cauliflower, zucchini & pea dahl.






three things to remember

as long as you're dancing, you can 
break the rules.
sometimes breaking the rules is just 
extending the rules.

sometimes there are no rules.

  2. I also soak my beans and lentils overnight to make them easier to digest and get the gas out. Same with all my grains. My tummy is much happier that way.
