Cooking as Meditation
Cooking > Meditation. Especially when it’s a PEANUT SATAY that sets you up for a week of stress-less meals. Because when the point of meditation is to free the mind and live in the present….that’s cooking. At least in my book. So ya know what? No longer am I going to try to “practice” meditation when….maybe it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for other ways to find mindfulness, read on for a few thoughts…and a recipe for a ZOODLE PAD THAI that will keep your mind off meal prep all week long.

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.

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!

I’ve Falafel In Love
Sometimes, a balanced diet is food that you can hold in both hands. Like this falafel. Yes it’s fried and yes that’s why it’s oh so crispy ‘n good. Could you bake them? Sure. But should you? No. These are just as good on a pita as they are atop a bowl of greens. Get the dEATs below.
