Plant-Based Chickpea Eggs
Makes 3 servings

1 (15.5-oz/439-g) can no-salt-added chickpeas
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
3/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 cup (125g) frozen organic corn, thawed & patted dry
1/4 cup (10g) microgreens of choice or small fresh basil leaves

Directions
1️⃣ Drain chickpeas, reserving 1/4 cup (59ml) of liquid from the can.
2️⃣ To a medium bowl, add drained chickpeas and 1/4 cup (59ml) chickpea liquid, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder & black pepper. Smash & stir w/a fork until mixture is evenly combined & slightly lumpy. Set aside.
3️⃣ Heat 1 Tbsp of the olive oil in a large cast iron or other stick-resistant skillet over med-hi heat. Add corn & sauté until it begins to brown & pop, ~4 minutes. Add remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil & smashed chickpea mixture & sauté until mixture is “scrambled” & lightly browned, ~4 to 5 minutes.
4️⃣ Garnish w/microgreens & serve. (Hint: Delicious paired w/my plant-based portabella bacon strips!) 😋

I started making this vibrant sesame carrot salad

I started making this vibrant sesame carrot salad when I had leftover carrot scraps 🥕 from prep of my vegan carrot hot dogs. 🌭 When I made it for others, they often told me it deserved a starring role, not just something to be served as an afterthought. 💫 I totally agree! So, here’s the official (yummy!) recipe. 😋 And don’t worry, you don’t need to make the vegan carrot hot dogs first … unless, of course, you want to!

🥗 Recipe link in bio – or check it out below!

sesame carrot salad
Makes 2 servings, about 1 1/4 cups each

1/4 tsp natural sriracha or several drops hot sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 tsp sea salt and/or naturally-brewed soy sauce, to taste
1 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
2 Tbsp loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

1️⃣ Using a vegetable peeler, shred carrots into long, thin, fettuccine-like strips/ribbons.

Got some spare stuffing after your Thanksgiving fe

Got some spare stuffing after your Thanksgiving feast? 🍽️ I do, I do! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Here’s one of my fave things to do w/the planned-overs … Stuffing-Stuffed Chard Leaves! 🥬 (Loosely inspired by stuffed grapes leaves!)

Wanna make ‘em?! 😋
For every 1 cup of leftover stuffing:
1️⃣ Briefly blanch 3 large chard leaves (w/thick stems removed) in boiling H20 for ~15 seconds. (No need to plunge in ice H2O.)
2️⃣ Stuff each leaf w/ 1/3 cup cool or room temp leftover stuffing & roll each up like a stuffed grape leaf or burrito.
3️⃣ Brush wextra-virgin olive oil & sprinkle w/a pinch of sea salt.
4️⃣ Roast in 350F oven until fully heated, ~13-15 min.
5️⃣ Garnish w/pomegranate arils or cranberry sauce extras. 💕 Mmmm!!!
