11. Ripe fresh fruits.

Especially citrus and blueberries, also young Thai coconuts, and Bananas.

Hit up the Asian market near you.

13. I got this answer from a friend, Spaghetti. They tell me spaghetti tastes 100x better when you’re sad.

Haven’t tested myself, but I trust them.

14. The “happy hormone” is most commonly found in chocolate and bananas. So chocolate & banana crepes would be amazing. –

16. Make a salad. Lettuce and tomato. Grill up some chicken and chop it up. Avocado for sure. Cucumber and whatever dressing you all like. Salt and pepper to finish it off. Yum.

17. Something with amino acids, zinc, iron, and B vitamins that they like might help. Hidden nutrient deficiencies are often a contributing factor to depression.

19. I’m gonna guess you’re not usually the one cooking? Honestly, a nice slow cooker meal will help the house smell great! Also, very easy prep if you’re unfamiliar with cooking. I’d suggest something like pot roast: get a cheap roast (chuck is always tasty), potatoes, carrots, beef broth and throw them in the slow cooker. Super easy! You can always add more/different ingredients like mushrooms, onions, rosemary, etc if you want to get fancier.
