NO BOIL BUTTERNUT SQUASH BAKED MAC AND CHEESE 🧀 NO BOIL BUTTERNUT SQUASH BAKED MAC AND CHEESE 🧀 recipe ⬇️ 

Such a mouthful but had to include all the buzzwords for this truly iconic Mac and Cheese! It’s no boil which means you don’t have to do ANY annoying prep boiling the pasta and veggies. So few dishes to wash!

You literally blend the raw butternut squash and potatoes and pour it onto uncooked pasta then bake. The oven does all the work for you! So convenient and SO DELICIOUS. I meal prepped this batch and it held its moisture really well, so make a batch for yourself and enjoy throughout the week! Or of course save and bring a batch to your thanksgiving dinner 🦃 

Here’s how to make 1 batch which is about 8 servings:

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 butternut squash, peeled and chopped (530g)
1 russet potato, peeled and chopped (300g)
1/4 cup tahini
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2 tsp sea salt
2.5 cups filtered water
2 cups soy milk
1/2 lemon, juice from
16oz elbow pasta
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp butter
chopped rosemary (topping)

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and chop your butternut squash and potato.

2. Add the potato and butternut to a large high speed blender along with the tahini, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, milk, and water. You’ll be using a lot of liquid so make sure to use a big cup OR blend in 2 rounds. I used a vitamix 8 cup and it just barely fit. 

3. Blend until smooth. Grease a 9x13 or 9x14 baking dish and add in the uncooked pasta. Top with the sauce and squeeze in half the lemon. Stir and cover with foil. Bake for 40 minutes.

4. While the pasta is cooking prep the breadcrumbs. Add softened vegan butter to a dish along with the breadcrumbs and toss to combine. 

5. Once the 40 min are up, remove the mac and cheese from the oven and remove the foil. Add the breadcrumbs in an even layer. Switch the oven to broil.

6. Add the uncovered mac and cheese back into the oven and remove once the top browns. For me this took just under 1 minute, so don’t go far or it’ll burn.

7. Remove from the oven and top with chopped rosemary. Enjoy immediately or save in meal prep containers for about a week.

FIREBALL SHOTS 🔥 recipe ⬇️ Flu season is FIREBALL SHOTS 🔥 recipe ⬇️ 

Flu season is here, and if you want to avoid getting sick you’ll need to make sure your immune system is strong. These fireball shots are ULTRA strong and work to both prevent and shorten sickness.

I really can’t stress how strong they are, so don’t take them every single day. I like to take them the 3-4 days before and after travel & sporadically throughout the season. I recommend freezing leftovers right away to keep the nutrients in tact, but these shots will last about a week! If you’re making for 2 people you shouldn’t have leftovers.

RECIPE ⬇️ 

To a blender add:
3 pieces of ginger
3 pieces of turmeric
1 lemon
1 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
500ml coconut water (or filtered water)

Blend until fully combined then pour through a mesh colander or nut milk bag to separate the liquid from the pulp. Divide the liquid between shot glasses (the ones used are linked in my amazon storefront) and enjoy within a week. 

If you’re only making these for yourself, save leftovers in the freezer in ice cube molds.

Let’s make compost 🫒🪴🥬🥑🍊 I do a Let’s make compost 🫒🪴🥬🥑🍊

I do a LOT of cooking and produce a LOT of scraps. I’d been considering getting an outdoor compost but 1. It’s a lot of work and 2. It’s really gross and I can’t deal with the worms 🪱🤢 

I learned about @getlomi which is an indoor compost that turns your scraps into compost which I feed back into the earth via my vegetable & herb garden! If I were to throw in in the regular trash, it ends up rotting in a landfill 😔 

I’ve been using my Lomi for a few months now, here are my takeaways:

—It’s so easy to use
—No, it doesn’t smell AT ALL
—It works well and holds a lot of scraps, but they have to be cut pretty small
—It doesn’t need to be plugged in when not in use so I keep it hidden away out of sight. But it does look really cute on my counter!
—My garden has been doing so well after introducing homemade compost. I’ve noticed a difference in my eggplants specifically, they look and taste so good and have been growing like crazy. 
—The Lomi is expensive but worth it. I haven’t had any issues, it hasn’t made a dent in my power bill, and I don’t have to deal with traditional composting which is the biggest pain and so icky!

If you have any questions or want to learn more head to @getlomi ‘s IG or website, they’ve been super helpful in answering all of my q’s!

Blue Majik Bowl – Vegan & Low FODMAP

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
vegan blue majik bowl

Blue Majik Bowl.

Who doesn’t love colorful recipes?? Especially when the hues are derived from natural sources as opposed to artificially sourced? This Blue Majik Bowl gets it’s blue hues from blue majik powder (aka spirulina extract aka algae) and a combination of red cabbage and baking soda. This nutritious bowl includes miso glazed tofu and baked cherry tomatoes over an arugula base.

Blue Majik Bowl Rice & Kelp Noodles

The fun blue hues in this blue majik bowl elevate what otherwise would be considered a boring and basic bowl. I used a blue majik powder for the rice, and sliced red cabbage and baking soda to stain the kelp noodles blue. Here are some benefits and the exact steps you need to take:

  • Blue Majik Powder. Blue majik is a naturally bright blue spirulina extract which initially comes from algae. Because blue majik is an extract of spirulina, it’s not as much of a nutrient powerhouse, though it still contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Sadly, the blue majik in this recipe is really only for aesthetic purposes. One serving only calls for 1/4 tsp, plus we’re exposing the blue majik to heat which reduces it’s bioavailability. If you’re looking for real nutritional benefits, add at least 1 tsp to your smoothies, overnight oats, or salad dressings. Blue majik is pricy, but you’ll only need up to 1 tsp at a time so it’ll last you forever. Alternatively, spirulina has even more benefits, is on the cheaper side, and can give your foods a pretty green hue.

  • Red Cabbage and Baking Soda. To stain your kelp noodles (or any other type of noodle you want to use) boil water with a tbsp of baking soda and 1/4 cup of red cabbage shreds. The water eventually turns blue, at which point you will remove the cabbage, add in your noodles, then turn off the heat. After soaking for about 10-20 minutes, your noodles will magically be stained blue! Like the blue majik rice, these noodles are blue for aesthetic reasons – no health benefits unfortunately. Kelp noodles (made from seaweed) are incredibly nutritious though and contain VERY high levels of micronutrients. Foods that contain high levels of micronutrients will keep you satiated longer – even though kelp noodles only contain 8 calories per bag, it will keep you full for hours!

Miso Glazed Sesame Tofu

The miso glazed tofu here is very similar to my STICKY SESAME TOFU BITES – they’re sweet, flavorful, and so easy to prepare. I use Trader Joe’s high protein tofu due to it’s ultra high protein content (70g in one block!) but any tofu works as long as it’s super firm. To prepare this tofu, I airfried it in tamari and sesame oil before mixing it into the sticky miso mixture. If you use your oven often, I HIGHLY recommend investing in an air fryer. I use mine 3-4 times a week! Here are some great ones found on Amazon:

Baked Cherry Tomatoes & Basil

The baked cherry tomatoes are super hydrating in this bowl and are packed with flavor. All you need to do is toss them with olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and chopped basil. Then, bake them for 25 minutes. So easy!

The blue hues in this recipe are merely for aesthetic purposes, BUT that doesn’t take away from the many other micronutrients and protein present in this bowl. In addition to the delicious recipe what you can take away is there is no longer reason to purchase toxic artificial colors. Beautiful hues can naturally be achieved from plants!

Vegan Blue Majik Bowl

Colorful vegan and low FODMAP bowl with beautiful blue hues.

Ingredients

Bowl

  • 2 cups arugula
  • 2 persian cucumbers, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, crushed

Blue Rice

  • 1/2 cup jasmine rice
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1/4 tsp blue majik powder
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tbsp toasted (or raw) sesame oil

Blue Kelp Noodles

  • 1 cup kelp noodles
  • 1/4 cup sliced red cabbage
  • 1 lemon or lime, juice from
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Miso Glazed Tofu

  • 1 block super firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup tamari, soy sauce, or coconut aminos divided
  • 1 tbsp miso paste
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp brown or coconut sugar
  • sesame seeds topping

Baked Cherry Tomatoes

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped basil leaves
  • pinch sea salt & pepper

Instructions

Blue Rice

  • Wash jasmine rice and add to a pot with water and the blue majik powder. Mix in powder until dissolved and cook until water is absorbed. The rice will be stained blue.
  • Once the rice is done cooking, mix in toasted (or raw) sesame oil and the lime juice.

Blue Kelp Noodles

  • To note, the blue colors adds no nutritional benefit or added flavor – it's just for aesthetic purposes! First, drain and rinse your kelp noodles well. Use your hands to separate the noodles.
  • Add noodles to a large bowl of warm water. Add the tbsp of baking soda and immediately after add in the juice of a lemon or lime. Use your hands to massage the mixture then let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  • Add water to a pot and add in your red cabbage and the tsp of baking soda. Temperature should be medium-high. Let cook for about 8-10 minutes or so until the water has turned blue.
  • Turn off heat and remove the cabbage from the water. Add in your noodles and let sit until noodles have stained blue, about 20 minutes.
  • Drain your noodles and rinse. Be sure not to rinse too vigorously, the color holds on pretty well but can fade if washed too hard or hasn't soaked long enough.

Miso Glazed Tofu

  • Chop tofu into cubes or strips. Add to a mixing bowl with 2 tbsp of tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos) and a tbsp of sesame oil. Mix well then heat in your air fryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes flipping once halfway through. You can also do this in your oven, but it takes a bit longer.
  • On a pan, add the remaining ingredients aside from the sesame seeds. Cook on a low-medium heat. Stir frequently, mixture should be bubbling and thickening.
  • Once mixture is thick and sticky, remove from heat and mix in your tofu. Top with sesame seeds.

Baked Cherry Tomatoes

  • Add cherry tomatoes to a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange on a baking tray and bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.

Bowl

  • Add a bed of arugula to the base of your bowl. Neatly arrange your ingredients – peeled and diced cucumber, blue rice, blue kelp noodles, miso glazed tofu, and baked cherry tomatoes.
  • Use the back of a large knife to crush the peanuts (or serve whole) and sprinkle on top. Serve with a bit of soy sauce of a tahini dressing (tahini, lime, sea salt, and water)

I’ve been using my Lomi for a few months now, here are my takeaways:

—It’s so easy to use
—No, it doesn’t smell AT ALL
—It works well and holds a lot of scraps, but they have to be cut pretty small
—It doesn’t need to be plugged in when not in use so I keep it hidden away out of sight. But it does look really cute on my counter!
—My garden has been doing so well after introducing homemade compost. I’ve noticed a difference in my eggplants specifically, they look and taste so good and have been growing like crazy. 
—The Lomi is expensive but worth it. I haven’t had any issues, it hasn’t made a dent in my power bill, and I don’t have to deal with traditional composting which is the biggest pain and so icky!

If you have any questions or want to learn more head to @getlomi ‘s IG or website, they’ve been super helpful in answering all of my q’s!
