raw pad thai bowl with tofu.
Generally, I don’t dig raw food. I find it hard to digest and truly, I just prefer the texture of slightly mushy cooked veggies. I am a toddler, apparently. Great news, though: this isn’t the case for everyone! If you…

anti-inflammatory red lentil soup with caramelized onions.

homemade chickpea socca with sauteed spinach and vegan cheese.
