My husband will tell you, I can eat. I like many plants, a good sauce, and as many nutrients crammed in there as I can. And it has to taste delicious, like I’m-back-from-a-long-run-and-I-have-two-kids-to-entertain-all-day-now-and-I’m-not-sure-when-they-will-let-me-eat-again, delicious!!
Here’s an example of my favourite option to fulfill all of the above requirements this summer:
From the bottom up …
- a big bowl that feels good in your hands
- quinoa
- kale sautéed with coconut oil and salt and some dried mustard on top
- sautéed tofu or tempeh in the above pan or a bean/legume of your liking
- sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-ish inch rings, brushed with coconut oil, sprinkled with turmeric and pepper. If you want to get fancy, melt some coconut oil and then stir in some of this and brush it on: https://lairdsuperfood.com/collections/all-products/products/laird-superfood-turmeric-creamer-16oz-new-product
- roasted veggie of your liking, do it beside the sweet potatoes in the oven. I did cauliflower with the sauce in #7 brushed on it
- dressing (adapted from thefullhelping.com): 1/2c tahini, 1/2c water, 1/4c lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp paprika, salt to taste and I added 1 tbsp of maca (mucuma also works) for extra dusting love. Throw it all in the blender/food processor et voila!
- top with hemp seeds and sprouts
- let the good times roll
