Quinoa (uncooked) 2 1/2 c. Almond milk (or other milk of choice) 2 tsp Cinnamon 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Pinch of Salt Optional Toppings: Apples, bananas, chia seeds, almonds, walnuts, coconut flakes, maple syrup, peanut butter, additional spices RECIPE PREPARATION Rinse and drain the quinoa. Place it in a small saucepan and add the almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a high simmer, cover and reduce heat to a low simmer for 15 minutes. (Tip: don't walk away, if it starts bubbling, turn the heat off, give it one stir mid-cook if you need to, and resume). After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let the quinoa sit for 5 more minutes or until the almond milk is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked. Taste and add additional spices to your liking. Scoop 1/5th of the quinoa into bowl and top with toasted almonds, toasted coconut, and fruit. Serve with maple syrup if you like. Enjoy as a fluffy pilaf, or as more a porridge with warm almond milk poured on top. Store quinoa in fridge for 4-5 days, reheating for breakfast each morning. Change up the toppings for different daily flavors!

Roasted Buddha Bowl Recipe by a couple cooks INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (2 medium) 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 1 head Cauliflower Fresh ground pepper 1 to 1 ½ cups black rice or quinoa, uncooked 15-ounce can chickpeas (1 1/2 cups cooked) 1 beet ¼ head red cabbage (we used a combination of savoy and red) Salad greens 1/3 cup sunflower seeds or pepitas Best Lemon Tahini Sauce (to serve) 1/3 cup tahini 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (2 small or 1 1/2 large lemons) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons water RECIPE PREPARATION Preheat oven to 450°F. Dice the sweet potatoes; place them in a bowl and mix with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the sweet potatoes onto half of the sheet. Cut the cauliflower into florets; place them in the same bowl and mix with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Pour the cauliflower onto the other half of the baking sheet. Top the vegetables with fresh ground pepper and roast until tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the rice or quinoa according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse the chickpeas; mix them with a drizzle of olive oil and a few pinches kosher salt. Peel and thinly slice the beet. Thinly slice the red cabbage. Make the Lemon Tahini Sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until a creamy dressing forms; you may need to add a bit more depending on the consistency of your tahini. Store leftovers for up to 1 month. To make the vegan Buddha bowl: place the salad greens in a bowl. Arrange small piles of each component. Drizzle with the Lemon Tahini Sauce and top with sunflower seeds or peptias. Snickers Stuffed Dates recipe by cook at home mom INGREDIENTS Snickers Stuffed Dates 2 cups pitted noor dates about 24 1/8 cup peanut or almond butter 1/2 tsp flakey sea salt Chocolate Drizzle 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp cocoa powder 1 tsp maple syrup RECIPE PREPARATION Stuff the Dates Find the opening in each date, and use a small spoon to fill with about 1 tsp. your nut butter of choice, then gently close the date around the nut butter. Repeat until all of your dates are filled. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. Make the Chocolate Drizzle When the dates are chilling, gently melt the coconut oil in the microwave or stovetop. Whisk in the cocoa powder and maple syrup until completed mixed. Allow it to cool slightly. If it hardens too much, just warm it again and stir. Top with Chocolate and Sea Salt Place the dates on a cooling rack so the extra chocolate drizzle is able to drip off. Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over each date, one at a time. Sprinkle a tiny bit of salt on top before it hardens, then move on to the next date. Allow the chocolate to harden, then store in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to enjoy them!.
