  personal note from darshana

Hey Everyone

The retreat was unbelievable! Better than I thought. Yoga, meditation, cooking classes, tea tasting classes and much more! AND MY FAVORITE PART- AN ORGANIC FARM with every vegetable you could imagine and an apple orchard. I swear I cried when I was looking at it. I included some pictures below.

This week ends Recipe Month. But don’t worry in each upcoming month you will receive at least 1-2 recipes.

I found the recipe below in a great cookbook: The Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson. I make it for quick dinners. Last year I made it for the 4 th of July potluck I attended, so I thought I would share it this year since the 4th is right around the corner.

Ciao for now,

  week 4 recipe of the month
