Lemon and Dill Nutrition

01/05/2025

Yesterday, we harvested the last of the fresh dill growing in our garden to prepare for freezing temps arriving in north Texas tonight.🥶 Some was stored standing in a jar of water (like a bouquet of flowers) for use in the next few days. This storage technique will keep fresh herbs longer than dry stems stored in a plastic clamshell container. The remains dill was washed, dried & chopped, then, placed in one teaspoon portions in each well of an ice cube tray. One teaspoon of avocado oil was added to each “cube” and stored in the freezer. When frozen, cubes can be popped out of the tray into a freezer bag and kept frozen for future batches of Lemon & Dill Vinaigrette Salad Dressing! 🥗

Getting healthier can begin with one good habit at a time. Choose one to try for one week, then add a new one the next week. Here are some great ideas to get you started!

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive gadgets to transform your health—simple, consistent habits can make a profound difference.

Start by cutting out sugar and ultra-processed foods. These foods drive inflammation, disrupt your metabolism, and harm your gut microbiome, which plays a critical role in everything from immunity to brain function. Eliminating them allows your body to heal and perform at its best.

Incorporate daily movement, like walking. This simple habit improves circulation, strengthens your cardiovascular system, supports healthy metabolism, and boosts your mood by regulating stress hormones.

Prioritize quality sleep. During sleep, your body repairs damage, clears out toxins in your brain, and balances your hormones. Without it, even the best diet or exercise routine can’t compensate.

Health doesn’t have to be complicated. Focus on these fundamental steps, stay consistent, and give your body what it needs to thrive. Simple changes create lasting results.
