I made this delicious bowl the other night. It is a Green Goddess Bowl with Farro & Pepita Lime Sauce by The First Mess. Delicious!

I had a couple of revelations while making it. First of all, 10 years ago I don’t know if I would have even tried to make it. While I have been vegetarian for 20 plus years, I didn’t always have the time or the desire to make everything from scratch. What I post has come together over time. I know more about what goes into the food that you buy at the store. I have experimented enough to see that making things from scratch isn’t as hard or daunting as it seems. It just requires a little more planning.

If you like what I post about but think you can’t do it, think again. Give yourself the space and grace to try new things. To succeed and possibly fail but to learn along the way. This is true with food but just as true with life. Don’t hold yourself back. Put yourself out there. Try new things and be open to what can happen!
