Did you know that March is #NutritionMonth? As a naturopath, nutrition is always top of mind for me, but even still some days are harder than others getting enough vegetables into my family. And when it comes to nutrition, vegetables really are the name of the game. In my experience, though, people get into vegetable ruts. Especially when they have kids that seem to only eat cucumbers and carrots.

The good news is that I’m going to share a family favourite at our house. This ‘Rockin Moroccan Stew’ is originally from the Looneyspoons collection of recipes by Greta and Janet Podleski and is sure to become a favourite at your house, too. Best part is that it’s nutrient-dense and plant-based, it freezes beautifully, AND it’s easy to make. Win – win – win – win. Bonus points that it’s loaded with vitamin A which makes your skin glow from the inside out.

Here is how you make it:
