The night before my birthday, my husband and I went to our friend Leisha and Nina's house for a wonderful family dinner. Even their dog Hero (pictured above) joined us. Leisha made Quinoa Couscous, Red Cabbage, Apple, Carrot and Ginger slaw as well as this amazing thick Beet Soup. Everything was so insanely yummy! Definitely Superhero fare. So I just wanted to give a big thank you to Leisha and Nina for having us over, and share with everyone just how easy it is to make some really delicious superhero recipes. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Made this recipe this evening for my whole Omnivore Family of 7 people. (Except my sister who is also vegan.) They all loved it though! Even my dad who is always wary of trying new things, especially my vegan recipes. But he said it was phenomenal. Thank you so much for posting this recipe! -
I made this tonight and it was amazing (delicious) and easy. I used sliced toasted almonds (bought in the baking aisle of the grocery store) instead of whole almonds, just liked the texture better, otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. My husband loved it too. Thank you!!!
