IT'S SOUP-ERB
Image item
I love a soup that serves as a full meal. I’m talking about meat, potatoes, vegetables, bone broth, and flavourful herbs. This dairy-free Goulash Soup has everything to create a complete meal, and it’s so rich in flavour, thanks to the garlic, onions, and parsley, simmering in red wine vinegar. It’s a truly soup-erior lunch that you'll crave all season long. 

 

DON'T FALL FOR IT

After soaking up the last few drops of sunshine this week, we know it’s only a matter of time before we’re shivering in our Ugg boots. Once the cold weather hits, it’s a lot more challenging to stay active, and get fresh air–all we want to do is hibernate, but I’m urging everyone to resist that feeling, just a little bit.
 
During the chilly months, I try to prioritize these seven things to stave off winter blues, and keep my mind and body feeling alert and inspired: 
 
1. Get lots of sleep.
2. Move your body, preferably outdoors.
3. Drink warm, spicy teas, with cinnamon, cardamom, and turmeric.
4. Start your day with a warm breakfast, like oatmeal topped with nuts and berries.
5. Eat seasonal foods, like roasted root vegetables.
6. Prioritize foods with vitamin D (to make up for less daylight), like salmon, tuna, cod, dairy, eggs, mushrooms, yogurt, zucchini, and tomatoes.
7. Reduce stress with meditation, saunas, or hot yoga or pilates.
 
These are just a few of the things I like to do for myself when I start to feel the draw of winter hibernation creeping in. And the mood boost I feel from all of these things is incredible–maybe even enough to make me love winter? Maybe…

When it comes to simmering soups, braising, or stewing, I love a Dutch oven. They distribute heat evenly, ensuring balance in your food’s texture, and help to retain flavours, too. They’re also incredibly durable, and can go straight from the stovetop to the oven (perfect for Shakshuka or a pan-seared steak).
 
 And best of all, a cast iron pan increases our iron intake—this boosts our energy, improves our cognition and immunity, and even helps with hair growth. This is how to cook your way to gorgeous hair.

Next newsletter arrives in November (whoa!) so I’ll be sharing a pre-holiday health check-in I like to do for myself. It’s my way of ensuring I’m getting everything I need from a nutrition and wellness standpoint to enjoy the holiday season, without burning the candle at both ends.

 

UNTIL NEXT TIME
Share the love,
