Hey there, friend. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re feeling a little down about things. We’ve all been there, and it’s okay to admit it. But one thing that can always lift our spirits, even when the world feels heavy, is good food.
As a food editor, I cook a lot, but let’s be honest, some days, I just can’t muster the energy for elaborate culinary creations. These are the days when I turn to my go-to, minimal-effort meals. They require just a handful of ingredients and can be whipped up even when my brain feels like it’s in a fog.
Think of these as your ‘depression meals’ – the kind of food that brings comfort without demanding too much from you. Maybe it’s a simple pasta dish with a jar of sauce and some grated cheese, or a comforting bowl of soup with just a few vegetables and broth. Whatever it is, it’s food that nourishes both body and soul.
So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, let this be your reminder that taking care of yourself, even in small ways, is important. Nourish yourself with something delicious and easy. We’re all in this together.
