FEED YOUR SPIRIT
🌞Here comes the sun! We’re gaining 3 minutes of additional daylight per day - woot. In March, that adds up to 20 minutes more sunlight each week. Spring is coming and I definitely feel it. Do you?

States are fighting back.🗽Here in New York, Governor Hochul and the NYC MTA have vowed to fight back against Trump’s ridiculous announcement that he’s scotched the city’s long-awaited congestion pricing that has already proven to improve air quality, reduce traffic, and provide much-needed revenue. “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king,” said Hochul. More from The Hill. And in Maine, Governor Janet Mills also told Trump where he can stick it after he threatened to strip the state of all federal funding if it continues to allow transgender athletes to play in girls and women’s sports.

FEED THE RESISTANCE: Don’t Shop On Friday - Economic BLACKOUT

Use the links below to add the boycott to your calendar so you don’t accidentally patronize a big box store, Amazon.com, gas station, or fast food joint. Resisting has never been so easy or good for your bank account.

FEED YOUR BELLY: Miso-Sesame Roasted Broccoli & Sweet Potato Rice Bowls
Spring may be on the horizon but winter is still with us so warm and hearty is the order of the day. These healthy rice bowls are deliciously satisfying — savory, sweet, a little bit spicy (thank you, ginger and sriracha) with that wonderful umami that miso brings to the equation. Make enough to have the leftovers for lunch and feel free to improvise — tofu, edamame, carrots, kale, and pickled veggies would all be great additions. My kids love these (and all) rice bowls. Get the recipe.
