During the springtime, I like to introduce foods that encourage eating a lighter diet and provide a transition from the heartier meals consumed during the winter months. Hummus with Young Living lemon essential oil invites the sun to shine and warm up the season. This delicious snack satisfies my appetite and helps me commit to eating lighter fare.

I wrote a simple poem about the pitfalls of weather-induced overeating and would like to share it with you:

I find it easy to eat light
When the weather is bright,
But when the rains pour,
It’s the cravings to watch for!

I stock up on healthy foods, so when temptation comes, I am prepared.

Happy Eating!

Chef Mandy
