It’s been a while since I’ve made a recipe with tofu and I needed to fix that ASAP! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had a serious craving for buffalo tofu 😋 and some sweet potatoes 🍠😂. So here’s the deets on this weeks meal prep 👇🏻. ••• 1 bunch of kale 1 block of tofu 1 yellow squash, chopped 2 cups cherry tomatoes 1 large sweet potatoes, sliced and roasted 1 cup farro 1/4 c pistachios ••••• Maple vinaigrette: 2 tbsp maple syrup + 1/4 c olive oil + 2 tbsp hot honey @mikeshothoney + salt, pepper + 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar ••••• Tofu instructions: press the tofu for 1 hour (or what you have time for!), slice into 5 slices and then cut each slice into 8 cubes. Coat each cube with cornstarch/garlic powder mixture and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes at 425 F rotating the tray half way through. Place hot tofu in a sauté pan with a little oil and then toss in 1/4 c buffalo sauce @franksredhot and cook until coated (about 3-5 minutes). •••• Assembly: I massaged the kale in a little olive oil and salt and set aside. Roasted the sweet potatoes (salt, pepper, garlic powder for 30 minutes @ 375 and allowed to cool), chopped all the veggies and added to the kale bowl. Tossed in the cooled farro and poured dressing on top and mixed until combined! Topped with that yummy buffalo tofu and pistachios for a salty crunch! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Seriously try this tofu...you might actually like it 🙃.

What you need to add to your breakfast rotation this week 👆🏻: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pumpkin pie smoothie bowl: 1/4 c pumpkin purée 1 frozen banana 1 date 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 tbsp flax seed + chia seeds 1/2 c almond milk 1 tbsp sunflower butter @betsysbest Cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice 3 ice cubes •••BLEND, BLEND 🌀••• Toppings: maple sea salt granola @bobsredmill , unsweetened coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, chocolate @lovelilbucks , drizzle of honey 🍯. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This tastes like pumpkin pie, but a little healthier for you and will keep you full all morning long! Don’t have time for a bowl? No problem—blend and pour in a travel cup and bring your favorite toppings in a ziplock baggie ☺️. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have the best week!

Shopping today got a little out of hand 😳😂. Pumpkin everything and I don’t hate it! 🎃🍂. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s been your favorite fall @traderjoes find?!

When it’s supposed to be 90 degrees at the time you’re running tonight 😩 are you figgin’ kidding me?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even though it’s not feeling like fall in Ohio...yet...I decided to make something fall for lunch this week! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fig, honey-crisp apple and kale grain bowl 🍂 —> recipe inspo @howsweeteats ••••• Ingredients: 1 bunch of kale 1 large honey crisp apple 1 cup farro 1/3 c chopped pecans 1/2 c feta cheese crumbles 1 package @quornusa chick’n 1 cup fresh figs, sliced ••maple dressing•• 1/4 c apple cider vinegar 1/2 c olive oil 2 tbsp maple syrup Salt and pepper 1/2 tsp garlic powder Pinch of red pepper flakes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I prepped the kale by roughly chopping and then massaging in a little olive oil and salt. Then I added all the ingredients and the cooked farro to a large bowl. Lastly, I poured the dressing over and tossed until combined! I love the sweet, salty and crunchiness of this salad! It keeps well, too 😏

Chickpeas on the menu again 🙃! Just love the ease and versatility of this plant-based protein 🌱. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having an extra day off this weekend was amazing and I have a short work week with my sister’s bachelorette party this weekend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Quick, easy and delicious was what I was looking for this week and thanks to @hummusapien her curried chickpea salad recipe checked off all my boxes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I served this over some arugula and sprinkled nutritional yeast on right before eating! My favorite way to get some B12 in my diet 🤗. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope everyone has a great (a short) week!

After a fun weekend at home I needed something quick to meal prep for the week! I also wanted lots of veggies added to the meal prep mix 🤗. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Gimme all the greens 🥬🥒🙌🏻 with this weeks meal prep! —>kale salad with crispy chickpeas and cashew dressing 😋😋. Ingredients: Close to 2 bunches of kale 1 English cucumber, sliced in half 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 2 cans chickpeas, drained and patted dry 1/2 c pistachios 1 cup cooked farro •cashew cheezey dressing• 1/3 c cashew butter 3 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp nutritional yeast @bobsredmill 4 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 c water 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar **for the dressing add everything to a food processor and blend until smooth. Season with a little salt until you get the taste you’re looking for! I removed the kale leaves from the stem and roughly chopped before adding to a big bowl. I then massaged 1/2 the dressing before adding the other ingredients. I roasted the chickpeas at 375 F for 45 minutes and seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Can’t get enough of the crispiness! If you’re short on time; you don’t need to cook the chickpeas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Easy lunch prep or weeknight dinner! Plus the dressing is oh so good and I’m def going to use it later this week 😁. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start!

A day late, but #lunchprep this week 🙌🏻. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I followed @makingthymeforhealth summer kale salad, but made a couple tweaks 😂. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sweet summertime kale salad: 1 bunch of kale, chopped 2 peaches, diced 1 cup sweet corn 1 cup farro, cooked 1 pint cherry tomatoes l, halved ••creamy tahini dressing•• 3 tbsp tahini 3 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp dried basil 3 tbsp water Salt & pepper to taste ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Directions: place the kale in a large bowl and massage the dressing until the kale begins to soften. Then add the remaining ingredients and toss! I’ve been adding some @quornusa chik’n for some protein 👊🏻. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Such an easy meal prep and lasts well for the entire week! What’s everyone prepping this week?!

Pedaling into the weekend 🚲🚲🙃. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you haven’t had a chance to try out the red bikes in Cincy....DO IT! Such a fun way to explore the city and get yummy bites and drinks along the way 🍺🥨. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Instead of the bike this weekend I’ll be grabbing my shoes and running around Cincy 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ with my running friends at @berunproject and then eating all the food! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s everyone up to this weekend? Hope its a fun one! ☀️
