Hello Hannah,

We like to think about cooking and preparing meals as learning, loving and nurturing—a priority for ourselves and the people we care about. What better way to express self-love and love for others than through food!

Optimism, Joy, and the Daily Rhythm of Life

Look at Oldways’ ﬁve Heritage Diet Pyramids — African, Asian, Latin, Mediterranean, and Vegetarian. At the base of each Pyramid, you’ll see the instruction to “enjoy meals with others.” Enjoyment is an important ingredient in every meal! The power of optimism can bring greater happiness and health to our lives.

What is more joyful than a healthy pasta meal? This simple, yet classic dish is full of our favorite things: extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs, Parmigiano Reggiano, sweet cherry tomatoes, sautéed onion and of course—pasta!

Grilled Pineapple with Strawberries and Mint

Enjoy fruit like they do in the Mediterranean – for dessert! Grilled pineapple is quick and easy to make, and fresh strawberries and mint complement its caramelized ﬂavor perfectly. Try using the marinade for other fruits too, such as peaches and mangos.
