As my Love calls it — today is Self-Care Sunday. 💛

Those who know me know that Sundays are my time to play in the kitchen at Overlook Haven on Sale Creek Mountain. Today’s creations included a vegetable tofu scramble, crispy hashbrowns, and a new-to-us recipe — lemon blueberry doughnuts topped with a bright lemon glaze and lemon-zest-infused coconut sugar. 🍋🫐

All whole food plant-based — no oils, no eggs, lighter on salt and sugar, and most importantly free of ultra-processing and unnecessary preservatives. Food that nourishes, comforts, and celebrates simple ingredients.

So tell me… what are you doing on Self-Care Sunday? ✨

Love how the comments favored the “prettier” cookie.

REAL® butter creates the best baked goods. Imitators simply can’t compare.

You might be whole food plant based if you have 8 different types of flour in your refrigerator. (Semolina, spelt, tapioca, and amaranth flours are in the back. 🤣 Amaranth is gluten-free a substitute for all-purpose flour.)

To celebrate Dan’s birthday, he choose not to go out dinner to celebrate his birthday, so I got to play and create in the kitchen his birthday meal.

His whole food plant-based birthday dinner menu consisted of the following:
Appetizer: Stuffed mushrooms with homemade cashew mozzarella, onion, garlic, fresh chopped parsley, pepper
Entree: Potato gnocchi with marinara with nutritional yeast, crush red pepper flakes, and fresh chopped parsley
Dessert: Lemon-Blueberry Cake

Everyone was very pleased with dinner. Dan enjoyed being at home much better than going out.

When creating your own plant-based snacks, it allows you to enjoy food with little to no preservatives. This Sunday morning, Tess created one of Dan’s favorite snacks — peanut butter chocolate chip protein energy balls!

There is something satisfying when mixing ingredients and making things with your hands. You appreciate the time, taste, and thought into creating what you consume. Delicious. No guilt.

Recipe in the comments.

The first time Dan mentioned going plant-based to Tess, she thought he was insane! Her FAVORITE food is PIZZA! How can he take that away from her?

Changing to a plant-based lifestyle doesn’t mean that you become deprived of your favorite food. It means that you get to enjoy better versions of your favorite foods.
