wanna save this resource for another time?
click the upper left corner of this photo and save it to your pinterest board! enjoy!
While the world was stocking up on toilet paper...I was stocking up on frozen veggies and baking ingredients.
The truth?
Food is always front of mind for me.
To me, food is love. Food is medicine. Food is energy. Food is health.
But on a much more basic level, food is also security. Sustenance. Non-negotiable.
Although we sometimes forget in the autopilot moments of our everyday, food is not optional—we must eat.
…And eating well can help us sleep better, elevate our mood, boost our immune system. These benefits are always important, but are especially so now in a time of health uncertainty. There is something so beautiful + calming about putting intention into the food you eat and “controlling the controllables” during this uncertain time.
what this post is (and isn’t…)
Now, let’s get one thing out of the way—this post is not about telling you to go stock up on 8974938754937 cans of tomato soup or 100 freeze-dried meals and clear the shelves. Nope. If you want a post that tells you to prepare for doomsday, this is not it.
I wrote this post to remind you that food security is not about panicking and hoarding…
It’s about shopping with intention.
Cooking with thought.
Using up what you already own.
Getting creative with your nourishment.
Sharing + donating with those less fortunate.
Being strategic with your ingredients.
Utilizing different businesses that will bring healthy food to you.
Lending a hand to those in need.
Maximizing the shelf life of food.
Getting reacquainted with your pantry items.
Playing around with recipes.
And ultimately, how you can fuel your body, mind, and spirit during this uncertain time.
Because the good news? I’m here to tell you that even when you are stuck at home, you can still put nourishing (and delicious!) food on the table. It may look a bit different than “normal,” but it IS possible…
...and here are 16 tips to get ya there. :) Let’s do this thang!
#1 first things first: food security
Before I move on, I want to acknowledge that even the discussion of food may be triggering to some right now. There’s no doubt about it—we are living in uncharted times, and you may find yourself in a position where you are suddenly struggling with food security, a lack of resources, or an inability to buy groceries. First of all, I want to say that I am so sorry, my sweet friend…I can’t imagine how heavy this must feel. But I know hearing “sorry” doesn’t solve your problem.
Something that can help? I urge you to reach out for local resources. There are soooo many services waiting + willing + wanting to help you navigate this unprecedented time. You are not alone, my friend.
The beauty of living in 2020 is that help and resources are just a Google search, phone call, or email away. Even in a pandemic, countless resources are still running full steam ahead in order to help those who need it during this difficult time. If you or your loved ones are struggling to put food on the table, there are soooo many resources and organizations ready to help you. Personally, I think Feeding America is a great place to start. If you or someone you know may be needing a little extra help right now, press the button below to see what food shelf options are available in your area:
Further…. if you find yourself in a position where you can afford to buy food (and may even have some extra resources to spare). Please, please, please consider donating to Feeding America, which benefits a network of food shelves allllll over the country (there are probably several branches right in your community!)
While many of us are used to donating spare canned goods to the food shelf, donating money can actually make a much bigger impact. Food shelves actually get certain purchasing privileges so they are able to buy wayyyyyy more per dollar than we can. Get this—for every $1 you donate, they can buy TEN meals. That’s TEN meals for our brothers + sisters who need to eat. That’s beautiful. If you have a spare $5, $50, or $500, I can’t think of a more impactful way to donate right now to nourish our neighbors.
I’ll leave you with this quote: “When ‘we’ replaces ‘I,” even illness becomes wellness.”
#2: elevate your meals with holistic immune boosters
Alllllright, let’s dig in. This is probably my favorite nutrition tip of the post because if there were ever a time to focus on integrative health + holistic immune boosters, it would be right now. While I believe theeee absolute BEST method to avoiding the COVID-19 illness is staying in your house, self-isolating, washing your hands, etc…there are some beautiful, natural immune boosters to support your immune system at this time.
By no means am I saying that these herbs + foods are going to make you immune to COVID-19—but it never hurts to give your body some functional tools that help keep your immune system strong + kickin’! I have been using these nutrients, herbs, and ingredients around the clock lately—infusing them into beverages, smoothies, dinners, using tinctures…(as with any supplements, please check with your doctor to see if these are the right options for you!)
7 natural immune boosters to incorporate into your diet right now:
Echinacea: Numerous studies have correlated this powerhouse herb with shortening the duration and severity of colds and other upper respiratory infections when given when symptoms begin. You can have this in tincture form, but I prefer having this echninacea tea on repeat. Sooooo good.
Chaga mushroom: My personal opinion…chaga is basically the superwoman of the mushroom fam. It’s overflowing with antioxidants, and it is soooo insanely good for fighting free-radical damage + boosting your immune system. I generally try to have this mixture 2 times a week for general wellness (mixed into a smoothie, my coffee, etc.) but when I feel a little cold sneaking up on me….this is my absolute go-to for a quick, effective immune bolster! (Save 15% on the chaga I use with the code KE15)
Reishi mushroom: Due to their work as an “immune modulator,” reishi mushrooms can help restore homeostasis and promote immune function. Again, this mushroom is packed with antioxidants and is shown to be anti-inflammatory in nature. Not to mention, this mushroom is incredibly calming and something that I turn to in moments of overwhelm. Adam drinks his reishi hot cocoa before bed and he calls it his “zen in a pouch.” (Again, safe 15% on reishi mushrooms with the code KE15)
Elderberry: Mmmmmm, elderberry. Another immune go-to of mine. I have been supplementing with this tincture during this COVID-19 outbreak. Traditionally used to treat influenza and colds, elderberry is associated with counteracting oxidative stress and boosting the immune system. If you are a data junkie like me, I found this study very interesting: researchers injected mice with influenza A virus and tested the effect of elderberry administration on the duration and impact of the virus. Results showed that the mice that received elderberry had suppressed viral replication and increased the level of the influenza A antibody, thus indicating that elderberry had a beneficial effect by the stimulating immune response and preventing viral infection in mice. So cool!
Vitamin D3: This past spring I wrote a paper about the role of vitamin D levels in immune health and it blew my mind. Of course I knew that vitamin C was important—but I had zerooooo clue just how crucial vitamin D was for optimal immune function. Studies have shown that people with vitamin D deficiency are 11 times more likely to get a cold or flu…not only that, those who supplement with vitamin D reduced colds/flu by 42%. Personally, I take this vitamin D supplement—but as always, check with your doc!
Turmeric: As you know from one of my most popular posts, my Sunshine Milk recipe, I LOVE turmeric. This beautiful, bold, yellow spice revs up your immune system while fighting inflammation. This one spice is proven to have antioxidant effects, reduce both chronic and acute inflammation, do wonders for your digestion, annnnnd inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria, pathogenic fungi, and parasites. You can find 3 different recipes for a nourishing, calming turmeric latte here (pssssst: I bet you have alll the needed ingredients in your kitchen right now, *wink*).
Garlic: I mean…who DOESN’T love garlic??? I’m the person who will double the amount of cloves the recipe calls for because I just love the flavor and aroma of garlic sooo much, ha! Not only is it deeelish, garlic is one of the most impactful ingredients you can add for immune health. Garlic has been used for centuries for its properties of empowering the immune system and its antioxidant effects. Garlic is correlated with being effective against bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections, enhancing the immune system, and having anti-tumor and antioxidant effects. Delicious and healthy. Enjoy!
Lemons: Qhile I am supplementing with extra vitamin C during times like this (I personally take this brand), I first turn to natural food sources for needed nutrients. If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ll know I have a warm lemon water every single AM to kick off my hydration + digestion. An added bonus? Lemons are great sources of vitamin C, are full of soluble fiber, and add amaaaaaazing flavor to dishes. :) Other great dietary sources of vitamin C include red bell peppers, broccoli, and spinach!
#3: plz get this specific cookbook. seriously.
Alright, guys. I had to kick it off with one of my best-kept cooking secrets. A major theme of this post is going to be to USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, and there is one magical tool that can make that a whoooole lot easier.
The truth? I rarely tell people they “need” to buy something.
...But you need this cookbook.
In a world where there are 793247892973 cookbooks, why is this one so special, Kate? Welp. Let’s dig in.
“The Kitchen Shelf” is an entiiiire cookbook built around 20 staple pantry items (peanut butter, rice, eggs, etc.) that you probably already have in your cabinet right now—waiting to be used. The beauty of this book is that it gives you SO MANY recipes based off of these boring, everyday items, giving you options no matter what you do (or don’t) have stocked up in your kitchen right now. These recipes are simple, nourishing, and affordable. It is perfect for the “omg we have nothing in the fridge” moments because there is a fullllll book of recipes that you can make with the “boring” staples in your cabinets. I genuinely could not recommend a cookbook any more highly—especially now, when families are spending more time in the kitchen and have less access to the grocery store. This book will help you put together a full meal no matter what.
Alllllllright, Kate.
I have to physically stop myself from typing about how much I love this book, but 12/10 would recommend you getting yourself a copy.
Okay, really though—rant over.
…But I just love it so much.
Please get it.
Okay, bye.
#4: being prepared versus being panicked: how to grocery shop during this time
My mantra during COVID-19: it is possible to be prepared without being panicked. In this uncertain time, I don’t want you to think “worst case scenario,” but I do think that having a bit of structure and plan around your nourishment around this time can bring you a lot of peace.
What this means for me? Grocery shopping with a little extra dose of intention. Buying pretttttty much all of my “normal” things, with a little extra thought about versatility and longevity of the ingredients I choose—picking up a few extra shelf-stable foods, pantry items, and non-perishables than I normally do. (Beans, canned tomatoes, flour, rice, legumes, freezer items…)
Again, this isn’t about more, more, more—it’s about more bang for your buck—foods that can be used in multiple ways, last a long time, and can still fuel ya!
really quick question—
does grocery shopping feel overwhelming to you?
Because, if so, I made a 10000% FREE resource to help you navigate the grocery store with ease.
Read below to hear what people are saying about my grocery shopping guide freebie!
Because I know that many of you feel overwhelmed while in the grocery store… How do you truly know what’s “healthy”? How do you keep it affordable? What ingredients should you focus on? Is it even possible to make “eating healthy” SIMPLE?
If this sounds like you, check out the free resource I created that walks you through my personal grocery shopping list and approach to cooking + nourishment. If you’re ready to simplify your shopping + relationship with food, click that button below. It’s 100% free and I made it for YOU. :) Enjoy!
#5: pantry party!
Going off of grocery shopping…let’s dive in to one specific thing you should be focusing on right now: YOUR PANTRY. As you know from my Personal Grocery Shopping List, I consider myself to be somewhat of a pantry queen *hair flip*.
…And that’s never been more true than during a quarantine.
In case you aren’t quite sure what qualifies as a “pantry,” basically it is a bunch of basic and versatile food staples that can be eaten alone or mixed ‘n’ matched to create recipes. Think: soup broths, canned vegetables, beans, rice, olive oil, flour, etc.
I know it’s not exactly exciting to buy these ingredients, but all these “boring” purchases are what create the foundation of thousands of nourishing meals.
If you have never really “built” out a pantry, now is the time! The main thing to keep in mind while choosing these ingredients? Nutritious but versatile. Foods that are easy to store and have a long shelf-life.These items are soooo multi-faceted, cost-effective, long lasting, and can combine to create some magic. Trust me on this—I know this is a “boring” hack, but it’s probably the most important step. If you want meals that are shelf-stable, versatile, and nourishing—build that pantry, woman!
#6: get pantry items delivered to your door:
Okay, if you’re ready to jumpstart your pantry, but your access to the grocery store is limited right now due to COVID-19…
PRO TIP: many of you know that I typically stock up on my pantry items with Thrive Market. I’ve used Thrive for over a year, and I love that I can find high-quality, all-natural foods sooooo much cheaper than the grocery store (….annnnnd not to mention, that it ships straight to my door). I will always advocate for shopping locally to reduce your carbon footprint, but 3ish times per year I do a big “pantry” haul on Thrive Market— and it’s especially nice now when everyone is staying home. Just yesterday, I got a big ol’ box full of spaghetti sauces, olive oil, seasonings, nuts, seeds, baking ingredients, crackers, beans, pasta, tea…while I was safely quarantined.
I don’t really know how to describe Thrive Market…but it’s kind of like if if your local Food Co-op + Aldi + Amazon Prime had a baby, ha! Healthy food that is 20–30% cheaper than grocery stores + ships straight to your door. High quality for a low price? Yes, please.
If you are curious, here is a link that gives you an extra 25% off and free shipping. I wasn’t paid to post this or anything—just a classic refer-a-friend coupon! This is just an extra lil tip to add some ease to your pantry grocery shopping during this strange time. :) Enjoy!
#7: mindful eating
Mindful eating is something that is sooooo overlooked in the wellness space. We fixate on what we are eating—micronutrients, adaptogens, and any “buzzword” food fad—but we often overlook how we eat. How many times have you finished eating a meal and realized you didn’t even really taste it or remember it?
In this stressful and uncertain time, it is extra important to bring a sense of presence, joy, and calm to our meals. Not only does this intention + focus on our food physiologically change how we digest and absorb our food, but it also increases satisfaction of the meal. This is especially relevant as we are now stuck at home for a few weeks with the temptation of eating in front of the TV, scarfing down our lunch while typing on our computer (#WorkFromHome), numbing our anxiety with food, eating when we are bored…it’s time to bring mindfulness and intention to our food. Let me know if you try this ritual and tell me what you notice in terms of meal satisfaction, dinnertime conversation, enjoyment of food, etc…
Here is a simple mindful eating ritual I developed that you can steal:
Prepare an area to eat your meal (don’t underestimate the power of ambiance, friend!)
Minimize distractions (that means turning the TV and phone off—easier said than done, I know!)
Now this is important: tangibly pause before you take your first bite and give gratitude for your food
Inhale and exhale for 3–5 very deep breaths (this activates your parasympathetic “rest + digest” body response)
Silently name and go through every single food item you see on your plate (ex: wild rice, cranberries, feta cheese, spinach, chicken, etc.)
This is a subtle self-practice (no one will even notice you are doing it!), but by beginning your meal from this place of presence, relaxation, and intention, you can be much more joyful and present as you eat.
#8: seek out local farms
Again going off of the theory “it is possible to be prepared without being panicked,” a big purpose of this blog post was to give you out-of-the-box options for acquiring food. I told you about Thrive Market, and I have a few at-home-delivery boxes I’m going to mention later in this post, but THIS source of healthy food is my fav…
Supporting area farmers. Local. Fresh. Environmentally friendly. My absolutely favorite!
As you know from following along on this blog—having nourishing, all-natural food is absolutely crucial to me. For me, it is really important to ensure that I have access to beautiful produce no matter what happens. I feel at ease knowing that we are members of our local farm food CSA, which provides Adam and me with beautiful, organic vegetables, fruit, and high-quality meat year-round.
I am always an advocate for supporting local agriculture, but especially in a time where the globalized supply chain is being challenged, the significance of local food security has become increasingly clear! It feels SOOOO good to have a connection to a local, fresh, nourishing food supply—both in general and in the “what if” scenarios that can pop into my mind. We have absolutely loved our CSA farm food share for over 2 years, and are so thankful for it in this season of uncertainty. I just wanted to share this as a recommendation for fresh food that you may not have thought of. :)
If you are interested in finding a farm share near you: this website is awesome to identify local farms nationwide. TO ALL MY DULUTH, MINNESOTA PEEPS: I personally use Bayfield Farms CSA for veggies, fruit, meat, cheese, baked goods, locally produced goodies, annnnnnd even fresh flowers. :) This refer-a-friend button will save you $25 when you become a CSA member! ENJOY!
#9 play around + use what you have!
Okay, okay—I knowwwww I am a “glass half full” kind of person, and I am not trying to make light of this situation whatsoever.
…buuuuut to go off of the previous tip of maximizing your resources, I think of this as a fun opportunity to CHALLENGE yourself to use up the items and ingredients you already have!
AKA, friend, it is TIME to open up that bag of white beans that’s been sitting in your cabinet for a year. It’s the right moment to defrost those veggie burgers that are near freezer burnt. It’s your chance to get creative with the can of anchovies in the pantry. Go on Pinterest. Google a recipe. Open up a cookbook. Play around. Experiment!
Not only does this reward you financially because you’ll need to buy less “new” food, but it reduces food waste, and gives you a chance to play + get creative + ultimately offer a bit of healthy distraction during an uncertain time.
Basically this tip is about a shift in mindset—challenge yourself to find joy in this extra time at home, especially in the kitchen! Get creative, play around, and ultimately MAKE USE of the ingredients you already have.
I did this just the other day—I finalllllly made a granola recipe that I’d been wanting to make myself for a while. I found myself with extra time at home during quarantine, so I committed. I asked my co-worker for the recipe (thanks, Ingrid!) and it turns out I had every single ingredient on hand this whole time! All I needed was this little extra dose of time at home to finally make it. (It was 10/10 delicious, by the way.)
I know this COVID-19 situation is not ideal whatsoever, but ya can’t deny that this extra time does serve as a beautiful opportunity to reacquaint yourself with cooking + baking + experimenting + playing around in the kitchen. I highly recommend you take inventory of what you already own, find a recipe for it, and get cookin’, friend! *chef’s kiss*
#10: don’t forget about protein!
People often think of vitamin C and ginger ale when they are sick, but did you know that protein is critical for immune function? This is a super simple tip, but one of my nutrition hacks for quarantine is to ensure you are getting adequate protein. Experts recommend consuming approximately 1 gram/kg/day (to estimate this quantity, just divide your body weight in lbs. by 2).
I am focused on having some quality protein sources locked + loaded and ready to go: nuts, seeds, tofu, local + pasture-raised meats, legumes, beans, quinoa, and on my fav protein powders. (I get asked this quite frequently, but the only two protein powders I use are Nuzest brand (“THEFOUNDATIONBLOG” saves you 15%) and Vital Proteins collagen. I love them! Clean ingredients, high protein content, and blend sooo well!)
This is a simple tip, but I wanted to include it as many of us consume less protein than what is recommended. Nothing major here, but just focus on making sure you are hitting near that 1 gram/kg per day! They call it an essential nutrient for a reason. :)
#10: for all my friends with dietary restrictions…
if you’re like me, you have alllllll the intentions to homemake bread… but realistically it only happens about every few months (….if that). the reality is, life is BUSY, and often I don’t have time to homemake bread…. but that doesn’t mean I don’t want it!
i loooooove carbs + breads + all the starchy things, but i also want to make sure it is quality and full of ingredients that are easy for me to digest and won’t add any unnecessary inflammation. BREAD SRSLY is gluten free, egg free, dairy free, vegan….. basically ever buzzword you could ever want (ha!) that is delivered right to your door. you can do a one-time purchase or a subscription— either way, you’ll have fresh (healthy + nourishing) bread delivered to your door!
i just wanted to pass along this resource to all my fellow dietary restricted gals that still crave a delicious load of bread. you are one delivery away from warm from the oven bread, dipped in olive oil and balsamic………*drooling uncontrollably* try BREAD SRSLY here >>>
#11: use your freezer!
Okay, some of you are probably saying “duh.” But I honestly think freezers are SO under-appreciated and undervalued in times like this. Some of the things I stocked up on right now—berries, pasture-raised meats, nuts/seeds…all of these hold up great in the freezer and are packed with nutrients so I can save them for when I need them. :) When used with a bit of strategy, freezers can be KEY in stocking up on food.
Did ya make extra soup? Freezer.
Have a few extra cookies that you want to save? Freezer.
Wanna make some crockpot meals ahead of time? Freezer.
Some berries that are on the brink of expiring? Freezer.
Buying veggies, meat, and bread in bulk? Freezer.
Some pantry items that you aren’t ready to use quuuuite yet? Freezer.
Take this an opportunity to become besties with your freezer! Be strategic and extend the shelf-life of soooo many food items. Now more than ever, don’t let food go to waste! Cook ‘em up, store ‘em, and freeze ‘em for when ya need ‘em. :)
#12: ...and stock your freezer with this
All this freezer talk brings me to two of my favorite things right now during this weird season. Splendid Spoons + Daily Harvest meal delivery kits.
Okay—can I be honest for a second? I used to kind of judge home delivery meal services. Like, did people really need them?
…Then I tried one. And I finally understood.
It’s not that I can’t cook myself healthy meals—buuuuuut there is something so peaceful + easy + effortless about having healthy, vegetable-rich, nutrient-dense food that is 100% ready to go shipped to my door. It makes eating healthy so much easier, reduces the temptation to eat out on the lazy nights, and ensures that you always have some healthy meal options ready to go in the freezer.
I personally have used Splendid Spoons for the past five months (obsessed), and I also recently tried Daily Harvest and am lovin’ it, as well. Both of them have beaaaautiful, all-natural ingredients. The main difference is that Splendid Spoons is fully blended and ready to go, while Daily Harvest requires you to blend the smoothies and sauté the lunches/dinners. Another big bonus for me—both of them are very conscious and all of their packaging is fully recyclable. Again, it’s always better to shop local + low-waste, but as far as meal delivery kits go, these are the best, most environmentally aware I have seen!
Here’s a peek inside my freezer. :) Lots of frozen veggies, nuts, meat, bulk ingredients, annnnnd these bad boys ready to go!
The taste is honestly so good. The ease is unbeatable.
…But the main thing I love about this? The peace of mind + convenience of having plant-based, healthy food delivered to my door.
I am not someone who orders these weekly, but more about once every 6-8 weeks. I only eat them when I’m running short on time or just need a quick meal + this system works great for me!
However…I am tempted to get them more often now during quarantine, because…
1) You don’t have to leave the house to eat healthy and get fresh veggies + fruit
2) They can be stored in the fridge or the freezer for when you need them
3) They are jam-packed with beautiful whole-food nutrients for some much-needed quarantine nourishment and…
4) They require ZERO cutting, prepping, or blending (sooo easy on these work-from-home days!)
If this sounds like a fit for ya, here are 2 great coupons to stock your freezer with beautiful, nourishing meals!
AKA whole food fruit + veggie meals delivered to your door, freezer ready for when ya need them…It’s a no-brainer, sis.
#13: order takeout from your favorite restaurants
Depending on your town’s restrictions on this, it may not be an option—buuuut I just wanted to throw it out there that you could also consider getting a meal pick-up from a local restaurant! Not only does this take some burden off of cooking, but you are directly supporting the local businesses who have taken a major hit during this time. I personally have loved seeing the creativity of so many of my favorite restaurants—gift card deals, door pickup, delivery, take-home meal kits…let this be an opportunity to support them during this time!
#14: …but, wine
Hahahahhaha, I mean I couldn’t NOT talk about wine, ok? :)
While definitely not cruuuuucial to quarantine nutrition, it sure is a beautiful addition, am I right? One of the highlights of my quarantine has been a soul-filling [virtual] chat while sipping wine with friends on a socially-isolated FaceTime date.
Just in case you are a wine-lover like me, I wanted to let you know about the home-delivery service I use for wine: I source all of my wine from Naked Wines. This service works exclusively with small vineyards and bottles average only $8–$12…the quality is insane.
I’ve gotten so many of my friends hooked! I’m 3 years into using this service and LOVE. IT.
If you’re interested click here and you’ll get my voucher for $100 of your first box :)
#15 nurture that gut microbiome
Gut health is cruuuuucial for immune health, and a major part of keeping a healthy gut is nurturing a robust gut microbiome. You can do this by eating fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, etc.), drinking kombucha, or supplementing with a probiotic. Big takeaway: a health microbiome supports a health immune system, serving as a major helper against pathogens—nurture your gut health at this time!
#16: give yourself grace
Laaaaast but certainly not least—it’s time to accept that your nutrition may not look exactly as it has previously. And that’s okay! One important facet of this is taking each day in stride and doing the best you can with the resources you have. Maybe you didn’t have as many veggies as normal. Maybe you ate some more snacks as you adjusted to working from home. Maybe you [insert eating thing here]…it’s okay. Please be kind to yourself. You are doing your best.
Because, as long as you have food in front of you—it’s okay. As long as there is intention behind your eating, “good enough” is soooo much more than good enough. It doesn’t really matter what you are eating right now as long as your body is getting nourishment.
Again, this is a basic human need that many in this country are struggling with right now. If you are able, I highly encourage looking into donating to Feeding America to ensure that alllllll of us are able to stay fueled during this time. “Perfect” nutrition or not, we all need food during this time—and if you are able to help with that, I think that’s one of the best gifts you could ever give right now. :)
Main takeaway: give yourself grace, friend. Your nutrition may not look like it “normally does” and that is 100% okay. Do what you can with what you have + take peace in that.
kate, people are worried about jobs and finances and the economy, and you want to talk about food???
That’s right. Food is comfort. Food is love. But, most importantly, food is not optional.
We are all going through this quarantine differently—one of the only common threads we have right now is that we all need to eat.
I wanted this post to give you some tangible resources on how to obtain, cook, and find joy in your food during this time.
With so much love,
Kate
