Pachamama’s Beautiful Food ~ Cooking with the Elements

Margaret Gilfoyle trained and received initiations from indigenous healers of Peru, Brazil and Ecuador during the last decade - her first introduction to the presence of PACHAMAMA, Mother Earth to the Quechuan speaking people of South America. “Their traditions and beliefs in the Feminine Spirit which lived within the Earth itself rang true and deep within me.”

Pachamama and the Creator offer their gifts freely and abundantly within the intricate, infinitely beautiful web of life. In gratefulness of receiving these, we can learn more fully the joy of giving reciprocally what we have to offer in return. We honor Pachamama as we assist nature and people in respectful, sustainable ways. Cooking with love and the intention of bringing energy of peaceful joy as meals are prepared makes even the simplest cuisine and dishes very special to friends and family sitting down at your table, and assists the Earth's energy to resonate with more love, your love.

So grateful to pull the wraps off the tomatoes, peppers, squashes and watermelon this morning and feel the sun on my shoulders. After these cold and snowy Colorado spring days. The arugula seed loved the weather though, and is sprouting all over in between strawberry plants inside my snap pea surrounded bamboo tipis. Scroll to see ✨Blessings for a safe and wonderful weekend, everyone. ☀️🌱🍓👣🐝♥️ . . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #garden #gardening #communitygarden #gardentotable #greenismyfavoritecolor #eatlocal #slowfood #coloradolife #grateful #fortcollins #springtimeintherockies
(Take Two) Do you remember that old Paul Simon song “One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor”? Yesterday while at the community garden I weeded a bit and walked down with my armful of thistles and bindweed to throw into the Yard Waste bin. When I opened the lid, I saw over a dozen stalks of rhubarb on the top of a big pile of drying weeds. Feeling I’d come across something like a cross between windfall and roadkill, I decided to claim the beautiful rhubarb, snapped off the leaves and came away with probably close to 2 pounds. I believe a new gardener to a plot decided they didn’t want someone else’s old rhubarb plant taking up space with the new plans they made for this season. Sooo... This wonderful raspberry rhubarb crisp is the result, with a crumbled topping of ground walnuts, brown sugar, gluten free flour, lemon zest and butter. Tastes so good right now with the rumble of thunder and smell of rain coming in the open window. . . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #onemansceilingisanothermansfloor #windfall #inthegarden #inthekitchen #rhubarb #raspberry #desserts #glutenfree #communitygarden #rhubarbcrisp #eattheyardwaste #delicious

I had such fun with this photo shoot yesterday. My *favorite* grain-free almond bundt cake with raspberries, mesquite honey whipped cream, and local Colorado bee pollen 🐝 Decorated with white lilac and crabapple blossoms - essence of spring, on a family heirloom lace tablecloth and plates. Swipe to see the first slice! 🌸✨ . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #grainfree #glutenfree #bundtcake #cake #beautifulcuisines #chefathome #foodphotography #delicious #almondflour #nordicware #coloradolife @nordicwareusa
Drinking coffee, listening to sweet bird song, watering new plants and seeds, a bit of weeding and taking a little video in my happy place this morning. I’m so grateful for the community garden program and my plot amidst it all. . So far my plantings include: Yukon Gold and Red Pasada potatoes Spring garlic A few onions I missed last year! Sugar Magnolia snap peas Cascadia snap peas Bloomingdale spinach Scarlet Nantes carrots Detroit red beets Golden beets Gardener’s Delight tomato San Marzano tomato Moskvich tomato Principe Borghese tomato Poblano chilies Long cayenne chili Volunteer cilantro! Volunteer endive! Volunteer fennel! I’m going to plant arugula and other mixed greens inside the bamboo tipis, and plunk in a butternut and/or spaghetti squash near the fencing, plus a few more herb plants and a second round of spinach. Ahhhhh..... garden love time is here .... 🌱☀️🌧🍅🌱🌱🌱🌱✨✨ . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #garden #communitygarden #urbangarden #growyourown #gardenlove #morninginthegarden #spring #eatlocal #slowfood #nature #vegetables #coloradolife
Happy Mother’s Day to you all, and to all our mothers, wherever they may be. 💕Our mom lived 2 years more after this photo was taken in the family kitchen in Muscatine, Iowa. She died of cancer when she was 44. I have always loved - hugging people cheek to cheek, and when, as an adult I came across this photo, I immediately understood why. Recreating the imprint of such beaming love, aw yes. . . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #mothersday #love #inthekitchen
Fabulous pizza making afternoon. Crispy prosciutto, Colorado goat brie cheese, parsley, walnut and lemon garlicky pesto, sautéed crimini mushrooms and onion, with a drizzle of warm mesquite honey, a scattering of Colorado bee pollen and lemon zest all on a puffy homemade gluten free chive crust. Swipe for the first slice! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there! ☀️🐝🐐🌱♥️🍕 . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #pizza #glutenfree #delicious #beautifulcuisines #eatlocal #coloradolife #westernculturefarmstead #goatcheese #brie #proscuitto #eeeeeats #foodphotography #chefathome #pesto @westernculturefarmstead
