Follow the rainbow during a gray winter.

Eat healthy and have fun by selecting foods that form the colors of a rainbow or the colors of that tie-dye shirt you saw that stumbling gentleman wearing downtown yesterday, For example,

1. RED: Apples, beets, cranberries, Pomegrantes (great w/oatmeal if you have never tried them). Add apples and cranberries to your salad. Beets are great steamed but also are not that bad RAW.

2. YELLOW/ORANGE: Bananas, squash, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, carrots. You can boil sweet potatoes and mash them up with garlic and Kale in less than 30 minutes. Bananas are a great source of potassium and quick and easy.

3. GREEN: Spinach, Collards, Kale, Bok Choy, Swiss Chard, Broccoli, romaine lettuce. Raw spinach is a great base to any salad. You can steam the kale, collards, chard and bok choy quickly with some olive oil and add pepper flakes or sesame seeds and it tastes pretty good.

4. BEIGE: Turnips, Parsnips,Mushrooms, Cauliflower. Cut the root vegetables into cubes and drizzle some olive oil on them and roast them in the oven (mom Felsen has a great recipe for this, but be moderate with the feta cheese). WARNING: Buying and consuming the mushrooms from the gentleman with the Tie-Dye shirt downtown may make that salad seem very colorful.

Hope everyone has a great day! J. Felsen
