Tacos are one of my favorite ways to showcase seas

Tacos are one of my favorite ways to showcase seasonal veggies! All summer I’ve been using zucchini and corn, but it was nice to switch to roasting sweet potatoes now that some cooler air is settling in. If you’re looking for a great way to transition to more plant-based meals, look no further than these delicious sweet potato and black bean tacos! Instead of traditional salsa, I made a vegan coconut lime crema that I drizzled over top (look for the recipe in my stories). Here’s how easy it is to make these:

•2 cups peeled cubed sweet potatoes
•corn or flour tacos
•favorite Spanish style rice
•15 oz can black beans (rinsed and drained)
•optional add ons: avocado, guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, cilantro
Preheat oven to 425 F and roast the sweet potatoes about 20-30 min until soft and golden brown. Warm the tacos on a nonstick pan until they begin to puff. Assemble the rice, black beans and roasted sweet potatoes in the taco and add favorite salsa or the coconut lime crema over top. Enjoy! 💃😎👌🌮

There’s nothing like picking up some fresh basil

There’s nothing like picking up some fresh basil on a Sunday morning at the farmers market! I’m sure you can smell the freshness just by looking at it. Just a handful of fresh basil can take a dish up an entire notch, not just in flavor but in nutritional value as well. Herbs contain a ton of antioxidants and we should be using them whenever we can! I used a bunch of this fragrant basil in a delicious pasta recipe I’ll be sharing on the blog very soon! 😋

Hey guys! My first attempt at stop motion video!🥴 Definitely one of the benefits of having teenagers in the house is to help with technology! 🤣Today we made delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats! We’re exploring quick healthy options for back to school breakfasts. Oats are a super healthy way to get in some whole grains for energy, combined with peanut butter for protein and healthy fats to help keep kids fuller for longer periods (when snacking might not be an option). Chocolate cacao powder is full of healthy antioxidants, so it’s a win overall!
For the recipe:
-1/2 cup rolled oats
-1 tbsp cacao powder
-1 tbsp maple syrup
-1 tbsp peanut butter
-2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
Stir ingredients together then chill in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Serve with cacao nibs, granola, or sliced banana, shredded coconut or enjoy just as is!
