Sunday Brunch Round-up | April 4-10th

Here is this week’s feast for your senses.

READ

I’m going to be talking about this article on my Instagram in the coming week, but I’ll share it with you first. The fight to provide everyone with clean water is closely linked to how we dispose of our waste and the country’s sewage system. Activists in New York City have been fighting to address the city’s sewage problem, which spills out into the surrounding waterways every time it rains. Read more about it here: NYC has a plan to clean its sewage-filled waterways. Does it go far enough?.
- “Every time it rains in New York, millions of gallons of sewage-laced stormwater flows into the city’s waterways. Instead of being diverted to a wastewater treatment plant, what goes down your toilet ends up floating along rivers, canals, beaches, and waterfront parks. All told, more than 20 billion gallons of feces-polluted water is flushed out onto the city’s coastline every year.”

LISTEN

Elevation Worship released a new song and I’ve been playing it on repeat. I love how accessible Jesus is and how this song is a reminder of that accessibility. Give, “Talking to Jesus” a listen.
- “There’s no wrong way to do it
  There’s no bad time to start
  It don't have to sound pretty
  Just tell him what’s on your heart
  Cause it’s not a religion
  It’s more like a friendship
  Just talk to your Father
  Like you are his kid”
Missing nature during the day, as the days are finally started to get warmer? Why not tune into Tree FM from your desk? Brought to us by Ecosia, the eco-friendly search engine, you can listen to the sound of random forests from around the world.

TASTE

This recipe I’m about to share, you have to promise to make this week, okay? Promise. Because it will be one of the best things you have ever eaten and it’s so simple to make. I’m always looking for new recipes, especially if they’re plant-based, and I came across Nasim’s Peanut Miso Chickpea Salad and decided to make it since I had most of the ingredients already on hand. Let me first say that I’m not a huge sandwich person, but I love chickpeas. I had leftover challah bread from last week’s French toast so I decided to give the peanut miso chickpea salad a shot and I’m SO glad that I did. Let me know if you love it as much as I do.

in joy,
