Like a sauce with its layers of flavors, the details of how you eat blend together to create something truly nourishing — your delicious diet, one ingredient at a time.

How you eat
When you combine these ingredients, you have a special recipe for health and happiness. It’s the perfect diet.
Your diet inspires your relationship with food, and it goes with you everywhere.
In the U.S., there’s more focus on what to eat than how to eat. But one simple shift in how you eat can improve your relationship with food — and how you feel.
This season, one very easy adjustment you can make in your diet is to eat … outside!
This simple change can transform your mood, the way you experience your food, and the mindfulness you bring to eating.
Imagine a bowl of summer soup and a salad — any simple meal — out of doors. Eating outside awakens the senses. Colors are more vibrant. The fresh air is delicious. It’s a reminder to breathe, to rest and digest.
If setting up outside feels like effort, remember: this good exercise can save you time and stress in the end. There’s less to clean up — leave those crumbs for the birds. Let the kids run around barefoot in the grass while you finish your meal.
Eat the season, and take it in when you can.
Let this be a simple routine that anchors you —
a habit that turns ordinary meals into something memorable.
So, join me at the Table outside, whenever you can — on a Monday, when it’s a little too warm, or even when it’s cloudy. Take a seat. Create an experience, not just a meal.
In the end, a delicious diet isn’t just about what’s on your plate.
It’s about the food you choose, the people you share it with, and the way you slow down to enjoy it.
