My favorite part of summer is cooking fresh health My favorite part of summer is cooking fresh healthy meals while it’s still light out ☀️ This is a pistachio tofu with a delicious zucchini rice summer salad 🥗 inspired by @soulsyncbody 

Recipe ⬇️ 
pistachio tofu ingredients—
2 slices of high protein/extra firm tofu (about 2/5 of 1 block)
1/4 cup pistachios
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp agave
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice

zucchini rice salad ingredients—
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup mint, finely chopped
1 zucchini, diced
salt & pepper
lemon squeeze
drizzle of olive oil

Instructions:
01 Start by slicing your tofu and scoring each side. Be careful not to accidentally cut it in half! Stir together the marinade and add to a shallow bowl. Let the tofu marinate while you prep the rest of the meal.

02 Cook your brown rice. Meanwhile, chop up your zucchini and toss with a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Air fry at 375 for about 10 min. While that’s baking chop up your mint and cherry tomatoes.

03 Once your tofu has marinated for at least 20 minutes, cover the top with chopped pistachios. If your pistachios aren’t salted, add a pinch of salt. Add to the air fryer and bake at 375 degrees for about 8-10 minutes. Keep your eye on them to make sure the pistachios don’t burn.

04 Add the zucchini rice salad ingredients together - brown rice, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mint, olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper - toss then divide between 2 plates. Serve with one of the tofu fillets.

Enjoy!

grandma core 💐🥕🥞🪴🐶 I’ve been em grandma core 💐🥕🥞🪴🐶 

I’ve been embracing slow living these days. Nancy meyers type of grandma hood, tending to the garden and crocheting🪴🧶 

Some things I’ve been prioritizing in grandma hood:

~daily morning pages. just writing down absolutely everything on my mind the first few minutes of the day to clear my mind.

~growing fresh produce. this has been such a fun one, I have 2 raised beds and a bunch of fruit trees in my yard and eating my own food I grew myself makes me slow down and appreciate it so much more!

~reading >> tv/tiktok. idk about you guys but social media has been rotting my a brain a lil bit. reading feels sooo much better mentally.

~mocktails >> cocktails. I rarely drink alcohol anymore and it’s done wonders for my mind and my skin. look for for mocktail content from me in the near future!

~chai and matcha >> coffee. coffee gives me jitters and anxiety, and that just does not align with grandma hood! I use chamberlain coffee’s chai and matcha, both are sooo so delicious and imo better than coffee.

Chickpea Dal – Under 30 Minutes to Prepare!

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Chickpea Dal is the perfect simple and cozy meal. It’s extremely easy to prepare (under 30 minutes) and is great for beginner vegans (it’s naturally vegan and gluten-free!) If you like Indian food, you will love this bowl.

Dal Seasoning

Dal is typically made with lentils, but as long as you have the right seasoning you can use chickpeas or mung beans. Essential seasonings in your dal dish include turmeric, cumin, ginger, and coriander. I used a chermoula seasoning which is made up of paprika, cumin, cayenne, parsley, aleppo pepper, cinnamon, and cilantro. Some delicious seasonings for this chickpea dal include:  

garam masala
$9Garam Masala
Tikka Masala

tandoori masala

chala masala
$9Chana Masala

Quick and Easy

If you don’t love to cook or just don’t have the time, this dish only takes 30 minutes start to finish. If you’re new to veganism or are looking to introduce more plant-based meals into your diet, this chickpea dal is a great option. Thanks to the chickpeas it’s extremely satiating making it one of my personal favorite meals for weight loss.

Chickpeas have tons of benefits including:

  • High in fiber
  • Heart healthy
  • Rich in calcium
  • Weight loss (fills you up quickly)

chickpea dal

I used light coconut milk which helped thicken up the mixture – if you want it extra thick and creamy go for a full fat coconut milk, but keep in mind the fat content is way higher. If you want an even thinner end result, try regular milk. I personally love the light coconut milk because it adds a bit of thickness but doesn’t feel too overwhelming.

If you don’t like chickpeas you can go the traditional route and make this recipe with lentils – it does take much longer to prepare and requires more liquid, but is equally delicious.
