“The discover of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star.“
– Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
For Week 40, let’s try to incorporate seasonal vegetables like pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts into our meals. It is a good time to be trying soups and stews that are both nutritious and comforting. For breakfast, consider oatmeal topped with fruits and nuts. Lunch can be a colorful salad with a mix of greens, roasted veggies, and a protein source like chicken or tofu. Dinner ideas include baked salmon with quinoa and steamed vegetables. Don’t forget to experiment with spices and herbs to enhance flavors and boost health benefits.
