Hi, friends!
What a glorious, magnificent day to be alive! Fall is officially here, and there’s no better time to appreciate all the lessons and gifts received this year than the present.
Personally, I feel we have all worked through so much in recent months and deserve to nourish ourselves in pace with the coming winter. Who doesn’t love cuddling up with hot cocoa (oooh! Here’s a vegan recipe) and reading a book as snowflakes fall?
While spring is very much about cleansing and letting go (‘creating space’ for insights to enter), and summer is about enjoying life to the fullest, fall – in my opinion – is about embracing change and preparing for a productive and delightful winter. It’s a great time for reflection, setting intention, and forgiving ourselves as we go more ‘inside’ – both metaphorically and literally – and appreciate what we have.
So, in that spirit, I’d like for you to create and enjoy the following delicious nori rolls which are absolutely one of my favorite treats.
They’re one of the recipes being featured in my upcoming Ketogenic, Live-Food (Vegan) Recipe Book + Menu Plan, and I’m sure you’re going to adore them.
Savory, spicy, and filling, you can’t go wrong when opting to enjoy – and share – these Atlantis Nori Rolls. 🙂
