10 Weekend Meditation Posts That Made Us Stop and Think

Dana’s Weekend Meditation series is a welcome, and usually much needed, breath of fresh of air every Sunday. While it is one thing to learn how to properly sear meat, or master the fine art of sugar cookies, it is another to thing to be an intuitive, thoughtful cook. This comes from practice, of course, but also from taking a step back and sometimes seeing the mess in your kitchen as something more than a chore. The Weekend Meditation series allows us to take a break each week and evaluate how food and cooking plays in our lives.

The following 10 posts are the most popular Weekend Meditation posts of 2013. As we head into a new year, take the time to read through Dana’s thoughtful ideas and bring her lessons to your own kitchen.
