January continues to be a time to release the gluttony and embrace the power nutrients that make hearty root veggies, dark leafy greens, citrus and other winter seasonal delights so delicious. The Warm Lentils & Balsamic Beets are a clean side dish that pair perfectly with Nutty Quinoa and a refreshing Citrus, Avocado, & Fennel Salad.
Winter greens, whether spinach or something darker, are chopped and swirled in a nourishing bowl of broth and wild rice. Sprinkle on Parmesan Pine Nuts and serve with crusty French Bread to complete the dish.
More greens can make your morning a bit more nourishing and simple when they are tucked into a small dish, topped with an egg and baked up. It is a dish that Popeye would be proud to serve.
This week has also gone a bit coo-coo for coconut. It is one of those pantry ingredients that adds a hint of sweetness & subtle flavor that will boost an otherwise ordinary dish. To start, use the shreds to coat the Coconut Crusted Salmon or toss the bits with the Coconut Kale Salad and blend up with the Lime-Coconut Date Bars.
Coconut milk is one of the few cans that stays in my pantry and it adds dairy-free lusciousness to dishes such as the Coconut Creamed Chard and the Squash in Coconut Milk. The Indian Turkey Meatballs match up perfectly with all of this creamy coconut fun, too.
Finally, for a totally vegan, scrumptious dinner try the Jamaican Black Bean Burgers with carb-free lettuce wraps or simply in a bun as the recipe recommends. Serve them with the Jamaican Sweet Potato Salad for a complete meal. This hearty salad also pairs nicely with the Coconut-Kale Salad for lunch on the go.
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
