One Base, Two Deliciously Dairy-Free Soups
Zuppa Toscana for the Soul: how faux-talians solve all their problems. I may not be Italian, but I was a waitress at Olive Garden back in the day. And if there’s one thing I took away from that college gig, it was a dream – a dream to one day recreate the magic of Zuppa Toscana. Rejoice. Because that day arrived. And my version, is 100% dairy-free and delicious. Plus, the base is equally delicious as a seafood chowder. I like to call that a bonus round. If you’re equally giddy about the iconic Zuppa Toscana, read on to recreate this meal of endless soup, salad and breadsticks, any night of the week.

Whole30 Survival Guide: Final Frontier
Eat well, move daily, laugh often, sleep lots and love your body. Repeat for life.
Is it really that simple? Maybe. At least it feels a heckuva lot simpler on Day 21 of Whole30. Scientists are still arguing whether 21 days is truly the magic number for forming a good habit, but I’m starting to believe in the magic. Meal prep is the norm, I’ve got a roster of MVF’s (most valuable foods) to save the day and the sugar dragons seem to be hibernating for the winter. Sure, I’m still looking forward to tacos in Mexico in 2 weeks, but I’m also not agonizing over my every meal. Hopefully you’re feeling those good habit vibes, but if you’re still looking for some recipes to shake up the last nine days and tips to surviving social outings, you’ve come to the right place! Read on for the dEATs.

Living La Vida Lagom
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.

Life {and Food} in Technicolor
Sometimes all Monday needs is a splash of color. This Thai Rainbow Quinoa Bowl was just the spritz of color I needed to put an extra pep in my step for the last working Monday of the year! Let that sink in for a second. Last Monday in the office. Now go ahead and give into that mental “raise the roof”. You know you wanna. In this week’s meal prep, a bed of quinoa gets a burst of color from rainbow carrots, red cabbage, curly kale and spring peas, plus a snap of satay-inspired flavor with a creamy peanut sauce. Get the lowdown on why eating the rainbow matters and sashay to that recipe below.
