Hurry and go make this cake before your strawberries are gone, you won't be dissappointed. This is one of our favorite versions of strawberry shortcake. I grew up eating this cake, and of course decided to make it gluten free. I was a little worried to make it dairy free because the original recipe has a lot of milk and butter, which gives it a great taste. I made my substitutions and it came out great. The cake is light and has a great texture. You can use it however you like, but when we add our strawberries and cream(some of us use cream, others use powdered sugar), I usually slice each piece in 1/2 so there is less cake and more berries! So the original cake is twice as thick as you are seeing. Hope you like it!

I know this doesn't look pretty, but it always makes me feel pretty inside. I'm sure you've had those weeks/days/months with way too many parties and events and you eat just like a pig, and not a healthy pig. You know when your body is just craving something healthy. When you have a moment like that, this is the meal for you! Or just when you need some feel good, immune boosting, detoxifying, quick, food. A friend sent me a few recipes and I took what I wanted from each one. I had never heard of kitchari before, but after looking into it, it really is a comfort and healing food. This has really become one of our staples. Don't let the long list scare you, it really is a quick meal to throw together. If you are missing an ingredient, just leave it out. Hope you like it!

Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer. Add in garlic, onions, and carrots. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add in spinach and cook for another 5 min. Add remaining ingredients and cook another 5 minutes, adding more liquid if necessary(it is more like stew than soup). Serve warm and enjoy. When I serve this with my teff muffins, I am really feeling healthy & ethnic! Feel free to add the veggies or spices you like. Like all my recipes this is just a framework to take off from.
