Double the batch, and eat them for snacks or as part of lunch the next day. Warm up on pan on stove top, or in toaster oven.
Try it in a pasta & Roasted Garlic!
I love to roast a ton of vegetables along side garlic. (I take a whole bulb of garlic and cut the top off. I drizzle avocado oil on top and let it dribble down sides of garlic bulb. I cover in tin foil and cook along side veg for about 25 minutes.)Once veg is roasted, add to a pan with coconut oil and the roasted garlic. Squeeze out each soft garlic bulb, or pull out with a fork and smash it with the back of a spoon or fork into the coconut oil. Add a few squirts of Bragg Soya sauce and salt! Mix it up & That’s it! Some might add pepper or feta cheese, but I love it simple. I can then throw this on pasta and add in the roasted vegetables. Its a whole new meal! Try it.
**These are excellent as a side to Thanksgiving!!!

Saving Time:
Pre-wash and dice before hand. When its time to cook, add oil and salt and pop in oven. They are great served hot, but are also delicious when cool. So its ok to let them sit for a bit if need be… just not fridge cold.

I am Love. And I welcome Love to flow through me and into this meal, to greatly nourish and bless all who eat it.
