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.

Sweet Potato Avocado Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Sweet Potato Avocado Salad is incredibly easy to prepare, and is a wonderful choice for weekly healthy meal prep. It’s packed with healthy fats including avocado, vegan feta, pine nuts, and a tahini based dressing, and sweet potato, one of the best sources of carbs.

sweet potato avocado salad

Healthy Fats & Carbs

The best part of this salad are the use of delicious and familiar fats – avocado, pine nuts, tahini (aka sesame seeds), and vegan feta from Violife. Discovering new vegan cheeses has been a game changer – in the past five years the vegan alternative game has been growing and improving like crazy. I used to be a cheese lover, so finding healthy alternatives (that actually taste good and realistic) has been life changing. My favorite vegan cheese brands include:

  • Violife.
  • Miyokos Creamery.
  • Monty’s.
  • Treeline.
  • Parmela Creamery.
  • Vromages.
  • Sister River Foods.

The bulk of this salad is also sweet potato, one of the healthiest carbs there is! I baked it in avocado oil (a healthy fat) which is preferable to olive oil as heating olive oil kills the antioxidants leaving fewer health benefits. If heated too high, it can turn to trans fats – to be safe, I cook with avocado oil and use olive oil raw, such as in a salad dressing.
