Pasta with Broccoli and Cauliflower Recipe – subtly flavored by sun dried tomatoes and providing lots of wholesome plant-based protein from white beans!

This is such an easy dinner recipe – I love how it’s filled with vegetables and a lot of flavor, but can be made super quickly.
I first started making this one years ago on a babysitting job for a super crunchy Earth mama family, and I’ve fallen in love ever since.
If you’re a fan of delicious vegan/vegetarian meals: This one is for you!

Love your new term for exercising! My husband watches me photograph sometimes and he says, your going to break your neck doing that! I totally agree! Climbing up on chairs, or rolling around on the floor for the shot! Food blogger issues! 😉

Seriously! I’m actually amazed I haven’t hurt myself so far! With all the rolling around on the floor at least it’s always clean 😉
