Tomatoes are one of my favorite summer produce picks. I swear they taste sweeter and juicier during the warmer summer months! My dad eats them like apples. I haven’t tried that yet but I do try to work them into many of our meals.

When I was at Sam’s Club last week shopping with my mom, I saw the most beautiful fresh beefsteak tomatoes and just had to buy them! They were so ripe, juicy, and the perfect shape for making healthy stuffed tomatoes!

Stuffed tomatoes are very similar to stuffed peppers (which we love), except I think stuffed tomatoes have a sweeter flavor and a more delicate consistency that we really enjoy. You might also enjoy this zesty taco stuffed tomato recipe too!

The tomatoes are the perfect vessel for this dish, and roasting makes them super sweet and tender. I like to cook them just until the skin just starts to blister. They taste delicious and it’s a beautiful presentation. Italian stuffed tomatoes are a very simple dish to prepare and they’re loaded with healthy ingredients that the whole family will love. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

You are going to love these delicious curried lentils because this recipe is simple to make, it only requires 10 easy-to-find plant-based ingredients, and it’s very inexpensive!

Curried lentils and rice is a staple meal in our house, I make it at least 1-2 months because it’s just so darn easy and tasty! It makes a big batch so we have leftovers for a few days (or I freeze half for another night!), that’s always a plus to me. My mama always taught me, “to cook once and eat twice.” That mantra has saved me a lot of time in the kitchen over the years.

Happy 2019, friends!

I still can’t believe how fast 2018 went! Did you make any resolutions or intentions (like we did) for 2019?

Our 2019 Intentions:

Stick to a daily schedule (We tend to get distracted easily)
Exercise for at least 30 minutes 3X a week
Worry less about things that I can’t control (Super hard for me)
Go to bed earlier (So we will wake up earlier and stick to intention #1)
Be more positive
Try more things that scare us (this is mostly for me, Travis is pretty fearless)

I’m so thrilled to see how many people have pledged to try Veganuary this year as one of their New Year resolutions! I read that they had the most people sign up EVER– that’s such a huge and wonderful step!

I’ve also heard some of my vegan friends say that they’re going to give a keto lifestyle a try to help them lose weight. Personally, Travis and I don’t follow a vegan keto diet, we just live a very simple and easy vegan lifestyle and eat whatever we want (within reason). However, I wanted to put together a list of vegan keto recipes to help anyone thinking about trying a keto diet this year.

Let’s talk about tofu.

It’s delicious when prepared the right way. It gets a bad rap (and deservedly so) when it’s served unseasoned, uncooked, and just blah. Unfortunately, bad tofu is served a lot so people who haven’t even tasted tofu automatically think they won’t like it because of what they’ve heard about it.

Surprisingly, I used to be one of those people! At the time, I had never tried tofu but I just assumed that I wouldn’t like it because I’d heard so many people say they hated the consistency and that it was flavorless.

My first taste of a flavorful tofu dish was at Chipotle of all places. My husband and I don’t eat fast food, so going to Chipotle is our favorite easy dinner treat that we save for days when I have absolutely no time to cook. I used to always get a chicken burrito but when we switched to a plant-based lifestyle, I begrudgingly ordered a vegan sofritos bowl instead. After the first bite, I was seriously blown away by how flavorful the sofritos (spicy seasoned tofu) was and I happily inhaled the entire bowl!

From that day on, I wondered what other tofu dishes I was missing out on and started exploring and tasting all the different tofu varieties that I could find!

What I learned is that tofu is an amazing high-protein and nutrient-dense food that works so well in so many different recipes anddd it comes in many different forms. Tofu is cholesterol-free, gluten-free, low in calories, low-carb, it’s a complete protein, and it’s loaded with iron, calcium, and selenium.

I call this tofu scramble recipe mind-blowing because I remember the first time I ate a really good tofu scramble and my mind was literally blown. I couldn’t believe I was eating tofu that tasted really damn good and I also couldn’t wrap my mind around that fact that it actually tastes like scrambled eggs! I use to love scrambled eggs (this used to be my favorite breakfast bowl, now I make it with scrambled tofu instead of eggs!) and I never thought I could eat them again.
