Simple Super Soup Supper
💚💚💚
yay for cooking again!
cold weather = soup weather!
here we have two recipes from Julie | The Simple Veganista] that I’ve tweaked a bit.
a cheezy broccoli potato leek soup & chickpea socca.
socca, you say? what is this sorcery?

possibly originating in Genoa, Italy, it’s a chickpea flatbread that is so super simple and fun to make. basically a batter of equal parts water and chickpea flour, you add spices to your heart’s content and bake at high temp in a skillet.
GF & V

~holistic health help~
haven’t posted for a minute but this needs to get out there.
how do you take care of yourself, beyond food & exercise? do you think about your mental health as much as you do your food? i feel like this area is sometimes glossed over, and it really needs to be front and center. do you have a “thing” that helps center and stabilize you? something that you do that completely absorbs your attention and everything else sort of melts away? this “thing” can take a while to to find, and it can change. if you don’t have a thing, or have no clue what I’m talking about or how to find yours, pls message me. i can & want to help!
for me, it’s a relatively new thing, and working in pottery has been a game changer. getting my hands dirty with clay, figuring out the different clay properties, the wheel, physics, balance, proportion, perspective, tools, steps, not to mention the millions of options with design & glazes - i am HOOKED.

these are my first attempt for a 🖤&🤍 “series” of tea mugs. cannot wait to fill them with antioxidant-rich green tea! they’re definitely beginner status, but I am in L😍VE with them.
hope your monday has been a funday!
