Comfort Food Sunday!!
Sometimes I just want to curl up and eat a hot bowl of something comforting, and this rainy Sunday calls for some plant based comfort food to fill my belly to the brim with warmth and goodness .
I need to eat lots of veggies though, I just don’t feel good if I don’t eat a pile of veggies every day…and today will not be an exception!
The answer….Veggie Casserole!! With a side salad of greens (romaine, shredded kale, and scallions) dressed in a light flax oil and lemon dressing, pure bliss!!
