It is not a stretch to say that while in acupuncture school Robin Roarke kept me healthy.  She brought me vegan food for nourishment, amazing homemade skin care products, and this soup - her beet borscht, with a kick!  Dr. Robin is a very talented acupuncturist in Englewood Florida, and true healer - she puts a bit of magic healing into everything she does.

    This blog brings you Vegan Dishes by Dr. Max, from the Taste Cart at the Saturday Morning Market in St. Pete featuring seasonal organic and abundant produce, grown by our very own local farmers, and recipes of What I Cooked This Week.  Enjoy your vegetables!
