Nutty Thai Lettuce Wraps

Talk about easy and delicious! These crunchy lettuce wraps are fun to eat and pair great with sticky rice and some hot miso soup. Thanks, Cookie and Kate!

Suggestions:
 
*If pecans aren't on sale, then you can also use cooked wheat-berries for the filling. I like to do half and half.

*I always double the recipe because they are so good!

*Use rice vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. It's more authentic.

*Use soy sauce instead of tamari. It's pretty much the same thing. (Who has tamari lying around?)

*To make prep easier, throw all your veggies in the food processor.

Thai Pumpkin and Coconut Cauliflower Soups

Here's a throw back to my favorite plant-based soups. I've made them a lot this winter. 

The pumpkin has been especially great for colds, with all the fresh ginger and spices. (It's definitely worth getting fresh ginger instead of the powder!) I like to cut down on the brown sugar and blend until it's smooth. Enjoy!
