This week's meal plan! ๐ŸŽ‰

Hello again!

I hope this email finds you well, and that you're staying healthy wherever you are. My kids seem to keep bringing home various illnesses from school, so nothing is consistent or feeling "normal" over here lately.

However, I have managed to share a couple more recipes this week. I hope you'll try them soon and let me know what you think.

Your star reviews and comments on my website really make my day when I'm stuck at home with sick kids. I appreciate it!



Have you ever tried cooking quinoa for breakfast? This Quinoa Breakfast Porridge has been my go-to this week, since you can make it ahead of time, then add milk to it like cereal for an easy morning.

Feel free to add any extra toppings you love!



*New Cooking Videos

If you enjoy watching me cook in my kitchen, be sure to watch my latest video below.

How to Make Almond Milk. I walk you through TWO different ways to make almond milk in this video (one is a no-strain method) plus, an easy recipe for using up the leftover almond pulp.

*New Recipes

If you haven't visited my website this week, here's what you might have missed.

Quinoa Porridge. Quinoa Porridge is a delicious alternative to oatmeal, with extra protein to help keep you satisfied.  Made with creamy coconut milk and a touch of maple syrup, it cooks in just 15 minutes, and can be made ahead of time for a fast morning.
 
Hazelnut Butter. Have you ever tied homemade Hazelnut Butter? All you need is one simple ingredient (hazelnuts!) and a little bit of patience.

Try using it in Granola Bars or a Vegan latte for an extra special treat this week!




*Dinner Ideas for the Week

Need some dinner inspiration? Here are some delicious ideas to help!

Sunday: Classic Chicken and Vegetable Soup. This Chicken Vegetable Soup is ultra-comforting and packed with healthy vegetables. The flavor reminds me of Chicken Noodle Soup, just without the white pasta! It's perfect for those following a Paleo or Whole30 plan, or for those looking for a low-carb meal idea.

Monday: Eggplant Lasagna. This recipe uses eggplant slices instead of noodles! This easy recipe is a delicious way to enjoy the cheesy lasagna flavor you love, while eating more veggies at the same time. You can hardly even tell that there's eggplant inside!

Tuesday: Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta. This Butternut Squash Pasta is the ultimate comfort food.  It's creamy and comforting, while being entirely dairy-free, and takes less than 30-minutes to get on the table for an easy meal.

Wednesday: Creamy Vegan Arugula Soup. Paired with potatoes, which provide a creamy texture without the need for dairy, and a splash of coconut milk for richness, this Creamy Vegan Arugula Soup is a delicious way to devour more veggies and keep yourself warm at the same time.


Thursday: Thai Salad with Peanut Dressing. This crunchy Thai Salad is the type of salad that makes you crave more veggies. It features crunchy cabbage and carrots, fresh cilantro, and a creamy peanut dressing that will make you want to lick the bowl clean!

Friday: Air Fryer Baked Potatoes. One of my favorite things about an air fryer is how it makes perfect Baked Potatoes. The skin is nice and crispy on the outside while the insides are perfectly fluffy and tender. This recipe shows you how to choose the right cooking time to get delicious results every time. Serve with your favorite toppings and a side salad topped with Vegan Ranch!

Saturday: Day off from cooking! (Leftovers or take-out)



*Breakfast Ideas

Quinoa Porridge. Quinoa Porridge is a delicious alternative to oatmeal, with extra protein to help keep you satisfied. Made with creamy coconut milk and a touch of maple syrup, it cooks in just 15 minutes, and can be made ahead of time for a fast morning.
 
Oat Flour Pancakes. Oat Flour Pancakes are naturally gluten-free and turn out just as fluffy as the traditional version! You can make them in just minutes for an easy weekend brunch.
 
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal. Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal is a convenient breakfast recipe that comes together in just 1 bowl, with about 10 minutes of prep work. It's perfect for serving a crowd and is also an easy make-ahead breakfast option.
 
Favorite Green Smoothie. Green smoothies are an easy way to eat more fruits and vegetables. I love how you can't taste the spinach at all, so its great for beginners. I like to enjoy it as a meal replacement for breakfast, or as a snack during the day!
 
Sweet Potato Hash. This Sweet Potato Hash is an easy one-pan recipe, made with hearty sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onions.  It makes a flavorful breakfast or brunch option, and I love how the method is hands-off so you can do something else around your kitchen as it cooks. 




Want every meal planned for you?

I've got you covered with the 5-Day Fall Reset and the 5-Day Winter Reset. These digital guides include shopping lists and meal prep guides to tell you EXACTLY what to do every day, and includes seasonal recipes that are designed to eliminate food waste.

They will help you shop for and prepare only what you'll eat in a week! These recipes aren't on my website, so it's a great way to get more seasonal inspiration, too.



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!
