Today on City Cast Portland, we’re talking about “depression dining”: how to cook nourishing food when you don't have the energy or bandwidth to do much of anything. 

Eater Portland editor Brooke Jackson-Glidden joins us to share some of her best strategies and recipes for those short on time or will. It’s part of our weeklong focus on seasonal depression, where we talk with experts about how to guard our mental health during these short winter days.

Check out some of Brooke's "depression dining" recipes.
