Grounding Vata Meal

 Before I let the crockpot
do it's magic

What an exhausting week. So much political energy circulating.  Regardless of what position, it's almost impossible not to get swept up in the energy of everything that's gone on last week. Nothing like a good meal to bring a sense of grounding to the energy of the body. We are still in Vata time, so warming, stewy, stick to your ribs food is still going to be helpful in grounding yourself. However, we are slowly moving towards kapha time.  Kapha is all about bringing a little spice back into your life, from a food perspective. So, this meal will ground you and your energy. It is warming, soothing, and  a little spicy. It just makes you feel like everything is going to be OK.

Spicy Shredded Beef
1-3 lb chuck roast ( Grass fed if possible)
1/2 jar of  Pepperocinis
 One bag of baby carrots
 One small onion

Put all ingredients in a crockpot. Layer carrots and onions on the bottom, beef on top of that, and pepperocinis with juice on top of beef.  Set too low for 6 to 8 hours. When done shredded beef with two forks and put beef mixture back in crockpot.  Serve immediately. You could eat this over potatoes or make this into a sandwich with a bun.

Enjoy!
