Curry Coconut Carrot Soup
Ingredients:
10 carrots
1 onion
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon garlic
1/4th teaspoon cardamom
1/4th teaspoon cumin
¼ cup vegetable broth (use almond milk if you want it to be creamier)
1 cup coconut milk (canned)
oil (I used coconut oil)
salt and pepper to taste
Juice from 1 lime (optional)
A pinch of chili flakes (optional)
I like my soup thick (almost like a puree). If you want the soup to be thinner add more vegetable broth or water until you reach your desired consistency.
An extremely easy and healthy recipe.

Sauté onion, garlic, leafy greens, and zucchini

Cut the cauliflower into small pieces. Pulse the florets in a food processor or blender. Add a splash of olive oil (if needed).

Napa crunch salad
My dad made up this recipe and swore he would win a contest with it. The Napa Crunch Salad is simple, but I guarantee you will be surprised how the flavors come together. Serve with Caesar Cardini salad dressing or ranch.
It requires five ingredients:
napa cabbage (chopped fine)
red onion (chopped very fine)
cilantro (chopped)
Red Hot Blues (crumbled)
several tomatoes or red bell peppers (coarsely chopped)
Leftovers are excellent in sandwiches.
Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup
I took this recipe from my mom who originally got it from Dr. Ben Kim. The soup is very satisfying and even my little brother (who’s 8) loves it! The roasted cauliflower and potatoes make the soup thick and creamy so no need for dairy.
2 heads of cauliflower, cut into chunks
2 potatoes, cut into chunks
2 shallots, cut into chunks (regular onions can be used in a pinch)
2 cloves of garlic (or more)
