As the season gets colder we naturally crave warm comforting foods. According to the ancient Indian tradition of Ayurveda our bodies crave these foods because they help lubricate our system. We need to shield our body from the dryness that the Fall chill can bring forth. In order for our skin and body to remain fresh and moist, it’s essential that we adjust our meals according to the season. Swap out that cold salad for a nice warm stew. Here is one of my favorite recipes that will keep you satiated during the colder months.
Hearty Vegetable Stew

Ingredients
1 medium onion, chopped
