SALAD:    Spinach Salad with Tangerines and Pomegranate Seeds

Pomegranate seeds — or arils — have been symbols of fertility, prosperity, and eternal life for thousands of years. In ancient Persia and Greece, the pomegranate was considered a sacred fruit connected to goddesses like Persephone and Aphrodite. Today, it’s still a sign of good luck and renewal in many cultures — and nutrition-wise, it’s packed with antioxidants that support heart health and glowing skin.

DESSERT:    Croissants

Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.
