So a few years ago I got the cookbook, Indian-ish. Ever since I’ve been in love with Priya Krishna’s Saag Feta. It’s so comforting, nourishing, and nutritious. I always go for it when I feel like I need a boost of energy. Spinach has some kind of energy-boosting properties that make me better understand Popeye. Saag Feta is a classic riff of the traditional Saag Paneer. You can make this with other mild cheeses such as Mozarella, Oaxaca, Queso Fresco, or tofu.

Earlier today I saw a tweet that said: “soups months is coming” and I couldn’t agree more. It’s finally cold in Houston, 54F/12C and sunny. So I decided to make a vegan roasted tomato and carrot soup that would mirror the sun. With grilled cheese of course.
