Roots are vital to life aren’t they? The root is where the majority of the nutrients are absorbed.

Similarities in plant life work their way into soul life. For instance in Proverbs 12 we see it compared to evil.

Proverbs 12:12 The wicked desire what evil men have, but the root of the righteous produces fruit.

We see it also in 1 Timothy 6: 10

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.

Unlike the vegetable, that restores and heals, these roots are buried, deep in the soul, causing dissatisfaction and unrest.

If something is off balance in your soul look at the root cause, dig it up, bring it into the light.

In the same way getting to the root of a problem balances the soul, many root vegetables can center a plate. Try them for a richer, more satisfying meal.

The tomato substitute with beets and carrots combines the earthy goodness of red and orange root vegetables with garlic and onions.

It’s makes a sweet, thick, and delicious sauce that can be paired with any meat, pasta, or soup!

All you have to do is gather:

If nightshades really hurt your belly and cause acid reflux, this is the sauce for you!

  • 3 CARROTS
  • 1 SMALL BEET
  • 1/4 ONION
  • 1 CLOVE OF GARLIC




Place chopped vegetables in a saucepan and cover with 2 and 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer until vegetables are tender, approximately 20- 30min. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside to cool. Once cool puree into a sauce with a high powered blender. I like my Nutribullet.

Use for: Soups, Pasta
