Sunshine and love filled my Great Aunt’s vibrant back yard on that warm sunny day back
Fruit Crisp Crumble {oil-free, vegan + gluten-free}
Seasonal fruit or frozen, this easy crisp is a go-to for a delicious breakfast or dessert after a veggie bean soup or other light meal. If you’re using a tart fruit like rhubarb, consider pairing it with a sweeter fruit like mango or even dates or other dried fruit. No need for oil – there is plenty of natural fat in the nut or seed butter.

Quinoa Tabouli “Full-Meal-Deal” Salad
Quinoa tabouli salad is light and lemony. Tabouli is a traditional salad from the Middle East, and is typically made with bulgur wheat. I use quinoa or fonio because they are naturally gluten-free. It keeps fresh when refrigerated for several days.
Super Green Guacamole

Russian Borscht Soup {slow-cooker option}
There are 2 special ingredients in this borscht that take it over the top. Two of my favorite ingredients, used as natural flavor enhancers! Can you guess what they are?
Leafy green beet tops are loaded with nutrients so if you have them, rinse well, chop or slice and add to the soup in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. They can replace some or all of the cabbage in this recipe.
