• Spice it Up: Add chili flakes, fresh ginger, or curry powder to give your meals a kick.
• Use Seasonal Produce: Incorporate whatever fruits and vegetables are fresh and local — this keeps your meals vibrant and affordable.
• Try International Cuisines: Explore dishes inspired by Mediterranean, Asian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern flavors to keep your palette excited.
