Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Servings

4

Ingredients

Instructions

Place the semi sweet chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each. (This will allow the chocolate to melt slowly and temper, so as not to seize the chocolate. I usually do about 4 separate 30 second intervals until it is just melted)

Next, lay out a sheet of parchment (or wax paper!) on your countertop.

Holding the stems of each strawberry, dip the berry into the melted chocolate and turn to coat evenly *make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping or else the chocolate won’t stick*. Place the chocolate dipped strawberry onto the parchment paper to cool and harden.

If you’d like to add a drizzle white chocolate, melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl following the same instructions above. Once the chocolate is melted, use a spoon to drizzle lines of white chocolate back and forth over the chocolate dipped strawberries. Pair with a glass of prosecco!

(Almost) Vegan Vodka Pasta

Servings

3-4

Ingredients

Instructions

Soak the cashews in 1 cup of boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain, blend in a high speed blender or food processor, and set aside. 

Meanwhile, boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions and cook until done. 

While the pasta cooks, chop the onion and add to a saute pan with olive oil. Saute on medium high heat for about 5 minutes until lightly golden. Add the chopped garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes while stirring it around. Reduce the heat to low then add the vodka. Cook for about 8 minutes until the vodka has reduced. Add the canned tomatoes and simmer on low for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 

At this point, you can transfer the sauce to a blender with the cashews to create a finely smooth sauce, OR you can keep it rustic if you don’t want to deal with transfering it. 

Add the pureed cashews and tomato mix back into a large pan or pot and add the cooked pasta and cheeses into the pot. Stir to combine and add a pinch of red pepper flake. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper accordingly. Garnish with fresh basil if you have it and extra cheese. Serve with roasted broccoli or asparagus. Enjoy!

Ingredients

*Meal Prep Tip*
*Kid Friendly Tip*

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Cut the block of tempeh into 1-inch cubes and place it on the parchment paper. Toss with the soy sauce and siracha (option to omit the sriracha if you don’t like spice) and bake for 10 minutes until crispy.

In a medium-sized pot, add the cauliflower rice with a splash of liquid (water or chicken broth). Cover with a lid and cook on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until the cauliflower rice has thawed and the liquid has evaporated.

Drain and quarter the artichoke hearts. Add the spinach, quartered artichokes, and minced garlic to the pot with thawed cauliflower. Cook for a minute then add the pesto, parmesan, salt & pepper. Stir to combine and taste for seasoning! Garnish with sliced avocado and tempeh.

*If I have any leftovers in the fridge such as sweet potatoes, asparagus, roasted zucchini (literally anything) I like to add this to the cauliflower rice to use it up*

*I divide the cauliflower rice into 3 Tupperware and top evenly with the tempeh. This is perfect for lunch reheated!

Coconut Curry Veggie Stir Fry

Servings

Ingredients

For the Vegetable Curry
For the Rice

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat oil on high. Add all the chopped veggies and sweet potato and cook for about 10 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic, curry powder, and curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the coconut milk, broth, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender 20-30 minutes. Swirl in PB, salt, and pepper.  *I had leftover boiled broccoli that I added in at the end. This is a perfect dish to move any leftover veggies in your fridge. If you want to make the broccoli fresh you can add it to boiling water for 5-10 minutes until aldente.

Meanwhile, cook brown rice (or grain of choice). I like to measure 2.5-3 cups of broth for every 1 cup of brown rice and cook “low and slow” (on low heat until the liquid has just been absorbed) for about 45 minutes but keep an eye on it. Season with salt and pepper.

To serve, ladle the curry over rice. Enjoy!

*This dish is very versatile. Other add ons that would be delicious would be asparagus, snap peas, tofu, shrimp, or chicken.
