    hi lovely people💗, I hope you had a great weekend and wish you a good week ahead! these recipes might seem a little complicated some more than others, but it is a true representation of what I managed to eat in a week or so by making double the amount at dinner and having the leftovers for breakfast or lunch. it's been working so well and these recipes are sooo delicious! everything is linked and explained here:
    MONDAY:
    Breakfast:
    - scramble 2 eggs while bread is toasting.
    - once eggs are done slice one garlic clove

    Sauce:

    Thinly slice scallion whites
    Dice 2 jalapenos (without seeds)
    One lime
    ¼ cup olive oil
    Salt

    TUESDAY:
    Breakfast: Carrot Cake Baked Oats
    minimalistbaker.com/carrot-ca...
    *I would add a little more maple syrup as it was as sweet as I wish it was
    Lunch: leftover brothy rice with chicken
    Dinner: Shakshuka
    cookieandkate.com/foolproof-s...
    *also added chickpeas, zucchini, and fresh oregano and used diced tomatoes instead
    WEDNESDAY:
    Breakfast: leftovers
    - Heat up leftover shakshuka with a little water
    - Create two holes in the sauce
    - Break an egg in each hole
    - Cover with lid and let eggs cook
    Lunch:Grilled Salad recipe credits: / co3gmrfh8vl
    @pierceabernathy
    1 head of radicchio
    Olive oil
    Salt
    1 leek, white and lighter green part only, halved and sliced thin (about 1 cup)
    1/2 mandarin, sliced
    1/2 D’Anjou pear, sliced thin
    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add blanch leeks for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to ice bath, drain, and set aside.
    For the radicchio, Remove 1/2” piece of stem and quarter. Coat each quarter in olive oil and season lightly with salt. Bring a large pan coated in olive oil to medium-high heat and sear all sides, around 5 minutes total.
    While searing make dressing:
    1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and grated
    1 lime, juiced
    1 tsp honey
    2 tsp soy sauce
    2 tbsp neutral oil
    - Add all of the ingredients into a small bowl and stir to fully incorporate.
    To plate, add the leeks, pear, and mandarin to a plate. Top with radicchio quarters. Spoon on dressing and serve immediately.
    *I used grapefruit because I didn’t have mandarins oranges and still was delicious
    Late night snack: Pumpkin Bread
    cookieandkate.com/healthy-pum...
    THURSDAY
    Lunch/Dinner: Dashi Noodles w/ squash and mushrooms | recipe credits / cvzr7dglex6
    @sophia_roe
    6-10 cups filtered water
    2-3 5-inch pieces kombu seaweed1/3 cup bonito flakes
    1 green onion stalk, finely minced
    4-5 tbsp coconut aminos (use 2-3 tbsp if using soy sauce) *taste and add more if not salty or flavorful enough for you
    1/2 1lb. kabocha squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 cup mushrooms choice (I used oyster and cremini)1 package soba noodles
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp onion powder
    1 tsp kosher salt
    In a large pot, combine kombu and cold water.
    Let sit until kombu softens, 25-35 minutes.
    - While waiting for kombu, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    Cut kabocha squash and then cot it and the mushrooms in oil and an even sprinkling of garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt.
    Back to the dashi:
    Uncover and heat up the kombu pot at medium heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
    - Make sure not to boil which ruins the delicate flavor of kombu.
    While dashi is simmering roast squash for 30-35 minutes, and mushrooms for 15-20 minutes.
    Take dashi off heat, take out the kombu seaweed and then immediately add bonito flakes and finely minced green onions, stir to submerge them.
    Return to a gentle simmer, skimming off any foam.
    Strain mixture and add the coconut aminos/soy sauce.
    Cook soba noodles according to package instructions.
    To plate, ladle dashi broth in a bowl, and add noodles, squash, mushrooms, and green onions as a garnish!

      Do you plan ("as the 1st climate positive grocery store") to avoid packaging each product individually in plastic? Or does unnecessary plastic packaging have nothing to do with it in your eyes?

    I love and appreciate how much effort you put into your meals - even the basic ones - you really do nourish your body and mind.
    Also I can so relate to the oatmeal thing! I need texture in my food and oatmeal does not deliver....
    Also try adding some yogurt on the side to have with the carrot cake baked oatmeal! 💛💛

    She have been a sister to me even though we doesn’t even know each other personally but she actually motivated me to learned how to cook all by myself. As we grown up, we end up learning things unexpectedly by ourselves. Sometimes we have been wanting to learn things but we’re afraid of the outcome. But remember to try some thing you have been wanting to or try something new. Because you never know what’s going to happen at all. Keep it up to all people who have been doing the same thing as me💗💗
    Keep being amazing and always take care 💗✨

    Omg the oatmeal section of this video is so relatable to me! I’m more into savory, crunchy, textured food so I always hated oatmeal because it didn’t taste like much and it’s mushy lol definitely going to try the carrot cake oatmeal 🤗

    hey alia! i missed uuu, the video is BOMB! i am not a huge fan of cooking but after your videos i wanna do that haha) my go-to autumn-ish recipies i would recommend to try must be zucchini fritters(grade zucchini, add an egg, some flour, salt and spices to taste and fry, nothing complicated hahah. and also i have been in love with varenyky during the cold time of the year. it is ukrainian national food, basically stuffed dumplings, i love them with potato&mushrooms, cabbage or sweet, with cherries or blueberries. here we usually buy them premade and frozen and all u need is just to boil them but actually u can make them from scratch, it is not that hard. aaand.. i am waiting for your new podcast episode soo much! love u❤️
