We’ve previously shared how eating seasonally is one way to ensure a fully optimized immune system. Here’s a delicious warming recipe that is excellent for chilly days. The inspiration for this recipe comes from the book, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen,  co-authored by one of my favorite teachers from acupuncture school, Warren Sheir.
