FOOD AS PLEASUREWe naturally seek pleasure and avoid pain,

especially during eating. This doesn't mean only

eating pizza or ice cream, but en peu de tout (a little

bit of everything) never hurt anybody. Research

shows eating foods we enjoy increases nutrient

uptake and feelings of satisfaction. Europeans,

specifically the French, have expertise in eating

pleasurably and leisurely. Bringing our attention

back to how and what we’re eating retrains us to

taste every bite.

When we think of planning meals, it can often

sound like a daunting task. However, did you

know that planning meals ahead of time

actually helps you save time AND money!

CULTURAL CELEBRATIONCelebrated in Russia, the Ukraine, and Belarus, the Saviour of

the Apple Feast Day is an Eastern Slavic folk holiday that takes

place in August.  It predates Christianity as an ancient harvest

celebration, but has since become an Orthodox holiday,

celebrated by all.  The celebrations are marked by blessings,

processions and of course feasting on apples, and delicious

dishes containing apples.
