Loved these recipes! Healthy + yummy = happy nurse :)

Love the synergistic pairings

Wow! Its great idea. Unknowingly I was eating this kind of pairing food. I love to eat salad mixing with avocado, tomatoes, boiled egg in different kind of fresh green leaves. When I make pickle, I sprinkle pepper and turmeric in avocado tomato and cilantro mixed fresh pickle. Thank you for sharing this blog.
