Winter greens - nourish yourself this holiday season
Sunday, December 11, 2022
Hi Friend,
When the weather gets colder and we start to crave more comforting foods to stay warm, our plates tend to have less color on them - which equals fewer nutrients. The Mediterranean Diet emphasizes how important it is to eat lots of different colored fruits and vegetables. Below you'll find a selection of recipes that will give you some delicious ways to incorporate healthy green foods into your seasonal winter menus.
Of course, there is plenty of room on our plates for holiday treats, too! Check out my Hanukkah recipe collection here.

KEFTES DE ESPINACA - More nutritious than a potato latke, these spinach and potato patties are a unique and delicious vegetarian take on the kefte concept. Because keftes are pan fried, they are often served for Hanukkah to commemorate the miracle of the oil. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.

VEGAN SPANAKOPITA - I recently challenged myself to create a vegan spanakopita recipe for people who are avoiding dairy foods or animal products. I focused on making a filling of pure greens flavored with healthy ingredients that capture the salty tang of feta, without the need for cheese. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.

MATCHA GREEN TEA LATTE - Matcha gives you an energy boost without the crash you might experience after a strong cup of coffee. This matcha latte is a surprisingly perfect marriage of tea and creamy milk; when lightly sweetened, it is truly a treat. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.

KALE CAESAR SALAD - This salad is always a favorite with family and friends. Topped with a creamy, zesty roasted garlic dressing, Parmesan cheese, and toasted panko breadcrumbs, every bite is full of flavor. RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.

PISTACHIO ROSE BLONDIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE - I couldn't share a recipe email this close to the holidays without including a treat. And pistachios are technically green... right? This easy dessert treat is super simple to make, and one of the most delicious things to ever come out of my kitchen. Perfect for the holidays! RECIPE HERE or PIN IT for later.
