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

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.

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 😉
