My birthday always falls on or around Easter weekend, and in my family, I am responsible for the holiday meals. Throughout my posts, I have talked about the importance of simplifying and finding balance. That it is easy to get carried away on menus you designed from your Pinterest board that leave you spending hours upon hours in the kitchen, I have been there many times.
I remember buying my first vegan cookbook, in 2014 by Angela Liddon. I had been dabbling in vegan cooking for about a year before, but this was my first official cookbook (so much more have come since then). I recall flipping through the pages and feeling pretty comfortable with the DIY nut milk, homemade granola recipes, and green smoothies. Suddenly, I came across portobello mushrooms being used as meat substitutes in fajitas and burgers, which was a completely new concept to me at the time.
Sometimes the simplest ingredients can bring us the most comfort. When we want fries, this is my go-to recipe. It is quick, easy, and uses basic ingredients that enhance the nutrition of this perfect vegetable side dish. Blue or purple potatoes add color, phytonutrients, and interest to any plate.
The Meal Prep Mastery posts were created with the desire to showcase very simple recipes that can nourish your family during even the busiest work week. Roasted Veggies is a staple weeknight recipe. You can pull out whatever veggies you have in your pantry and fridge mix it all together with some key ingredients and you have a beautiful dish.
So you have come home from work and have like 30 minutes to feed everyone, get ready, and head out the door to be somewhere. Yes.. you could hit a drive through and everyone eats burgers in the car while you drive like a crazy person or…. you could give this recipe a try.
