Humans are funny creatures. We like to think that we can control the timeline of our lives. We fool ourselves into believing that the perfect partner, job, home, or child will arrive precisely when we want it, because we’ve decided that it’s time… right NOW! Sometimes we create unnecessary suffering, because we forget the perfection of divine timing; timing that doesn’t require pushing, pulling, or forcing into submission, timing that flows effortlessly and abundantly because it’s bigger than us. This timing is wise and generous and knows what we need, when we need it. Sometimes all we need to do is step aside in order to make way for the Universe to extend its magical touch. Join me for a steamy walk through the woods while I share the latest installment of my witchy house hunt journey!

What’s for dinner?

Sweet Potato & White Bean Burgers 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups mashed sweet potato
• Olive oil (for cooking sweet potato)
• 1-1.5 cups brown rice or other grain, quinoa or millet 
• 1 cup canned white beans (rinsed and well drained)
• 1/2 cup finely diced green onion
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 tsp chipotle powder
• 2 teaspoons Maple syrup for sweetness (optional)

Plus, toppings: whatever you like!

And good buns, teehee! 

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and cut sweet potatoes in half. Rub with olive oil and place face down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake sweet potatoes until soft.
• While potatoes are baking, cook rice or other grain.
• Add beans to a mixing bowl and mash half of them for texture. Then add sweet potato and lightly mash, then 1 cup  green onion, breadcrumbs and spices. Mix to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more rice or breadcrumbs if the mixture feels too wet. It should be very moist but moldable.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Make burger patties with your hands.  The thinner you press them, the faster they’ll cook. 
• Bake burgers for a total 30-45 minutes, carefully flipping 20 minutes in to ensure even cooking. The longer you bake them the firmer and drier they will get.

Ice Cream Pie

Ingredients:
half gallon favorite ice cream 
1 (9 inch) pre-made cookie or graham cracker crust
Favorite toppings

Instructions: Let ice cream thaw until slightly soft and scoop-able. Then gently spread a layer in the pie crust, approximately 1″ thick. Add in a light layer of toppings on top. Then add one more 1″ thick layer of ice cream, and add more toppings on top.  Freeze the pie until it is firm again, then slice and serve.
