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!

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.

Cilantro Lime Chick’n & Rice Bowl

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
cilantro lime chick'n and rice bowl

If you like Chipotle, you’ll LOVE this Cilantro Lime Chick’n and Rice Bowl. It’s filling, flavorful, rich, fresh, and a perfect quick lunch or dinner option. This bowl takes 20 minutes to prepare – triple or even quadruple it if you’re meal prepping.

Chipotle Chick’n and Rice Knockoff

This chick’n and rice bowl is just like a bowl you’d order at Chipotle, only it is free of processed ingredients and oils. I love Chipotle’s menu, but I don’t love Chipotle in terms of health. Luckily, this knockoff version can easily be made at home. Here’s what’s in the bowl:

  • Cilantro Lime Rice. Filling & ultra flavorful.
  • Seitan. High protein.
  • Shredded Romaine. Hydrating & cooling.
  • Avocado. Healthy fat.
  • Pinto Beans. High in protein & fiber.
  • Cherry Tomatoes. Hydrating & high in vitamin C.

Chipotle is also known for their cilantro lime rice which is incredibly easy to mimic. Chipotle uses a large amount of oil in their food which adds unnecessary fat and grease. I chose to cut oil out completely, I found it unnecessary because it really didn’t add anything flavor wise. And it’s 10x healthier without the oil!

Vegan Chick’n AKA Seitan

Seitan starts off as wheat flour and water, and is magically transformed into a just the wheat gluten after being rinsed in water. The rinsing of the dough isolates the gluten, which is the protein found in wheat. So seitan is high protein and low in everything else – if you don’t have any intolerance to wheat, you NEED seitan in your life!

Seitan is bland on it’s own, so adding flavor is essential. You can add regular seasonings like garlic powder or paprika, but I went with umami. It is SO flavorful and a must in any vegan kitchen.
