THE DAILY CUPPA WALKABOUT COLLECTION #6

One World Search for Your Health

A collection of stories we gathered on our The Daily Cuppa Walkabout includes herbs, plants, recipes, and traditions, as well as lifestyle selections.

As we make plans to celebrate with our families and friends this holiday season, we’re challenged around our world with new health concerns. We’ll get through this. It’s easy to doubt that, but I believe it’s true. We have suffered together, and we will heal together.

Traditions for health and healing, beginning with the food we eat, and moving to the ways we celebrate, bring us closer together.

We’re each unique with our own nutritional needs. But in sharing and learning together, we maximize our chances of achieving optimal health. We also grow in understanding. How cool is all that?

In this collection of stories we gathered on The Daily Cuppa Walkabout, we share about herbs, plants, recipes, and traditions, as well as lifestyle selections. You’ll love the lifestyle picks — no exercise.

Before we begin our Walkabout, I want to share this lovely tribute to Christmas by Haley Creighton. I’d call it a prose poem in that it draws such rich images and emotions and could bring different ones to each reader.

Your Daily Walkabout Guides

Saturday:

Jane Frost (Jane Grows Garden Rooms) leads us into the world of Australian Bush Tucker with bites — tasty bits about native plants and their uses.

This story was of special interest to me as I gather elderberries each year. It’s fun to learn about the different varieties. I felt close to Australia when reading about a plant that I love.

Sunday:

James Beaufait presents a lush Hawaiian feast of traditions, food growing, delicious herbal treats, and sumptuous recipes as he brings us to the islands.

This dish sounds so yummy. I don’t have access to the fish. Okay, I don't eat fish — I get hives. But as we learn about foods from around the world, we can adapt them as needed. I think I’d use chicken and follow the recipe from there.

Monday:

Kris Bedenian celebrates Northern hemisphere home cooking as she blends her skills in traditional food preparation techniques with modern healthy adaptations.

Talk about adapting a recipe. Kris gives us a copy-cat seasoning recipe. We can blend up the spices and keep them handy in a pretty jar in our kitchen. Do you all want seasoning blend recipes? I think we could comply. Drop a note.

Tuesday:

JM Heatherly shares his love of herbs and herbal lore as he indexes herbs and their uses to lead the younger generation into the magical world of plants.

In this one, we are informed about our dear fennel plant. The image is of a variety grown for large bulbs that are amazing. I can’t grow fennel as it cross-pollinates with dill, and I must have my dill. Have you grown fennel? My friends from Iraq keep a dish of fennel on the table to nibble on after meals. As JM pointed out, it freshens the breath.

Wednesday:

Nancy Blackman brings the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a warm Korean flair for using herbs and spices in the home kitchen.

I especially love learning about Korean food traditions and recipes. It’s all new to me. This one about the three principles took my breath. A good healthy tradition.

Thursday:

Julie Gaeta combines her expertise as a Health Coach and traditional Mexican cuisine chef with a healthy twist to share recipes for smoothies, teas, and much more.

I love this one about water. I start my day with lemon water, but Julie goes much deeper into the benefits than I’ve ever done.

Friday Surprise:

CARMEN F MICSA shared a squash soup recipe. Have you had squash soup? I haven’t, but I have one butternut left from my garden — so it’s coming. I’ll tell you how it goes. This recipe sounds so lovely. This would have been a plant used during the depression and world wars.

Memories

Jane Frost (Jane Grows Garden Rooms)

The memories of our ancestors around the world are important for our health and the health of our planet. Jane is a historian learning and sharing about Australia's Bush Tucker. It looks knotted, so; you know me, I’ll try to make one.

Nadja Scarlett

I’m not sure I want to answer Nadja’s question. How about you give it a go, and I’ll tell you if you’re correct. A fun read.

Our Long-Form Featured Article

Lanu Pitan

My friends are more concerned about brain health than other health indicators. That goes for me too! Thank you, Lanu, for pulling this one together for us.

It’s A Wrap

I hope you found a few treats to add to your collections. We’ve faced challenges together in the past. Like the last two years! But as we gather to celebrate around our world with our families and friends, we bring along what we have learned and shared with others.

Traditions for health and healing begin with the food we eat because we all gotta eat. I’m flaunting my intelligence there, right?

With our different nutritional needs and tastes, learning from others maximizes our chances of achieving optimal health.

And we grow closer.

Thank you to all the writers that gifted us the stories in this collection. It’s been a great pleasure to read them and gather them to share.

Thank you, dear readers and writers, for stopping in your busy day to read our stories, comment, and give us a clap.

Join The Adventure

Think about what inspires you to grow your food, forage, and cook your meals and share with us.

Come along with us on our walkabout.

Submit your recipes, herb, gardening, and plant lore for our gathering of all stories tagged ‘walkabout.’ Link your long-form stories tagged ‘walkabout’ for our collection.

The information presented in the articles in our Walkabout series is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Each writer writes from their own experience and/or research, as such, their content is shared in good faith for informational use only.

Nutrient-dense whole food from plants — from grapefruit, asparagus, spinach, turmeric to blueberries — can be a problem if you’re eating processed foods and taking prescription medications. It may take your body a while to get used to any diet changes. Always consult with your physician or a qualified health care provider before making any lifestyle or dietary changes.

Writers put a lot into their stories. If you’re not a Medium member and would like to have access to reading as many stories as you want on a zillion topics, please use one of the above writer’s memberships links to sign up.
