Culinary Herbs! These flavorful gems add zing to your meals and can provide some potentially anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties that support immune function and overall health.  Try out these three herbs, often found growing wild or pretty cheap to purchase from the store and keep on your window sill. (NOTE: They are not meant to substitute seeking medical  advice or treatment if you need it.  They are meant to support your overall health.)

Please see the video for more info on specific properties of each herb.

Below are recipes from fellow dietitian nutritionists:

1. Cauliflower Gnocchi with Kale & Rosemary from EA Stewart

First things first: I love chocolate. I love kale. And I consume them both regularly, but generally not at the same time (although, ask me about my chocolate, berry & kale smoothie!) I also love helping people find easy ways make their body, mind, and life better while also making eco-friendly choices that support the health of our planet.
