Food

I believe when we cook we pour our love into the food. What better way to say hey I love you then to make a special meal for that special someone.
Ah... it's like when you bring a quart of chocolate ice-cream to a friend that has just broken up with her boyfriend. Cause chocolate is know for the chemical reaction that is the same as falling in love. Why not check out the Chocolate Ritual?
It's when you plan that "special" dinner for two. Or even "Honey let me make dinner tonight, you had a big day" is pure love in my book!!

One more thing.... I did a page with recipes on it too.
But I have this page for the different ideas you can change to fit your families likes and dislikes.

Connecting with your Inner Child

Ingredients: Favorite foods from youth

These ingredients are yours to pick. Pick your favorites as a child, and yet they are things you may never eat today-- Maybe it's cotton candy, hotdogs, or cookie dough. Have foods that take you back to the days of your childhood. Eat these foods and meditate on your inner child. Try to bring him or her out by laughing and sharing these treats. Sometimes this is the hardest step. Some inner children are scared so don't try to push it (as you would with a real child) and don't give up you can do this another time to connect with your inner child.
Take note of what your innerchild is needs and is asking for: comfort, healing, fun, joy, security? As an adult you are now capable of providing those things for your inner child. End your meditation with a kiss on the forehead, a hug or whatever you and your inner child feel comfortable with.

More ways to connent with a inner child:
Walk threw the mud puddle!
Color with crayons or markers!
