It's football season!

What are you going to eat if you're plant-based?

🏈 Chips, guac, salsa
🏈 bean burgers
🏈 cauliflower wings
🏈 mushroom sliders
🏈 bean chili

There's a ton to choose from!

Being from Alabama, we care only about SEC college football. And in Alabama, you have two choices: Alabama or Auburn. That's it.

Now my daddy played football at the University of Alabama, so there really wasn't a choice. We're Crimson & White, Roll Tide all the way. 🏈🐘

Every year, my extended family gets together for the Iron Bowl and
It's. A. Party!

Because we live in Virginia, I don't get to go every year but when I do, I bring queso dip, cauliflower wings and black bean tacos. Yum!!!

💚 Nobody makes fun of me.
💚 Nobody gives me a hard time (well maybe my brother).
💚 And nobody says no to cauliflower wings and chili 😂

So, plant it up and have a blast!

1000 Island Dressing in 5 or something like Chik-fi-La sauce in 4 min 45 seconds! 🌻 Super easy. 🌻 Super yummy. I eyeball the ingredients and adjust based on taste. For Chik-fi-La sauce, leave out the relish. For a nut-free version, use great northern beans. . . . . #vegan #plantbased #dressing #plantbaseddressing #1000Island #saladdressing #simplerecipe #

Tofu Reuben! I love sandwiches. My daddy loved reubens. He died at age 58, nearly 19 years ago. He was always supportive of my plant-based eating and even tried my very first, very awful tofu lasagna. I was definitely a daddy's girl so in his honor, I tried to find a new style of reuben. One a bit healthier and plant-based. Tofu is so versatile. This sammie was so yummy and scratches the itch. 🫛 Marinate in a spiced up Worcestershire sauce 🫛 Bake in oven or air fryer to desired crispness 🫛 Key is sauerkraut and plant-based 1000 island dressing Comment RECIPE if you'd like me to DM it to you. P. S Did you know the World Health Organization actually considers deli meat a carcinogen because of the way it's processed (causes colorectal cancer)? Yuck. I'll take tofu. . . . . #vegan #plantbased #plantlife #veggies #tofu #plantbasedsandwich #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedfoods

Savory Oats!! I panicked this morning when I realized I didn't have fresh mushrooms. But Hubs to the rescue. He made us buy dried mushrooms at the Asian market months ago. I rolled my eyes like a good wife. But he was right. And I was thrilled to find a pack of tree ear mushrooms for this recipe. @jane_esselstyn_rn and her mom, Ann, created this amazing oats recipe. And I've been eating it for years. It is so yummy and warm and perfect for a crisp fall morning! I never thought savory oats could be any good. But I have found I love them now more than sweet ones. 🍂 Protein! 🍂 Fiber! 🍂 Potassium! 🍂 Vitamins A & B! 🍂 Iron! It hit the spot after my run this morning. Check out their book "Plant-based Warrior Woman" cookbook! . . . . #plantbased #vegan #southernliving #oatmeal #veggies #mushrooms

We attended our first Wellness Weekend with @brendaworkmanspeaks in the Canaan Valley, West Virginia, and had a blast! Great sessions with Pharmacist Amy Jasperse, RN Kylie Buckner from @greenglowlifestylepodcast and @masteringdiabetes, @theexamroompodcast Host @chuckcarrollwlc, Microgreener Hunter of @Huntersgreens and Yoga Instructor Eileen Moore. Dessert of chocolate chip cookie dough by @plantyou was amazing! @canaanresort #plantbased #wellnessweekend #EatMorePlants #FoodIsMedicine #wfpb #wholefoodplantbased

Pumpkin spice donuts in less than 20 minutes! Because they're made with pumpkin puree, these pack some nutrients: 🍂 Fiber 🍂 Beta carotene 🍂 Vitamins A, C and E 🍂 Iron 🍂 Potassium 🍂 And yes, there's protein in the pumpkin. The oat flour makes them a bit bouncy in texture rather than fluffy. They got really good reviews from office mates! Comment PUMPKIN and I'm happy to DM the recipe. #plantbased #plantbasedfood #plantbaseddessert #pumpkin #pumpkinspiceseason #pumpkinspicedonut

Veggie Gumbo! Yes, you can make gumbo with just veggies. It is super easy and fantastic for fall. 🍲 Roux with flour and veggie broth (or for more fat, cashew cream or unflavored soy milk) 🍲 Smoked salt, liquid smoke or smoked paprika for a solid smoky flavor 🍲 Old Bay, Zatarain's, Tony Cachere all work or make your own 🍲 Okra is key! I love slow cooking this all day so the flavors meld together nicely. For a faster version on the stove, saute the veggies first until soft, then simmer all ingredients in a good stock pot for 20 minutes. Lots of great nutrients: 🫑Vitamins C & A 🫑Protein 🫑Fiber 🫑Iron 🫑Magnesium Comment GUMBO and I'm happy to DM the recipe. Hubs loved it! And for those who don't know, he's a super picky eater and chef, like actual chef, so I'm thrilled when he likes it. 😅 . . . . . #vegan #plantbased #plantlife #veggies #plantbasedgumbo #okra #cajun
