stuffed shells

i made cashew ricotta stuffed shells last night. it was yummy. and a spring minestrone soup and a salad too.
1 c. raw cashews soaked over night
1 package firm tofu (get out excess liquid)
salt
2 tsp. dried basil (i think fresh would be awesome)
3 roasted garlic cloves
2 tsp nutritional yeast
couple drops liquid smoke
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 tsp olive oil
frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
small onion chopped
shells
jar of tomato sauce

so drain cashews, put in food processor. add olive oil, salt and lemon juice. then i added basil garlic, yeast and liquid smoke oh and the tofu. then i tasted it. it tasted good so i added the onion and spinich. cooked the shells, put 1/2 the sauce down, stuffed the shells and topped them with the rest of the sauce. bake at 350 for 30 minutes. it was yummy!

byron katie

i've been doing a lot of work. . .
if you haven't heard of byron katie and her work it's really amazing.
at buddhist temple they talked a lot about suffering, attachement, delusions. . . etc. . .
i never REALLY got it until i started reading and doing her work. it's really been very helpful for me. all of the resources are available here. . . i've been doing one belief at a time work sheets and judge your neighbor work sheets. i got i need your love is that true? on cd and have listened to it over and over while i've been driving. it's amazing how we are attached to our thoughts/beliefs and how that causes suffering. how i've been delusional (still working on it!). . .

i want these

super cute! i want falcon enamelware!
found them here

thanks soule mama

Helpful practices:

See everything as an opportunity and remind yourself of this every day.

Be patient, listen, and wait for things to shift in their right timing.

Take some action every day that shows you are serious about doing something towards your intentions and goals.

Make a plan and be willing to adjust it frequently to meet the elastic nature of the times.

Talk to your body, pay attention to it, work with it and give it what it needs.

Do something every day that shows the spirit you are serious about your practical transformation and that you are willing to move forward and into opportunity instead of backing away. Take a risk, don’t look back.
