Italian Stuffed Tomatoes/Ultimate Bruschetta!


Ingredients: 
6 large tomatoes
1 can white beans (I use cannelloni)
1 package spinach 
1/2 of an 8 oz jar of pesto
1 can artichoke hearts

Optional: 
shredded mozzarella cheese 
french bread

Directions: 
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Sauté the spinach in water in a large pan, adding one handful at a time.  
2. Slice of tops of tomatoes and scoop out the insides (I save the guts for homemade tomato soup). 
3. Add rinsed beans, artichoke hearts, pesto, and sautéed spinach in a large bowl. Mix well. 
4. Scoop the bean filling into the tomatoes and place them on a tin-foiled cookie sheet. 
5. Bake for 30 minutes (If desired, add shredded cheese for the last 2 minutes and broil). 

Enjoy alone or cut in pieces to serve on toasted french bread for ultimate bruschetta. Delizioso!

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!
