After indulging for the holidays this week, we have come to the conclusion that we need to take a beat with the rich foods. In fact, I recently became aware of a new America’s Test Kitchen book, The Complete Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook. This delicious offering comes from that book (page 163).

Substituting and eating more whole grains like bulgar along with balancing veggies and proteins, seems like a good fit for us. We grew up on Diet for a Small Planet, so using more balanced nutrition makes sense, not that we haven’t gone off on food tangents from time to time.

After a week filled with all the traditional food memories, this is a welcome break – and it allowed us to make use of some of the wonderful veggies from our Clark Farm Winter Share (for locals, sign-ups for 2026 on their website) which is sadly drawing to a close next week. I’ll have a lot more to say about our experiences later, but for now, if you can, get your hands on this cookbook and nutrition guide, available through America’s Test Kitchen or from your favorite local independent bookstore.
