| | Hello again!
I hope this email finds you well, and that you have some fun weekend plans to look forward to. We are getting ready to wrap up my son's school year, so I'm finishing up my "room mom" duties this weekend, and I am VERY much looking forward to being done with virtual school!
Maybe I should come up with a fun dessert recipe to celebrate next week?? We definitely need to end this school year with something special. Let me know if you have any ideas or requests.
In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy the new recipes on the website this week! Check them out below, along with a new week of meal ideas to help you plan ahead.
This Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie tastes like a Nutella milkshake, only it's made without dairy or refined sugar. You could probably sneak some veggies in here, like frozen cauliflower or a handful of spinach, for some extra nutrition, too.
Cooking Videos
If you enjoy watching me cook in my own kitchen check out my latest video, and follow along step-by-step.
Black Bean Brownies. You are going to love these rich and fudgy brownies! You can't taste the black beans inside at all, and they're gluten-free, oil-free, and vegan, for those with special dietary needs. I walk you through the process step by step in this video, so you'll know what to expect the batter to look like.
P.S. If you subscribe to my YouTube channel, you'll be notified as soon as I post my next one. I always post at least 1 new video per week!
Here's What You Missed
If you haven't visited my website this week, here's what's new:
Vegan Lasagna. This lasagna is the easiest version I could come up with, using as many short-cuts as possible. There's NOTHING to cook ahead of time, so you can assemble it quickly, without using meat or dairy. And it's soooo satisfying! My meat-eating dad has been loving all of the leftovers I send him from my testing rounds.
Vegan Parmesan Cheese. I use this sprinkle on everything and always keep a jar in my fridge! All you need is 3 simple ingredients to make it, and it lasts for at least a month when you keep it chilled. (Probably much longer if you keep it frozen instead!)
Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie. This recipe got a major makeover this year (I originally posted it in 2014!) and it tastes even better that before. I hope you'll love it!
Dinner Ideas for the Week
Need some dinner inspiration? Here are some delicious ideas to help!
*Get the Shopping List: You can also view this week's meal plan here, and create a shopping list for it with the press of a button. Any customization you make will save to the browser you're using, so be sure to use your phone if you want to take it with you to the grocery store, or use the convenient "print" button to save your work.
Sunday: Vegan Lasagna. Making this over the weekend means you might have leftovers for an easy lunch the next day! I've even eaten it cold from the fridge, because it's that delicious.
Monday: Cauliflower Steaks with Chimichurri Sauce. This combination is my all-time favorite. And then I want to add the chimichurri to everything else I eat for the rest of the week!
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos. I love how many veggies you can sneak into these easy tacos. My husband couldn't even tell after I told him what was inside! For a vegetarian taco, try my Jackfruit Tacos or Vegan Tacos. Use leftover chimichurri sauce on any of these tacos-- it will take them to the NEXT LEVEL.
Wednesday: Vegan Stew. This recipe tastes remarkably like the real thing, without using meat. I love how simple it is to prepare! Serve it with crusty bread or a side salad, for a complete meal.
Thursday: Favorite Beet Salad. I'm obsessed with these salad toppings. Add your favorite protein on top to make it extra-filling.
Friday: Mediterranean Socca Pizza. I could eat this type of pizza every week. You don't even need cheese on top, since the toppings are flavorful on their own.
Saturday: Day off from cooking! (Leftovers or take-out)
*If you try one of my recipes this week, could you please take a moment to leave a star-rating and review directly on my website? It's one of the most helpful things you can do! It let's me know which recipes you are enjoying, and it's the best place to ask questions if you have any. I read the comments there myself every day.
(It also lets Google know that other people like my recipes, and Google is what allows me to keep providing free recipes for you! We want to keep Google happy.)
Note: If you have any questions for me, the best place for me to respond is directly in the comments on my website. My email system is having issues with replies lately, so if you emailed me and didn't hear back, that's why! I read comments on my website everyday, so be sure to ask again there if I missed you.
Until next time, I hope you have a great week!
