Combining Health and Faith
I love food that makes me feel good about how I’m nourishing my family and also tastes great. I have two daughters ages 18 and 20 who love to cook and bake. My younger daughter is vegetarian, and she came up with this delicious pasta dish you will love! The ingredient I enjoyed most in this pasta recipe is the fresh beet. If you have an appreciation for veggies, this one is for you. I hope you and your family will try this one out! Add a fresh garden salad to this meal and you’re all set for a nutritious and tasty dinner.
The combination of good food and nutrition increases our faith life as we take in God's goodness with food that brings us health. Enjoy every bit of this healthy mix of pasta and veggies.
