Revitalizing with Plant You!

I'm all caught up on sharing December meals, so here's an update on how I'm eating in January. I typically do some sort of reset plan, where I focus on whole foods. And this year is no different. Well, maybe a little different. Typically, I'd choose a month-long plan and go hard. But here lately, I've felt a desire to get away from rules and eat and live more intuitively. But I still wanted to do something, so I opted for Plant You's two-week Revitalize plan.

It's a free e-book that comes with preorders of Carleigh Bodrug's new Scrappy Cooking book. So if you want, go preorder her new book that comes out in April! The two-week plan focuses on mostly whole foods, but there is some oil (yay!), wraps, vegan mayo, and that kind of stuff. 

I started the plan in the second week of January, but I did make some Plant You recipes that weren't on the plan during the first week. Like these 10-Minute Tacos from Plant You. These are stuffed with the tastiest mushrooom-walnut meat and topped with cashew queso, unsweetened yogurt, and avocado. I will be making these again!

I also made this Cowboy Hash for breakfast in that first week — also from the Plant You cookbook. It has potatoes, peppers, onions, and pinto beans, and I topped it liberally with Indian ketchup (far superior to American ketchup!).

The first meal I made on the plan was this Mixed Greens and Quinoa Salad with hummus and veggies. The Plant You recipe in her first book are oil-free, but she uses some oil in this Revitalize e-book. And I'm here for it. There was oil in this salad dressing.

My first Revitalize dinner was Marry Me Pasta, which may be my favorite recipe so far. It's a hearty pasta with a coconut-tomato sauce that really sticks to your ribs! I'd marry it!
