This pasta recipe was inspired by our son’s love of purple sweet potatoes. During the winter months, my husband prepared a pureed purple sweet potato soup, and our son really enjoyed it! After that, we decided to incorporate them more into our meals. Purple sweet potatoes are also, of course, incredibly nutritious and full of antioxidants. Purple sweet potatoes are full of vitamin C and fiber, and also have cancer-preventing properties.
Our lentil loaf recipe is one of our first choices as the weather cools and we usher in Autumn and Winter. We prepare this dish for gatherings with family and friends, special occasions, and to enjoy this meal together as a family. Last weekend, we had family in town for the first time in a long time. The weather was crisp, leaves on the ground, and as my husband and I sat down to plan our meals, this was my first idea.
Stuffing seems to be synonymous with the holiday season. Over the years since we’ve become the hosts for holiday dinners with family, my husband and I have worked on a healthy vegan and gluten-free stuffing recipe. One that is not only vegan and gluten-free, but also oil-free. We’ve finally found one that we’re happy with, and there are many variations and ways to change it up for various occasions.
October is here. Leaves are changing their hues to bright orange, red, and yellow. It’s a time that encourages coziness in the home, introspection as we move through the change of seasons, and a wonderful time to be out in nature. The temperatures are cooler, making walks and hikes incredibly lovely as we move through the vibrant forest.

If you accumulate too much Vata, you’re likely to feel nervous, spacy, or overstimulated. To keep your Vata in balance, start your day with a grounding breakfast routine to feel rooted, warm, and nourished.
