I’m writing this post in early May and although spring is here and the weather is turning warmer, I still find that soup is a super way to enjoy a whole food plant-based diet. In addition, I love that you can make this White Bean Soup with Garlic, Mushrooms, and Farro in the Instant Pot…

Eating Chai Spice Apple Muffins for breakfast is a given, but they are also yummy for a snack when the munchies hit or even for dessert.
