Cold weather was prominent throughout the country last week.
Unfortunately, cold and flu season tends to tag along with old man winter. Eating healthy allows your body to help protect itself against sickness. That doesn't mean you won't get sick, but you'll be better prepared when you have to fight a cold or flu. If you're already fighting a cold or flu, call in the superfood cavalry.

It gives me meat for multiple meals, is more sustainable and the flavor is out of this world.
Our thanks go out to Featured Chef,
