Well I lost my jackfruit virginity tonight y’all

Well I lost my jackfruit virginity tonight y’all! & I loved it 🤠 These Pulled Jackfruit BBQ Bowls are a great way to enjoy a meatless meal while still feeling like you’re having something hearty. I was very iffy on the jackfruit, but honestly it’s quite delicious! The jackfruit tastes like nothing so it will just adapt to whatever sauce you add! Feel free to use pulled chicken if you aren’t about it 😉 But I will say this is 100x easier than cooking chicken.
.
Ingredients:
Pulled Jackfruit:
1 20 oz can Green Jackfruit in Brine*
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
For the bowl:
Brown rice
Romaine lettuce
Black beans
Corn (I sautéd the frozen roasted corn from TJ’s)
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Tortilla chips
Green onion & cilantro
BBQ Sauce & Ranch (recipe on my blog)
Instructions:
Heat a pan over medium heat. Drain your jackfruit and dry it off. Add to your pan and add in BBQ sauce. You can use a masher, fork or wooden spoon to break up the jackfruit until it looks like pulled meat!
Assemble your bowls and enjoy ☺️
*Some suggest pulling the bulb like piece out of the center of the jackfruit because it doesn’t shred as easily but I left it and it still tasted great and I really didn’t notice it was there. Your call!

Thai Coconut Curry Potsticker Soup
Ingredients:
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 red Thai chili or 1/2 jalapeño, minced (optional- will make it spicy!)
1 bell pepper, diced
1 cup white mushrooms, diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubes
3 cups fresh spinach
Juice from 1 large lime
1 can coconut milk
1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Red Curry Sauce (or 2 tbsp red curry paste + 1 tbsp soy sauce)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 16 oz bag of frozen potstickers (I used the veggie ones from Traders)
Kosher salt & pepper to taste
Cilantro and lime to garnish
Instructions:
Heat a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once heated, add coconut oil then onion, garlic, chili pepper and ginger. Sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes) then add mushrooms and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until veggies are soft. Add sweet potato and spinach and stir to combine until the spinach is wilted. Add in lime, coconut milk, curry sauce, and broth. Bring to a boil then let it simmer on low and covered for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Bring back to a boil and add your potstickers. They should be heated through in 5-7 minutes. Serve immediately and garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime! Makes about 6 servings.

I think everyone can agree that the ultimate comfort food is Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup 🥰 There’s really nothing better on a chilly fall night. It’s so incredibly easy to make homemade tomato soup, especially if you have an immersion blender. I love the one I have from @smegusa so much I have gifted it to a few of my friends too! #SMEGpartner
I switch up this recipe a lot, but the key is using high quality tomatoes and olive oil! Feel free to add other herbs, like oregano. You really can’t go wrong with this one.
.
Roasted Tomato Soup:
3 lbs Roma tomatoes
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 head of garlic
4 sprigs of thyme
1 large sprig of fresh basil
1-2 cups veggie broth
High quality extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Kosher salt and pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut your tomatoes into fourths and place on a sheet pan with the sliced onions. Drizzle with olive oil and season with oregano, salt & pepper. Add thyme and basil. Slice the top off of a full head of garlic, pour olive oil on top and cover with foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
When the tomatoes are almost done, heat a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and then add your tomatoes (make sure you get all the juices on the pan too!) and squeeze out your roasted garlic.
Add 1 cup of veggie broth then blend the soup with an immersion blender and season to taste / add more broth if needed. Bring to a boil then turn heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes while you make your grilled cheese. I used pepper Jack cheese and I like to butter and toast each side of my bread to make it extra crispy and ensure the cheese fully melts. Makes about 4 large servings.

This is DEFINITELY going to save me some money….

This is DEFINITELY going to save me some money…. An @elephante Whipped Eggplant Copycat Recipe with just 4 ingredients🍆 The last time I was there I faked 72 allergies so they would give me the details on what’s in this liquid gold and I found out what makes it so creamy and airy. My heart could explode. If you haven’t had this magical dip, I can promise you it will change your life. If you have had it, I’m sure you’re not even reading this because you skipped right to the recipe and are probably on your way to the grocery store. I am retiring now. Goodbye 👋🏼
.
Ingredients:
1 eggplant
2 tbsp creme fraiche (they have at TJ’s)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
Kosher salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the top off the eggplant then cut in half, longways. Coat with a drizzle of olive oil and salt.
Roast for 30-40 minutes until soft and golden brown. Let cool for another 30 minutes at least then peel the skin off. Feel free to scoop out the seeds if you’d like to make the dip smoother.
In a food processor or blender, add the eggplant, creme fraiche, olive oil, garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Blend or pulse until combined. Season to taste and serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top and of course, pita bread 🥲🙌🏼
