We all have resolutions of things we want to accomplish, finish, do better, or just to live better, in a more healthy way.

I combined it with creamy coconut milk, and curry, to make a warm, savory meal for a cool winter day. Nothing warms you up like a bowl of soup on a cool day, and curry is no exception. Combined with some steamed rice, this is a hearty meal, that is entirely plant based.

You can buy dairy free dressings in the store, but often times they are made with cheap inflammatory oils, sugar, and fillers, such as gellan gum. I decided to combine a few of my favorite cool summer flavors together, like cucumber and dill.
