Vegan Spaghetti Squash With Spinach Basil Sauce
How wonderful it is that nature provided us with spaghetti squash, an unprocessed, gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free option to pasta. I’m in Portugal, where I love all the organic fresh produce I find at our local farmers’ market. I took advantage of the abundance of squash to make an easy and healthy meal. Vegan Spaghetti Squash With Spinach Basil Sauce is a delightful combination that delivers a delicious and nutritious dish.
Easy Cream of Tomato Soup
Indulging in the warmth of a comforting bowl of homemade Cream of Tomato Soup is so satisfying. Paired with a grilled cheese sandwich, this Italian-style delight transforms into an American culinary classic. The ease of preparation and its hearty and delicious nature make this version a go-to dish in my kitchen.
WELCOME TO A NOURISHED LIFE
I’m Eva, a cook, writer, and lifelong seeker of the good life, living along Portugal’s windswept coast. Here, I share mostly plant-based, often gluten-free recipes that nourish both body and spirit, along with reflections on healing, aging, and intentional living.
To me, a nourished life means living with presence and grace. It’s a quiet walk by the sea, a meaningful conversation, and the joy of both the salad and the slice of cake.
I’m so glad you’re here.

What we eat doesn’t just feed us, it informs our health, our energy, and even our mood. Rooted in both tradition and science, I believe food can be one of our most powerful tools for healing. While some dishes are pure joy and celebration, many are created with wellness and nourishment in mind, supporting a life of balance, vitality, and intention.
