Most of us have meals or recipes that we consider traditions, but what we forget is that they don’t have to be difficult and time consuming.
The best sprinkled-with-good-nutrition traditions are ones that can be repeated and enjoyed. So, please keep it simple. Making time to cook isn’t always easy so do your best to choose a tradition that’s meaningful and also quick to fix. Will something below be your ‘spark’ to a delicious, new food tradition? I hope so.
