Sometimes the most nourishing magic is found in everyday meals. The kind you can throw together at the end of a long day, or make for your family on a slow weekend morning. This post continues our journey with cilantro—but with even simpler, cozier dishes that invite in warmth, healing, and connection.
If you have extra cilantro on hand, these are some of my favorite low-fuss, soul-soothing ways to use it.

Magic Focus: Gratitude, joy, and shared connection
Use fresh chopped cilantro in:
Pico de Gallo (tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime, salt)

Black bean, veggie, or shredded chicken filling
Spell tip: Stir your salsa or toppings clockwise while saying:
"With each bite, may love and laughter grow."
