Cauliflower Gnocchi with Roasted Tomato Sauce - All comfort with Zero Guilt

A gluten-free pasta primavera that’s not heavy, but very filling. This is a meal that can serve up leftovers to enjoy throughout the week. I’ve recently decided to forgo canned tomatoes and venture into making tomato sauce from scratch. What a difference a fresh tomato makes! The sauce is a bit more on the pink side, just like all those appetizing pics from the kitchens of Italy. I also find it…

Encouraging Words from Psalm 34

Psalm 34 gently reminds us that when God’s children speak to Him and of Him, He’s listening. Our prayers are being heard. He saves us, He keeps us, He delivers us, and He satisfies. I pray you’re encouraged to follow King David’s example today and discover the joy in trusting the Lord. Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Roasted Spicy Carrot Ginger Soup

Roasted Spicy Carrot Ginger Soup

The carrots in this soup are roasted prior to adding to the pot. The roasting brings out a sweetness and the ginger gives it a nice balance. I used ginger and turmeric for their healing properties such as reducing inflammation and settling an upset tummy. The bonus is that it makes this soup delicious! I hope you give it a try! https://youtu.be/XprKAvoBVI8 Enjoy!! Sharon xx

Vegan Curry - Chick Peas, Spice and Everything Nice!

Vegan Curry – Chick Peas, Spice and Everything Nice!

Snowy days and windy nights have arrived! Winter season has clearly rolled in for the next three or four months and with that, I’m craving warm and spicy meals. This dish can really spice up your week. It’s a light protein-packed meal that can be made heartier with a side of rice, quiona, couscous, or even a baked potato. If you like heat, go heavy on the cayenne pepper. I hope you enjoy it!

Mock Cod Cakes (A vegetarian fish cake!)

Mock Cod Cakes (A vegetarian fish cake!)

Among other things, I’ve missed drives out to the coast this year, so I wanted something to remind me of the ocean. Whether it’s the taste or the scent of these fish-less cakes, this dish was a nice little escape to the sea from my home kitchen. This video is part two from my previous video on YouTube where there’s a little bit of spirt-talk. I’m focusing on light and love and I hope you’ll join…
