Mayan Raw Cacao Chia Energy Balls Two years ago, I took a trip to Guatemala. It came at a time in my life when I felt lost. My heart had been broken, I was shaken to the core. Unsure of what I needed, I heeded the advice of my friend @chrissylovesyoga "You should come". She was leading a week-long yoga retreat in beautiful Lake Atitlan. I was nervous about a week of yoga and living with strangers. But I decided to go. It was in the act of going that I was able to start letting go. The retreat started with a Mayan Cacao Ceremony @villasumaya Our small yoga family gathered in a circle. Infused with warm cacao and chia seeds, we shared our intentions for the week and our thoughts on the journey. I created this recipe to honor that trip. I love how food can connect me to a time and place in a way that pictures often can't. The ingredients remind me of the rich history in Mayan culture: chia seeds, dates, almonds, cacao. The simple directions echo thesimplicity of nourishing. Let go of the extra, complicated thoughts.  Breathe in joy, exhale waste. Look for gratitude.  Savor life.

Gluten-Free Vegan Sweet Potato Mac and 'Geez!' What's your favorite #dairyfreecheese ? My new discovery? Roasted Sweet Potato Sweet potato has that golden yellow color we connect with creamy cheddar cheese sauce. Roasting it brings out a natural sweetness, adding another layer of flavor to balance the salty, savory notes of this dish. You get all of that rich, creamy texture thatyou'd get from nuts or dairy, but with a lot less fat. Another chef's trick?  Use the pasta water from cooking the noodles to create a richer, creamier sauce. And with @wholefoods chickpea noodles, you get 22g protein per serving, almost half your daily need.

What's on the menu for Mom? Why not a Chickpea Italian Frittata? Tons of fresh veggies and herbs... Make extras for snacking during the week For the Chickpea batter: 1 cup (100g) chickpea flour* 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon (8 g) nutritional yeast 1 ¼ cup (10 oz) water For the veggies: 1 small zucchini ½  red bell pepper ½  sweet onion 3 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon fresh thyme ¼ cup fresh basil, chiffonade HOW IT’S DONE: Preheat your oven to 350F To make the Frittata chickpea batter:  In a medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast.  Add 1 ¼ cup water and whisk well to combine.  Set aside while preparing the veggies. To oil-free saute the vegetables**: Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat.  Dice the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion.  Add the vegetables to the pre-heated pan and cook over medium heat.  Sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring a few times, until the onions begin to brown around the edges and the peppers are soft.  Mince the garlic and add to the pan.  Add the fresh thyme and fresh basil.  Cook 1-2 more minutes, just until the garlic softens. To make the Frittata:  Remove the sautéed vegetables from the pan.  Clean out the pan and wipe dry.  Return the pan to medium heat.  Pour the chickpea batter into the pan.  Let cook 2 minutes, until the bottom is set.  Add the sautéed vegetables and cook 2-3 more minutes, just until the bottom is golden brown.  Transfer the whole pan to the preheated oven.  Bake at 350F, 12-15 minutes, until it poofs slightly and is cooked all the way through.  You can use a paring knife to cut into the center – it shouldn’t be runny at all. Remove from the oven.  Transfer from the pan, slice into wedges.  Garnish with fresh basil and serve #vegan #veganrecipe #brunchfood #mothersday #frittata #eggfree #veganfrittata #italianfood #healthyeating #healthyrecipe #healthyfood #plantbaseddiet #plantbased #wfpb #oilfreevegan #oilfreerecipe #glutenfree #besan #chickpeaflour #vegetables #breakfast

Happy Birthday, Dad! His name "Bud" says it all... To the most incredible father...he won't see this because he's too busy reading or playing golf to be in IG. He's shown me so much about how to live in the moment, build meaningful, deep relationships with people, give generously, cherish family, and how to grow some incredible tomatoes. Love you, Dad! #birthday #dadsrule #numberonedad

Bulgur Stuffed Zucchini Boats You might know bulgur from Tabbouleh. The cracked wheat used that quick salad. It's crumbly texture makes it an easy #meatlessmonday standin for ground beef, turkey, or sausage. Combine with sauteed onions, garlic, and spices for planted stuffing in zucchini, bell peppers, cabbage rolls, and mushrooms. Ingredients 8 small zucchini 1/4 cup bulgur (cracked wheat) 1 small onion, diced 1/4 teaspoon red chili flake 1/2 teaspoon anise seed (aka fennel seed) 1 teaspoon dried thyme 3 cloves garlic, minced 3 Roma plum tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped 2 tablespoons capers ¼ teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper HOW IT’S DONE Preheat oven to 350 F To soak the Bulgur: Confer with boiling water and soak 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, fluff with a fork. To prepare the Zucchini Boats: Cut the top 1/4-inch off the zucchini, lengthwise. Save the zucchini tops for later in the recipe. Use a spoon to scrape out the insides of the zucchini boats into a bowl. Leave about 1/4-inch around the edge. Place in a 9×13 baking dish. To make the Bulgur Stuffing: In a medium sauté pan, cook the onion, red chili flake, anise seed, and dried thyme, 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, dice the reserved zucchini “tops” and the scraped out insides. Add the zucchini, stir, and cook another 3-5 minutes, until soft. Add the bulgur and soaking liquid and minced garlic. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook until the liquid evaporates, just 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat. Add remaining ingredients. Stuff zucchini with filling. Cover and bake 45-50 minutes.

My Favorite Mexican Dishes Mexican Cooking centers around simple ingredients. Think about the colors of the Mexican flag: red, white, and green. These are the same fresh colors you see in a quick pico de gallo: fresh tomato, diced onion, chopped cilantro and jalapeno. Staples in Mexican cooking are corn, rice, beans, peppers, and avocado. Honoring the traditional recipes using these ingredients, I've put together some of my favorite Mexican Dishes: Red Quinoa Enchiladas Rojas Easy Vegan Lentil Tacos Stewed Black Beans Oaxacan Baked Tostadas with Tomatillo Serrano Guacamole Vegan Tortilla Soup with Hominy Charred Mushroom Poblano Tacos “Tartas Pastores”: Mexican Shepherd’s Pies with Smoky Sweet Potato Crust Chipotle Black Bean Soup 5 Minute Guacamole: Essential Vegan Recipe 5 Minute Pico de Gallo Spicy-Sweet Raw Pineapple Salsa Moon and Stars Watermelon Calypso Bean Salad Quinoa Fiesta Bowl with Beans, Pico de Gallo, and Avocado Lime Dressing Spicy Mexican Chocolate Sauce with Pineapple Simple Broiled Bananas with Cinnamon and Cocoa Nibs Link below for recipes #mexicanfood #cincodemayo #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #cooking #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #wfpbno #tacos #tostadas #fatfree #dairyfree #oilfreevegan #recipes #howtocook #guacamole #tortillasoup #beans #corn #salsa #plantbaseddiet https://plants-rule.com/authentic-mexican-recipes-oil-free-plant-based-vegan-dishes/
