Thanks, Jim.  For me, I can memorize them better if I make food associations with the body parts & wearables/accessories
 1. Hair - Dark Chocolate (the color of my hair is dark brown)
 2, Brain- Walnut (imagining a big walnut inside my head; shape similar to brain)
 3. Nostrils- Blueberries (2 stuck on both nostrils)
 4. Bra - Leafy Vegetables (my swimsuit's prints are leafy vegetables like Kale and spinach)
 5. Ears  - Broccoli (green earrings with broccoli design)
 6. Eyes - Eggs (imagining two eggs protruding from both eyes)
 7. Lips- Wild Salmon (downsized;  orange color lipstick with lips shaped like salmon)
 8. Feet - Turmeric (most people joke about feet that have a shape like ginger/turmeric)
 9. Belly-  Avocado (shape like my waistline and hips)
10. Back - Olive Oil, Coconut Oil ( imagining an inverted triangle/trapezoid bottle shape)

I will never forget these 10 brain food associations as long as I live.

Here's a delicious and nutritious recipe that incorporates the ingredients you mentioned:

Salmon Broccoli Stir-Fry with Turmeric Avocado Sauce and Blueberry Walnut Dark Chocolate Bark

Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with turmeric powder. Bake until the salmon is cooked through.

3. While the salmon is baking, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp. Set aside.

4. In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth to make the turmeric avocado sauce.

5. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Then, flake it into bite-sized pieces.

6. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the steamed broccoli and sauté for a few minutes.

7. Add the flaked salmon to the skillet with the broccoli, along with the turmeric avocado sauce. Stir to combine and heat through.

8. In a separate small bowl, combine the blueberries and chopped walnuts.

9. Melt the dark chocolate chips. Once melted, pour it over the blueberries and walnuts, spreading it out to form a thin layer. Place in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.

10. Once the chocolate bark has hardened, break it into smaller pieces.

11. Serve the salmon and broccoli stir-fry with a side of the turmeric avocado sauce. Garnish with the blueberry walnut dark chocolate bark pieces.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
