• Living La Vida Lagom

    img_8903

    Inhale tacos, exhale the negativity. That my friends, is how you Taco Tuesday. Especially before the holidays. These Thai Tofu Tacos are loaded with crispy tofu, crunchy kale, rainbow carrot medallions, strips of red cabbage and bathed in a creamy Thai peanut sauce. That sauce may look familiar, for a reason. I’m embracing the Swedish concept of “Lagom”, which is the idea of “just enough” or finding balancing. For me, balance is cooking once…and finding a way to reinvent those same ingredients. So yesterday’s Thai Rainbow Quinoa Bowl becomes…tacos! Get all the dEATs on this recipe and the concept of lagom below to find your taco zen.

  • Delicata-licious

    I’m gaga for gourds, so it’s another delicata-licous day in the neighborhood. This week’s meal prep is a DELICATA KALE SALAD with TRI-COLOR QUINOA, ROASTED CHICKPEAS, POMEGRANATE SEEDS and GOAT CHEESE. I’m a huge fan of cook once, eat twice, so this week’s blog is a double header! Not only does delicata delight this salad, but it also makes for an easy Whole30-approved breakfast as DELICATA EGG SLIDERS. Find the dEATs on both, below!

  • Holy Cannoli Hack

    This Norwegian just made PUMPKIN CANNOLI that would make any Italian mother proud. And the real showstopper is the dairy-free pumpkin ricotta made from creamy cashews soaked overnight and blended with almond milk, maple syrup and a touch of vanilla and pumpkin puree. Top with some carob chips and you wouldn’t know there isn’t an ounce of Italian in me. Check out the dEATs for this cannoli hack that uses pre-made pie crust to speed up the process. 

  • Is it even football season without chili?

    I mean, really – is it even football season without chili? Negativo. No matter the temp, chili is the quintessential food of Monday Night Football. And we all know football is about the food, right? At least that’s how I roll. The best part? It’s uber customizable. My version is veggie forward with zucchini, summer squash and corn. The beans and ground turkey play second fiddle and can be swapped out to meet your dietary needs whether a veg head or not. I’ve perfected this version over multiple iterations, so hope you enjoy this quick and easy Veggified (Turkey Optional) Chili! Get the dEATs below.
