    Pistachios are my go to food, they take time to eat, give you that salty crazing and there’s a good amount in a serving size, which yes I do measure out!

    Hmm, so many choices… I try to eat bitter greens like arugula, radicchio, etc. But when it’s colder I opt for healthy soups and broths to stay warm.

    Also making “pasta” from zucchini, parsnip, etc and feeling comfort from the fakes.
