Cook a meal for someone or several someones.
Creativity, caring, connection, plus eating. Hard to go wrong with that combo!
(And don't worry if you aren't a cook, just make Mac & Cheese or something and follow the instructions on the box. Relax and pay attention and it'll be fine.)

We do this for our neighbors every Christmas season. It’s quite fun to take over an entire meal to them (this year was a sausage lentil soup with whole wheat beer bread, and a bottle of wine). As the new year begins, we have found joy in cooking for ourselves again. A well-balanced healthy dinner feeds multiple parts of ourselves: the desire to eat well, the happiness of a hot, tasty meal, a mild de-tox from the holiday excesses.
