Leftover Series: Collard Quinoa Seitan Wraps (V, GF)

Every week, on Thursday’s I started doing this LIVE Facebook video where I would take all of my leftovers from my fridge and re-create or create something new with it all together. It’s become a fun project and my Facebook friends seem to really be a fan of it. So, in honor of that I think I’ll make this a regular weekly thing as long as I’m at home….shoot who knows where I’ll be and may want to reinvent something!

So this week I had a lot of leftovers because we were crazed this week and only had a couple meals at home. Here’s a list of my leftovers (some of which were not used)

Collard Greens
Onion
Garlic Cloves
Spinach
Purple Cabbage
Carrots
Mushrooms

Super Easy Vegan Crockpot Chili

A delicious and VERY simple preparation for one of the most amazing vegan chili’s I’ve done so far! Beyond easy and really is a way to use up all of your remaining veggies for the week in a very large way! All you do is rinse, chop and dump! That simple! You do need a few basics in your kitchen but I’ll take you through how to prepare for that and what staple pieces I keep in my kitchen at all times.

I’ve included my Facebook LIVE video here as well to take you through in greater detail and included the full recipe in this post! I hope you enjoy! Please follow me on Facebook or Instagram for more LIVE recipes to come!

Loaded Veggie Lasagna (GF)

started making veggie lasagna probably 6 years ago when I really started eating plant based and incorporating all the veggies I could into my diet. From that initial lasagna to the current one I’ve gone through several variations and the best thing about it is you can play with it and try seasonal veggies and add noodles, keep them out, anything goes here.

Whether you’re making this for yourself or your kids you’ll find that tastes vary and depending on what veggies you like or what veggies your kids will eat, just keep mixing it up and trying new things.

Grilled Eggplant & Marinated Tofu

This was really something I was dreaming up in my head and to be honest I didn't think it would live up to its expectations. I mean, I like eggplant but it needs to be cooked really well with some major seasoning and/or marinade. It lacks flavor and is really just a giant fibrous vegetable. Thinking of vegetables, I really like to keep the variety in my palette. Since this is purple it really keeps it mixed up and allows for me to have a full range of benefits.

Gut Healthy Dal with Grain Free "Naan" bread

Ok, you guys I may have made one of the most amazing lentil recipes yet for me and my fam! We're on day 3 now and its a huge hit and SO filling! Usually my husband needs meat in addition to anything vegan I make but this time he's loving it as much as I do! I also paired it with some delicious grain free, naan bread! Ok, so my husband calls them pancakes but they are much more dense and I cut them into quarters and served them with the dal and my, oh my they are fantastic! I consider them a mix taste-wise between corn bread, a pancake, and bread. My husband just says they are pancakes but you be the judge! Either way, they add to the texture, and keep this recipe grain free, dairy free, gluten free, and all the other buzz words. AND they are natural meaning made with REAL FOOD!

Clean Green Protein Muffins

I love creating green muffins as they are a great breakfast or snack on the go packed with nutrients and protein! And I get my dose of greens all at once! On top of that, they taste incredible! Made all natural with only natural sweeteners! Bonus!

Super Charged Pomegranate Pistachio Smoothie Bowl

This particular bowl I added some potent super foods, plant protein and also managed to squeeze in some greens! Super easy! Just add to the blender, blend, top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie

Let’s talk about the gooiest cookie you ever did see or TASTE! If you want a delectable and healthy variation with whole foods and REAL ingredients then you may want to give these a try! Gluten Free - Paleo

Cherry Chocolate Overnight Oats

Who doesn't love chocolate? And with cherries?!? I mean, this has to be one of my favorite smoothie and now oat concoctions! I need to have something readily accessible for my husband and I to grab and go in the morning. We are both usually busy with our little one and out the door to work or I'm off teaching a fitness class! Life is just easier if we have something that's readily available to us to grab and head out of the door without having to grab something that isn't so healthy.

Spicy BBQ Jackfruit Tacos

Jackfruit is absolutely one of a kind tropical fruit recognized for its unique shape, and size. It is rich in energy, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins and free from saturated fats or cholesterol; fitting it into one of the healthy treats to relish! Here are just a few reasons why it should be part of your diet:

Loaded Beet Veggie Burgers

Now regardless of if you like beets or not, you absolutely need to try this recipe! I've made these burgers a couple of different times and typically just make a huge batch of 15 or so burgers and keep a few in the fridge for the week and freeze the rest. They are perfect for on-the-go where you don't have to think about a meal and you know its packed with veggies and nutrients.

Now, what I can say is these things are messy. Its a bit time consuming, especially if you make a double/triple batch like I do. However, know it will save you a lot of time throughout the week.

Vegan Lentil Pasta with Almond Tumeric Slaw

Some days I feel like more than others and today I just wanted something healthy and fast. I scurried through the cabinets and found I had this bag of lentil pasta. And when I say lentil pasta, I mean made from straight lentils. So, protein and nutrient rich and also, very dense! It is one of my favorites when I want a hearty and filling meal that's going to satisfy me for the entire evening. Well it does that and then some. Unlike traditional pasta, lentil pasta doesn't have the sugar and processed ingredients so you don't end up feeling hungry 2 hours later. So not only is it a great filler but it's easy to add in some veggies and whip up a meal that is macro nutrient dense.
