First Things First:

Method:

1. For 1 person: bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add 1/2 cup gluten free oats and stir.

2. Turn the heat down to low and let cook covered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Once cooked to desired consistency, add the cooked oats to a bowl and add your favourite toppings or the ones I used above.

4. Enjoy!!!

Snack: Organic Orange

Lunch: Buddha Bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 cup organic jasmine rice

• 1 small head of organic broccoli

• 1-2 carrots, chopped

• 6-8 organic brown mushrooms

• 1/2 can drained chickpeas

• 1-3 tsp. coconut aminos

• Spices to taste: pink salt, black pepper, garlic salt

• Topping: Nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, and Naam sauce

Method:

1. For 2 people: boil 2 cups water in a pot and add 1 cup rice, let come back to a boil, turn down to low heat, and cover. Let cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. As the rice is cooking prep the vegetables by washing and cutting them. Dicing the broccoli into smaller pieces, grating the carrots or chopping them up, cutting the mushrooms into 4's.

3. In a frying pan over medius heat add some plant based butter or oil such as coconut oil or olive oil, add the mushrooms and begin to sauté, stirring occasionally.

4. In another pot you can add some water, enough to steam the carrots and broccoli for about 10 minutes on medium heat or until desired texture.

5. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the chickpeas to the pan and season to your liking (we used the above seasonings).

6. Once the chickpeas are heated, drain and add the broccoli and carrots to the pan and add some more seasoning and coconut aminos and let sit in the pan on low heat.

7. In a bowl place the rice first, then add the veggies, mushrooms, and chickpeas, and top with naam sauce.

8. Enjoy!!

Dinner: Veggie Pesto Pasta

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cups gluten free pasta

• 1 small head of broccoli, diced

• 1-2 carrots, chopped

• 1/2 can of chickpeas (the other half from lunch)

• Store bought pesto sauce

• Seasoning to taste: pink salt, black pepper, nutritional yeast

Method:

1. Boil a pot of water and once boiling add the noodles, turn down slightly and let cook, stirring occasionally.

2. In another pot boil some water and once boiling add the diced carrots and broccoli to steam until desired texture.

3. Once the pasta is fully cooked, drain the water and add the noddles back to the same pot.

4. Drain the carrots and cauliflower and add to the noodles.

5. Add the chickpeas and keep the pot on low-medium heat while adding the pesto in - stir to combine.

6. Turn off heat and dish out into bowls, plates, or eat from the pot (less dishes!!).
