I went to have an initial thirty minute meeting w a local dog trainer yesterday and it turned into a three hour chat fest that ended in my baking my FIRST EVER loaf of bread as she was flabbergasted I never had and insisted we remedy that immediately. I'd never attempted it because it seemed like too many steps or out of my comfort zone make-it-up-as-you-go cooking style. But I was wrong! It wasn't hard at all. In fact, it was pretty simple. Of course the possibility for diversity and improvement are pretty much endless, but the point was that we often avoid things we think are hard- whether it be baking or talking to strangers and we miss out on a challenge that could be so exciting and rewarding. We bonded over our love of cooking and plan to bake pie together later this week. 😊People are funny that way. You give em a little love and focus and they bloom right open like a flower, their spirits rise like bread. Love on people today. It will fill your heart, and sometimes even your belly. ❤🍞 #tablerich #carlybrittainwrites

Bone Broth day. Get in my belly. ❤🙌🏽 I add one chicken carcass, 3-4 whole carrots, 2 halved onions (peel on!), a head of garlic halved, a small bunch of celery, and any other herbs in house. Here is parsley and cilantro. Also thumb sized pieces fresh ginger and turmeric, sliced open. Then a couple glugs of Raw Apple Cider vinegar (helps draw the gelatin from the bones). Then any spices you like. Here I added Allspice, star anise and cloves. Mine tastes like pho broth when I'm done! Salt and pepper. Bring to a hot bubble then turn down to low and let go all day. Then warm and sip in the morning for a happy tummy all day. Or add to any recipe for added flavor and nutrients. ✨✨ #tablerich

Fresh basil pesto 🌱. One pkg fresh basil (at TJs) 1/4 C Nut of choice* 1-3 clove garlic 1/4 C grated Parmesan 1/4C -1/2C extra virgin olive oil Combine in food processor or blender. Add about half the oil initially and gradually add more until a smooth consistency is reached while blades are going. Salt to taste or add more cheese👏🏼. *(I used pecans but pine nuts are traditional. Walnuts are good too. Or omit if allergic. Sauce will just be looser.) Whole shebang takes under ten minutes and is so yummy. I stirred mine into gluten-free rotini (also at TJs). Also great as a pizza base or topping for salmon or a burger. Makes about 1-1/2 C of sauce. #tablerich

@judithsims favorite cookies. Hope they last til Saturday. Super simple: 2 ripe bananas 1/4 cup oil. 1/2 cup nut butter (I use almond). 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups oats 1/3 c shred (not sweet) coconut. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp cinnamon. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional). Spoon onto light oiled sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 min. SO GOOD. No flour, no dairy, no (added) white sugar (excepting chocolate) Cool on rack if available.

This just happened. Melted an organic 73% cocoa bar from TJ's and poured half in the bottom of two cupcake papers (I left about three connected to make them stronger.) Then froze the chocolate bottoms 10 min while mixing about 2 heaping tbsp of natural peanut butter (could use any nut butter) w 1 heaping tbsp raw honey. Took out hardened bottoms, filled w PB mixture and topped w remaining melted chocolate. Froze again for 30 min. It was amazing, obviously. ;)

Made the most delicious thing ever which also happens to be a kale salad. No kidding. My bacon-burger-loving husband said he wants to eat it everyday. 😳✊🏼🎉 1/4 c Tahini 1/2 tbsp Braggs Aminos 1/2 tbsp Apple Cider Vin (raw!) dash Braggs Nutritional yeast (optional) dash Furikake (sesame and seaweed) (optional) dash Vindaloo curry blend or reg curry powder Fresh grated, about a thumb size piece: Tumeric Ginger 1 clove garlic (or more for cold prevention or feeling the sickies comin on!) Black pepper 1/2 Lime or lemon or orange (juice) Raw honey The tahini is the bulk of the dressing. The rest is just dashes. Make about a half cup total to one bag or head of kale. Too much dressing is overwhelming. Keep it light. If you make too much, keep some for later! Enjoy. 😘 #tablerich #foodismedicine #sodanggood

Made the same yogurt and spice smothered Tandoori Style chicken and potatoes I made the other day on #tablerich but served it over greens with store bought mango salsa, fresh bell peppers and black beans and piles of cilantro. Was so spicy and refreshing. Would be amazing w avocado. This dish is so dang delicious and easy. #summermeals #fresh #delicious

Watermelon Lime Mint Cooler! Filled the blender w watermelon, added the juice of two limes and several sprigs of fresh mint. Blended smooth and then put through a fine mesh sieve. Serve over ice and try not to smile. 😄🍉☀️ #tablerich #summerdrinks #juicing #fresh #plantpower

Made a makeshift sort of Tandoori Chicken based on a Ruth Reichl recipe I read and then returned the book so I'm going from memory...So easy and delicious. 4-6 chicken thighs, skin removed. Mix together 1 C full fat organic yogurt (Greek style preferred), 1/4 C fresh mint, 1/4 C fresh cilantro, I tbsp Vindaloo Spice or Curry blend, 1/2 tbsp Pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon and nutmeg separately), dried or fresh tumeric and ginger if desired, a good amount salt and some black pepper. The spice level is up to you. I like strong flavor so I went for it but tapered the heat for the kids and added more to ours later w hot sauce. Coat chicken heavily in mixture. Line a baking pan w foil or cook on a rack at 500 for 25-30 min til charred a bit. (May set off smoke alarm. 😂) with the bit of left over marinade I pan friend potatoes and tossed them in the yogurt sauce w a generous bit of butter and covered so they steamed as well. Served w sautéed greens (these are Kohlrabi w garlic.) ENJOY the flavor party! #tablerich #easysummermeals

💛Sunshine Smoothie☀️: one bag frozen mango pieces, one can coconut milk (full fat), splash of non-dairy milk (I used almond) and splash of oj. Juice of one lime. Blend. Add more of any ingredient if desired. I added another whole lime to my serving AND that Chili Lime Seasoning from Tjs. It was SO GOOD. Better than a mixed drink. No joke. And left me feeling SO energized. This ones for you @ohheyclinards !! Ask and you shall receive. 😆 #smoothie #mango #vegan #plantpower #traderjoes #tablerich

Made the yummiest sauce the other night, I had to share. Sautéed garlic and an onion til translucent then added a can of tomatoes w basil to the pan. Once incorporated I took off the heat and blended til smooth in a blender. Then returned it to the pot or skillet, stirred in one container of ricotta and one jar @traderjoesfood Quinoa Pesto. Stir to combine. Then added one head of roasted cauliflower (chopped to florets and seasoned with salt and oil and roasted at 325 til starting to brown on the edges) to the blender w a bit of the sauce and blended smooth. Stir ALL together and voilà- you have a delicious pink sauce chalk full of sneaky healthy stuff. Mwahahaha and this recipe makes enough for a small army to have multiple meals. 👍🏼🍅🌿 DISCLAIMER/ You could totally use jarred marinara- I was just out! Also could use any premade pesto, but the addition of quinoa knocks it outta the park with plant protein and tons of minerals and fiber. 🌱💪🏼#tablerich #cleaneats #kidsloveit

Another mama mentioned tahini dressing and I've been craving it ever since. Got some and used about a teaspoon with some fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar and evoo. Salt and pepper to taste and squeezed the rind from my segmented grapefruit as well. Was so refreshing on this icy day that had my throat a bit sore. I feel better already! #foodismedicine #tablerich

This is the ONLY way my kids will eat kale (unless I blend it in red sauce or smoothies). Kale Chips! No way you say? Well, hey, it's like $2 and 20 minutes of your time. Just TRY It and be amazed. 😜👍🏼I used Dino kale but Curly Kale is yummy too. I dehydrate mine at 225 F for about 10-20 min instead of roasting. Mainly because I burn them every time if I try to roast. I tear up the leaves, remove the tough spines and toss them in oil and salt and whatever else you want! I've used taco seasoning, Braggs Nutritional Yeast (tastes like cheese no kidding!) and garlic powder and furikake (a sesame seed, seaweed and sea salt blend). Anything goes! Then just check at the 10 min mark sort of moving them around w a spatula. If not yet crispy set timer for another 5 and check every 5 until they are done. 💪🏼🌱 #tablerich #foodismedicine #vegan #kidsloveit
