Home kitchen meets farmers market...
When CSA gives you pumpkin and squash… you instantly become a baker, a barista, and a soup chef all at once.
Seasonal multitasking activated. 💛

A soup of the mood — impossible to repeat.
Mixed from a few recipes and a lot of instinct:
red lentils, butternut squash purée, coconut milk, onions, garlic, and spices—cumin, cinnamon, a touch of cayenne. Finished with lime juice and black salt for the umami.

Colder days always pull me toward something spicy, warm, and comforting. Lately, that comfort has taken the shape of a bowl of soba noodles with soy curls tossed with shitake mushrooms, bok choy, and spinach — all wrapped in a spicy Japanese style sauce.

For protein in my vegan borshch, I picked dry lima beans and soaked them for 12 hours.
But even after almost two and a half hours of cooking, some were still hard while others turned soft.

Today I crafted a vegan Ukrainian borshch — ruby-red and earthy, blooming with the aromas of beets and garlic.
A bowl of warmth that tastes like my childhood home, but with a plant-powered twist.

Always presoak dried beans.
Soaking will help with digestibility and make your slow-cooked beans tender in less time.

I've been having the Mediterranean chickpea crunch wrap all week (I use Vegenaise instead of olive oil), and it's delicious and beautiful. #vegan
