’t over-process).
2. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
3. Add carrots and bell pepper, cooking until slightly softened. Stir in peas (or edamame).
4. Add cauliflower rice, tamari, and rice vinegar. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
5. Fold in green onions and optional protein. Taste and adjust seasoning.
6. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro before serving.

Chef Beee’s Tip: 🌱 This recipe is endlessly flexible! Swap in any seasonal veggies you have on hand, and keep it colorful — the more colors on your plate, the more nutrients you’re feeding your body.

If a simple swap can transform your plate, imagine what a few intentional changes could do for your energy, digestion, and peace of mind. 🌿 Book a wellness consultation with me today.
