WHAT’S IN MY CART 🌱

I get a lot of questions about how I shop and the first thing I tell people is it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. If you truly eat a Whole Foods plant based diet, then you’re skipping out on all the specialty expensive grocery items and sticking to fresh and easy ingredients.

Here in my cart today, I have: sweet potatoes, bananas, cashews, carrots, broccolini, bok choy, vegetable broth, spinach, spaghetti squash, chickpeas and fire roasted crushed tomatoes. Here’s what dishes I’m making with all this deliciousness...

-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Crispy Seasoned Chickpeas, Sautéed Spinach and then drizzled with Cashew Cream

-Roasted Spaghetti Squash Noodles with Fresh Marinara (fire roasted crushed tomatoes is the base) and Roasted Garlic Broccolini

-Miso Soup with Carrots, Bok Choy, Baked tofu and Buckwheat Soba Noodles (already had)

And that’s it guys! Super simple but full of flavor and plant power. The body feels so light, charged and satisfied after eating like this and it’s the best for your immune system. You can just see all the phytonutrients in my cart! 😍 I often gaze at my shopping cart and how beautiful it looks when I shop. Preparing food should look beautiful and feel beautiful from beginning to end.

If you’re interested in learning how to navigate the grocery store to add more plants into your diet, consider scheduling a grocery store tour! They are super fun and incredibly useful!

Vegan Grazing Platter! Hope everyone had a blessed holiday season! My man and I had the pleasure of retreating to Sedona for 5 days without kids. We both are super busy entrepreneurs and parents of 3 children and we felt the calling to step away for a bit for the health of our spirits and to reconnect as a couple. 💗 Health is much more than what we put in our bodies. We hiked the beautiful red rocks, took some polar plunges in the icy creek nearby, created music, play board games in our cozy cabin and of course ate lots of amazing vegan food.

Pictured here is the grazing platter I prepared for us on Christmas Day to enjoy as we played games. Most of the cheeses are from and then filled it out with an assortment of dried fruit, seasoned nuts, , tortilla chips, sliced pears and decadent chocolate. YUM! What a treat this was! It’s ok to splurge here and there and eat a little more celebratory... but I’m always happy to welcome back my clean eating lifestyle. 😉🙏🏼

Here’s to a happy and healthy 2021! Looking forward to serving you all this year. Much love- Chef Shelley

Mmmm donuts! This past week I moved into a new space that will be much more comfortable for my business! 🙌🏼 Feeling so grateful and needed to celebrate!...so I whipped up these beauties: Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts. Buttery and moist with an aroma that makes you dream of fall. Threw these in with some of yesterday’s meal deliveries.
