Vincent Van Gogh

Considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh was a post-impressionist artist whose work highly influenced 20th-century art.⁠ His work depicting figures, light, and landscape is notable for its beauty and emotion. Now, several of van Gogh’s paintings rank among the most expensive in the world. Ironically, he sold only one in his lifetime.

Vegan Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
with Spinach and White Beans

Ingredients
Baked Sweet Potato
4 sweet potatoes
Sweet Potato Toppings
2 tablespoons Carapelli Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for finishing the dish
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and excess water removed
14 ounces canned great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
Tahini Sauce
1/4 cup tahini
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Warm water

Instructions
Baked Sweet Potato
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times all over with a fork. Wrap each one tightly in a square of aluminum foil, then place on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes or until the sweet potatoes feel soft when gently squeezed. Remove from the oven, unwrap, and allow to cool enough to handle.
Toppings
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until a pale blonde color. Add the spinach and beans. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir until heated through.
Tahini Sauce
In a small bowl stir together tahini, garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add warm water a little bit at a time, stirring in completely, until the desired consistency is reached, and it becomes a pourable sauce.
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Cut a slit down the middle of the sweet potatoes and use a fork to fluff up the inside. Divide the spinach and bean mixture and sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the sweet potatoes, then drizzle with tahini sauce and additional extra virgin olive oil.

Did you know that stress is the no. 1-killer of our century?!
Stress leads to so many fatal diseases which are often irreversible.
I was very lucky...
I found the way out of that dark black hole by the little big help of good friends.
They showed me a way out but... fortunately I agreed to try and today I am grateful for that.
I came back to real life.
If you want to know how just ask.
