Congratulations on your upcoming arrival 🍼 I'm interviewing an Ayurveda practitioner on postpartum...(Mamaayurveda.com) But the podcast won't be live until December. When are you due? She has a great ebook called 40 days for 40 years.... Because each day after childbirth will have an influence on your health for a year. So the first 40 days are important for mom to restore... Light foods, daily massages (for Mom and baby) and rest. Fenugreek and fennel tea is amazing for lactation... If you're not crazy about drinking it straight, you can use it as a seasoning (i.e., squash/carrot, fennel-fenugreek-ginger-cumin soup) If you're into dosa (Indian pancake made from idli rice and white urad dal) the batter freezes well. I add masala seasoning to my batter (chai dosa) and serve with maple syrup 🔥 Zucchini lasagna also freezes well (use zucchini and yellow squash instead of pasta) layer with spinach or meat sauce per dosha and personal preferences. Barley soup (for pitta or kapha constitution)... saute cumin, fennel, ginger in ghee. Add chopped leek and soaked barley... Cover with beef bone broth and simmer. Add some leafy greens or asparagus in the final 10 minutes...splash of lemon juice. If you're in Southern Florida, I'll come by with some fresh food ,🙏

Thank you very much for all inspiration 🙏 I am not much into Ayurveda but I will look into it. I am based in Central Europe - but I do really appreciate offer for cooking.

Happy to answer any questions...and I'm excited to follow your journey 🍼
