Cold Weather Eating: 11 Immunity-Boosting Recipes You Can Make With Your Food Processor

As parents, our hope is to deliver health-supportive, nourishing meals to our loved ones, using the limited time and space that New York City life provides. Enter the food processor. Many of us already have one sitting in the cupboard. In these colder months, we may especially appreciate the smooth and nostalgic texture of pureed foods, which remind us of grandma’s mashed potatoes or the baby food we made for our infants. Around cold and flu season, we may also find ourselves hoping to take advantage of immunity-supporting power foods. The addition of garlic, honey, coconut, yogurt, zinc-rich steak, sweet potatoes, ginger, avocados, and the rainbow of phytonutrients in vegetables to our family’s diets adds variety, while packing an extra immune system-supporting punch. Include these fast, easy, and kid-friendly recipes in your kitchen repertoire for main dishes, condiments, and desserts, most of which can be prepared in under five minutes.
