Beginning this week I will be posting colored foods mostly focusing on smoothie/beverage/juice etc etc but not restricting to that alone. I know I have been silent for a week. I just wanted to take it easy because this year the seasonal allergy was at its worst.It started right on the day I went to DC to gaze on the Cherry Blossoms.
For the most part I decided to suffer through it because I didn't want my body to be so dependent on Claritin. The nose and eyes were put to a test and I did give in a week later because it was affecting my concentration at work and cognitive skills in general.So I didn't cook much too cause my nose was always looking for any trigger to make me sneeze million times a minutes.
Ingredients (For 1 Serving):

Kohlrabi Green and Vegetables Dry Curry:
Spinach and Paneer "Palak Paneer":
Sukuma Wiki With Collard Greens:

ReplyDeleteWow! Look at those colors! You know the more colors on your plate, the more healthy. You have definitely proven that- Awesome.
ReplyDeleteOne of the remedies for treating allergies is by using a local honey from your area. The bees pollinate many of the local pollens and honey contains those pollens, this helps to build resistance.
I hope you have relief soon.
