Apples provide dietary fiber and antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. The dish also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals from the fresh herbs and vegetables. While the cream adds richness, it also provides fat-soluble vitamins. Enjoyed in moderation, this meal can be part of a balanced diet, offering comfort and nutrition in one delicious dish.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
