When the weather is chilly I don’t stop intake my daily dish. Instead I alter the elements. Within the fall and winter, you’ll notice Maine adding dried fruits, seeds, apples, pears, roast squash and Belgian capital sprouts and spiced balmy to my huge vessel of dish daily. This can be seasonal dish intake.
