Spring is the season of renewal. According to Ayurveda, what accumulates over winter, in the body and on the skin, begins to move. And if we follow nature’s lead, we clear it gently and make space for something new.

I sat down with Dr. Pratima Raichur, founder of Pratima Skincare and one of the pioneers of Ayurvedic beauty in the US, to talk about exactly that.

Weeknight Simple for March is here!

Here’s what’s on the menu:

👩🏽‍🍳 Tempeh Manchurian A nostalgic Indo-Chinese classic, inspired by a very specific (and very funny) high school memory. Crisp vegetable + tempeh balls tossed in a glossy, chile-garlic sauce that’s spicy, tangy, and completely addictive. This one is pure comfort with a punch.

👩🏽‍🍳 Steel-Cut Oats Risotto with Leeks, Peas & Kale Creamy, grounding, and just light enough to hint at spring. Fresh mint, lemon, and sweet green peas bring brightness to this unexpected twist on risotto — inspired by the late Chef Floyd Cardoz. It’s cozy, but elevated.

👩🏽‍🍳 Coconut Curry Noodles with Tofu A one-pot situation I come back to again and again. Rich coconut broth, ginger, garlic, a little heat, and noodles that soak it all up. It tastes like it simmered all day, but comes together for a weeknight.

If you’re new here, Weeknight Simple is my monthly recipe club with 3 protein-forward dinners, a bonus recipe, a full shopping list and access to my growing recipe archive.

Let’s make this make sense. 💚

No advice here. Just a little caution that nutrition and lifestyle aren’t one-size-fits-all.

I know I needed to soften. My body made that very clear. After a bruising stretch of insomnia last year, I had to turn inward in a way I never had before - somatic practices, therapy, getting deep into Ayurvedic nutrition. Not to optimize. Not to hack. Just to help my body feel safe again.

I even had to stop strength training for a while, because my nervous system was so wired that I couldn’t sleep.
Hustle works sometimes. But as a constant state of being? It doesn’t work for me.

This year, I’m leaning into what actually feels good. When work feels like play. When nourishment feels grounding. When I’m building from a regulated place, not a rushed one.

Does this resonate? I’d love to hear what has changed for you in this season of life.
