For this week’s episode, we interviewed TEDx speaker and Forbes-endorsed mental health advocate Johnny Crowder, who has built a whole system around reframing negative thinking.
Almost his whole life, Johnny didn’t know that he could work out his brain like he did his body.
We all need to find the right wording when it comes to self-care. We might not speak the same language but we are needing the same things.
Johnny tells us about his company which provides daily mental health support via text messages. It’s all about interrupting negative thoughts.
One of the privileges we have as adults is our ability to get up and walk away in toxic situations. Revelation!
Sausage-Broccoli Pie
In the spirit all of things American, our cousin from Seattle sent us this Sausage-Broccoli Pie recipe:
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry
500 grams broccoli
300 grams sausage
150 grams scamorza cheese (if you can’t find scamorza, you can use provolone or even mozzarella)
splash of white wine
1 clove garlic
dash of red pepper flakes
dash of salt
olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut broccoli into pieces, and boil in a pan of water for about 10 minutes. In a separate pan, sauté garlic and pepper flakes in olive oil. Drain broccoli, and leave for a few minutes in the pan. Add sausage (ground) and cook completely. When the sausage is fully cooked, add a splash of wine and a dash of salt. Line a rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Gently roll out with a rolling pin to fit the baking sheet. Place the puff pastry on top of parchment paper and poke several times with a fork. Pour broccoli/sausage mixture over puff pastry. Cut cheese into cubes, and distribute over mixture. Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward towards the pie, and brush with a bit of milk, using a pastry brush. Put the pie into the oven for around 20 minutes. Let cool. Cut into square pieces to serve.
Enjoy! Please send pictures of any of the recipes you’ve tried. That would make our week!
