Hello nutrition focused friends.

I wanted to take time to post an update since I've been absent from this platform for far too long. I let life discourage me from what I love but I want to spend the next few weeks getting back into the nutritional swing of things; especially as holiday time approaches.

I'd love your feedback, but I think I'm going to continue diving into plant based holiday themed meals as well as grab and go foods. It has been my ultimate frustration in life trying to grab a quick bite from a grocery store (or anywhere really) only to find a sad peanut butter and jelly sandwich or an overpriced veggie sandwich as my options if I'm lucky. Seriously friends, have you seen the veggie sandwich offered at Whole Foods? It's $6.99 for a few thin slices of cucumber, tomato, lettuce and some sort of spread of on floppy wheat bread. Don't even get me started on their big salads. $16.99 for a big bowl of lettuce with a few sad toppings. In a world full of revolutionary plant based products, I feel like the grab and go crowd should have a few more options. Even Costco brings the disappointment as their grab and go prepped foods are almost entirely meat and dairy based. Sure, Costco had a quinoa salad for a while, but that's not a very exciting entree for a plant based person now is it? I will say, They do have a Mediterranean salad that's pretty decent though in size and price. Though I wish stores would figure out we can't live on salad alone. I would really love to see more ready to eat meals that aren't just over priced frozen entrees. Many of us spend all day running from responsibility to responsibility, it'd be nice to have some satisfying, nutritionally dense, options.

What frustrates you when trying to find grab and go foods for your busy plant based life? Are you dreading the holidays because your dietary choices aren't always respected or accommodated? Or maybe you just need some inspiration on what to make this year. Let's explore our options this season.

Today I made garlic soy marinated grilled eggplant and japchae.

I was excited to make the eggplant because I got to play with my new cast iron grill pan, which worked so well. The marinade was pretty simple: soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, gochugaru powder, pepper, spring onion, sesame seeds, and a little bit of sugar.

For my japchae, this was my first time ever using whole leaf spinach, definitely needed to wash the grit out.

I soaked some shitake mushrooms while I blanched the spinach. I also chopped a bunch of partially dried out button mushrooms, they're perfectly fine in this.

I like to use up what veggies I have in the fridge, which included some cabbage, onion, green pepper, and green onion. I also added a bit of vegan chick'n (although japchae is traditionally made with beef).

My japchae was not as pretty as traditional japchae, because I didn't have any carrots and I used green peppers, rather than red, because they were cheaper at the store🤷‍♀️ still tasted amazing. Japchae is make with sweet potato starch glass noodles. They have a super yummy chewy texture.
