Ingredients:
You can choose either Fingerling or Red Potatoes. Fingerling Potatoes aren't just cute little potateos. They grow small and narrow, come in a variety of colors, have a nutty taste, and are an excellent source of Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6). According to the USDA Food Database, Red Potatoes are the healthiest potato based on mineral and vitamin density, macronutrient balance, sugar-to-fiber and sodium-to-potassium ratios, and the phytochemical profile.

What do you do with all those fresh or frozen berries? Make your own jam that’s healthy and more affordable than store bought jam! We turn to our favorite plant-based cookbook the Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon for a sweet treat that can top a bagel, toast, or even ice cream.
Ingredients:
Tip: Angela recommends mixing strawberries in a food processor until smooth since they do not break down as quickly as other berries.

Halloween has passed, but pumpkins are plentiful! We decorate our Thanksgiving Day tables and doorways with them throughout autumn.
Before you throw away the gooey, icky, seedy guts, or compost your table decorations, consider eating the pumpkin and seeds! Pumpkin is a seed-bearing fruit that is highly nutritious and considered a superfood--power packed with nutrients. However, pumpkin-based junk food, like candy and lattes, may be loaded with sugar. After baking, steaming, or roasting, add a little pumpkin puree to a smoothie, oatmeal, or make soup, muffins, or a pie.
Let’s take a look at this superfood...

Check out this article by "Trash is For Tossers" to learn the importance of "upcycling" your pumpkins! Pumpkins release methane gas when they are thrown away which contributes to the climate crisis. Instead, check out the recipes on how to use those pumpkins for nutritional and delicious benefits!

Where do you get your protein? This is the most frequently asked question when following a plant-based diet. The answer is “from plants!” Lentil Quinoa Tacos pack a powerful protein punch and we hope you try them. This tasty recipe was found on Dr. Greger’s www.nutritionfacts.org site from Erin Stanczyk - Eat Move Rest. Feel free to stuff your tacos with your favorite veggies and spices to tailor for your taste buds and family’s peculiarities...ENJOY!
INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS:
1. Rinse and drain quinoa and lentils and cook each separately with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium/low until water is absorbed and grains are cooked.
2. Meanwhile, sauté onion and garlic with a bit of pepper and a splash of water in a pan until soft, fragrant and slightly translucent.
3. When green lentils are cooked, place in a strainer and rinse under COLD water and then place in a food processor and pulse to achieve more of a “meaty” texture. *The cold rinse will help ensure that the lentils do not become over-processed.
4. Combine pulsed lentils, quinoa, sautéed onion and garlic, and seasoning mix, and stir until thoroughly combined.
5. Serve the dish up with optional fixings below. Makes enough for about 4-6 people.
Notes:
With summer over and the kids back to school in some manner, here’s a fast and easy lunch that tastes good hot or cold...and it’s simple to make! This dish tastes great plain or on top of a green salad. One cup of cooked quinoa has about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. It contains 222 calories, with 39 grams of carbs and only 4 grams of fat. Harvard University states that “unlike some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. (Ref: hsph.harvard.edu). Hope you try it and post pictures on our Facebook page “Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga.”
