CassieSo.
This meal was so much fun to make!
I decided to blast some tunes and cook a hearty dinner after a long day of working, and coming home from work to work from home and study.
What come to be was an eggplant chickpea curry with a cauliflower carrot soup, both packed with seasoning, flavour, and sustenance.
I ate these alongside leftover Thanksgiving turkey cuz😍
