Hello October! It’s been a rough end of September (despite my holiday in Amsterdam, an abrupt five hour train delay, unexpected overlay in Brussels, and delayed house move has me feeling all worn out) so I’m actually looking forward to the longer evenings and curling up with a hot cocoa (or a chaga mushroom tea if I’m being really healthy!)
Along with the change of season comes the change of fruit and vegetables that are in season. Make a note of the following when popping down to your local market (or even supermarket) to make the tastiest and healthiest meals you can this month…
