Alas, after almost 10 years, the art of food photography still evades me 😭😭😭. Anyway, I bet I had 35 DM’s from y’all asking for the vegetarian lasagna recipe from the other night so HERE YOU GO!🥫🧀 Make this early in the week, it’s great for leftovers and it’s even good cold! I like my cheese pretty crispy but I admit I think I gave it 7-10 minutes too many🔥, I’ll share below. 🥰👩🏻‍🍳 • Ingredients: - 10 gluten free lasagna noodles, cooked to package (from @thrivemarket) - 1 lb organic Cremona mushrooms, chopped - 1 lb spinach, chopped - 1 jar organic marinara - 1.5 cups raw, organic, grass-fed cheddar - 1 container cashew ricotta (@wholefoods) - 2 onions, chopped - 3 cloves garlic • Preheat the oven to 425. Cook the noodles according to the package and let cool. Sauté onions, shrooms and spinach together until shrooms have released moisture (adding salt helps), the onions are clear and the spinach is cooked through. Let that cool for about 15 mins. Mix the ricotta with the sautéed veggies, add salt and pepper and some herbs if you want. In a 9x12 baking dish, add a thin layer of marinara. Do a swipe of marinara on the noodle, add about 2tbsp of the veggie mixture and roll them up! Repeat, cover with marinara and cheddar. Bake for 25 and check it! Cheese should be bubbly and browned but not dead lol. I cooked mine for 35, oops. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Seriously easy, way delish and pretty darn nutritious for a big casserole! 🥘🌱🤤 • • • #likeavixen #vixeneats #vegetarianrecipes #lasagnarolls #cleaneats #sugarsnappeas #casseroles #805eats #homechef #cookingclasses #foodstagram #healthyrecipes #cheeseplease #soulfood (at Santa Barbara, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rU7pkh2AM/?igshid=1jrd2gm1ciaec

I can’t stop making/eating soup and it’s literally gonna be 77 degrees on Monday 😑. This is my roasted butternut squash with bacon and polenta croutons 🥘. For a second I thought I totally ruined the base, ‘twas burnt to a crisp but it ended up being totally delish. Fun fact- carrots have enough sugar in them to burn so adjust your knobs Vixens! Bacon sourced locally from Creston Valley Fine Meats. • Get it: 8 carrots-rough chopped, 1 butternut squash-chopped and roasted, 1 large white onion-chopped, 4 stalked celery-chopped, splash of white wine, 6 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 thumb ginger-grated, fresh oregano- minced, 1 can coconut milk, 1 quart veggie stalk, 1 roll Polenta- cubed, 5 slices bacon-cooked and rough chopped. • Do it: Heat some EVOO in a cast iron skillet and brown the polenta for about 20 minutes on medium heat. Heat some EVOO in a large stock pot- add the onion, celery and carrot cook down for about 20 minutes. Add the wine, garlic, ginger, coconut milk, veggie stock and oregano and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and let simmer for 40 minutes. Use a hand blender and blend until smooth. Serve with fresh oregano, bacon (if you want) and polenta croutons! • • • #likeavixen #vixeneats #butternutsquash #veggierecipes #cheapcleaneats #fallsoup #souprecipe #soupandsalad #husbandapproved #805eats (at Santa Barbara, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BozUE91nCoP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=exr58iirrsfl

Can I share how I get down with fried rice real quick?? YAY! OKAY!👌🍚💁🏻‍♀️ - First, I always make sure my rice is organic and either jasmine or basmati. Sprouted brown basmati from @lotusfoods is amazing! - I cook 2 cups of rice on prep day (and I do this about once a month so we’re not eating piles of higher glycemic carbs). We’ll eat some maybe with a veggie stir fry or Jeremy’s favorite- rice and gravy and then I store the rest for later in the week (older rice is best for fried rice). - What I made last night (pictured) is loaded with veggies and I stir fried some chicken beforehand. - Get weird with veggies in fried rice!! Corn, broccoli, cauli, peas, carrots, cabbage, zucchini, shrooms, bok choy, sugar snap peas, green onion etc. Fried rice is AMAZING for cleaning out the fridge and it’s one of my favorite dishes for packing in the veggies. - ALWAYS cook your eggs separately and add them at the end. The key is to have nice fluffy eggs, to me they really make the dish. - I’ve found the best way to make FR is to cook in phases and mix everything together at the end. First I brown my chix breast in a super hot wok and add coconut aminos after the liquid cooks off and set aside. Then I cook up 6 eggs and scramble them to perfection (google @anthonybourdain’s scrambles eggs). Then sauté onions with any veggies that take longer cook like carrots/broccoli/cauli. Then add the rest of the veggies to sauté and set aside. Reheat the pan and add some coconut oil and the rice and KEEP THE PAN MOVING. Then put it all together, add green onions and fresh peas and let it get happy for about 5 minutes. - Make sure to season your FR really well. I love TJ’s “everything but the bagel” seasoning, a little sesame oil and lots of coconut aminos. - Duh, Sriracha and enjoy! It’s great for to-go brekkies and lunches too! • • • #likeavixen #friedrice #ilovetocook #vixeneats #sriracha #eatmoreveggies #instarecipes #friedricewithegg #homecook #laguiole (at Santa Barbara, California)

On the menu tonight ~POZOLE~ I learned this recipe from my Auntie @kristinehinkle when we were at the lake in the mountains. It was just my Mom, my Auntie and I and we played skip-bo, hiked to the rocks, cooked amazing meals together (like this one) at the cabin. Such fun memories and cooking this tonight took me RIGHT BACK THERE. I can’t share the specifics but google “Easy Pozole Verde” and you’ll be headed in the right direction! The cabin is also where Mom and I came up with the Goal Setting and Feng Shui concept! Grateful AF. 🙌🍲🍽📿 • • • #vixeneats #likeavixen #pozole #nostalgia😍 #nutrishanddelish #happytummy #soupislife #pozoleverde #bonebroth (at Santa Barbara, California)
