A super flavorful meal that ya may or may not know that ya needed ! Look, this is honestly super easy. So give it a try! You’ll be like whoahhhhh, I just made this? and it’s not from a restaurant !? Kinda like, the feeling I’m alwayssss seeking when I make food. It feels real good to make stuff on your own! I want y’all to feel that way too. So give this a go- and definitely tag me with your re-creations! As always, y’all enjoy !

Teriyaki Tofu:


Ingredients:

Ricotta Toast (Gluten Free, Vegan + Keto Options)

Look, let me be real with y'all.... I'm not always down to try 'trends' ahem, for instance: PASTA CHIPS... why you ask? Oh because it didn't work for me. Like not one bit. My jaw hurt after eating a few of the so called 'chips' I made... I wasted a box of gluten free pasta, and that makes me sad all day. Butttttttt what doesn't make me sad is the beauty of ricotta toast.

It's not a trend to me.... since it's been something I've been enjoying for quite some time... But if it means folks are now into it that weren't before, well good for them! Happy to know other people out there are giving it a try and realizing how amazing it is! Whether it's whipped, with fruit or honey, or in a savory way... it is delicious! Like very very good. Soooo that being said, here are some ways I have ricotta-d my toast over the years. By all means use vegan ricotta if your dairy free/vegan too! Whatever works for ya! Just enjoy ;)

Mediterranean Pasta Salad w/ Green Goddess Sauce (Gluten Free + Vegetarian)

Pasta salad has a real special place in my heart.
I remember those pasta salad boxes I used to buy when I first moved out here on my own. That was a meal that was on repeattttt. Cause it was so easy, also was a little boring, not gonna lie... since it was not that flavorful.

But! When we make food now - we make it flavorfullllll. which is exactly what this is.
This beautiful green goddess sauce is by @clarkbar via @nytcooking - which is a must try. It’s so refreshing and worked perfectly in this.


*Ususally I make my own recipes for sauce and everything else, but her sauce looked so good I had to give it a try, and it didn't dissapoint! Find her recipe: here *

Ingredients:
  • 1 box Fusili Pasta ( I used Banza)
  • 1/4 cup- 1/2 cup Green Goddess sauce
  • 1/4 cup Arugula
  • 6-8 Kalamata Olives (sliced)
  • 3-4 tbsp Feta
  • 1/4 cup Purple Cabbage
  • 1/4 cup Cucumbers (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Bell Pepper (chopped)
  • 6 Cherry Tomatoes (sliced)

Insructions:
  1. Boil pasta according to package instructions.
  2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  3. Add in the sauce and stir until coated, I used a little more, but just go a little at a time with it to see how much you prefer.
  4. Add in the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Enjoy!

*Oh and I add balsamic glaze to it at one point and it was soooo good!

Chili Lime Watermelon Toast w/ Avocado Crema

Have you ever tried something that you absolutely thought sounded strange- but then when you tasted it, it was a beautiful flavor explosion? 

Yup.

That's this..
I do believe it!

So while you (and my boyfriend) may think this sounds strange, you might be pleasantly surprised! These flavors together were so good- I got soooo excited to share this with y'all !

It's also just a really beautiful combination of colors and I love looking at it. I hope you do too!

Okay y'all, let me get right to it.

You will need one batch of avocado crema (you won't use all of it for this, you'll have some left over, but you'll be so happy you do! 
Drizzle it on tacos, dip chips in it, you really can't go wrong with this crema, I love making it- and most importantly eating it!)

And then slices of watermelon. I cut my in rectangle shapes for this to give it a handheld 'toast' feel.

Watermelon Toast
(Makes 4 Slices)

Ingredients:
  • Watermelon Slices (4 rectangle slices)
  • 3 tbsp chili lime seasoning (I used Trader Joe's brand/ can sub for Tajin)
  • 1/2 persian cucumber (cut into slices)
  • 2-3 tbsp queso fresco
  • 2-3 tbsp avocado crema
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/2 lime (sliced)

Directions:
  1. Cut watermelon into rectangle slices.
  2. Dip all sides of the watermelon slices into chili lime seasoning until coated.
  3. Place cucumber slices on top. Drizzle on the crema.
  4. Add the queso fresco on top.
  5. Then garnish the watermelon with the queso fresco and cilantro. 
  6. Add a squeeze of the lime on top for extra tangy-ness!

Avocado Crema:
  • 1/2 avocado 
  • 2 tbsp avo oil mayo (I used @primalkitchenfoods)
  • Juice of half lime
  • Handful of cilantro
  • 1 green onion
  • Pinch of salt (to taste)
  • Pinch of Paprika
  • Pinch of Cumin 
  • 1 Garlic clove


Directions:
Place all ingredients together in a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. 
It’s just soooooooo good.

Snickers Fudge Stripes (Vegan, Gluten Free + Keto)

I told y’all last year that I was gonna make my own OG versions of fudge stripes for every season... so here we are!

Just to recap, I’ve made Pumpkin, Ginger Bread + Orange Creamsicle... who knows what’s next!  Fudge Stripes were hands down one of my favorites when I was a kid, so this is me showing my appreciation to them...

Tag me @thedailykale if you make it! Enjoy y’all! #thedailykale

Snickers Fudge Stripes
recipe by The Daily Kale, aka Krysten Jorgensen

Ingredients:

Cookie Dough:
2 cups almond flour
1 scoop protein powder ( I used @FourSigmatic)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp golden monk fruit (Sub any granulated sugar)
Pinch of salt
4 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
2-4 tbsp almond milk*

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Place all dry ingredients together and stir.
  3. In a separate bowl stir together the wet ingredients.
  4. Combine the two and stir.
*You may not need all 4 tbsp of the almond milk so hold off on using all of it at once, start off with 2. I used my hands to knead the dough a few times, yes it will be sticky!

    5. Place in between two pieces of parchment paper and press it out evenly with your hands or even a roller, but I just used my hands.
     6. Cut out circles with a measuring cup, and use a shot glass or something similar to cut out the small hole in the middle. Continue until you finish all the dough.
***These made 9 cookies for me. It varies depending on how thick you make the dough. Don’t make them to thin because you want them to be sturdy enough to hold up!
      7. Bake for 17 -20 minutes.
***These will need to let sit for at least 5 minutes to form, so don’t overlook- they are not meant to be touched/picked up right after they get out of the oven. So be patient and give them a minute to continue forming/cooking while they cool. Definitely don’t dip them in the chocolate while they are hot. Make the caramel and the chocolate while they are cooling.

Peanut Butter Caramel:
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup (I used @choczero)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 3-4 tbsp @nutpods caramel creamer (or nut milk)

Instructions: 
Stir everything together until smooth and creamy.
Add more creamer/nut milk if necessary. 

Chocolate fudge ( for topping/bottom)
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
3-4 tbsp coconut milk/or cream (can)
*Chopped Peanuts for topping (2-3 tbsp)

Instructions:
  1. Use a double boiler or double boiler make shift method (like me !) and stir everything together until creamy and smooth.
  2. Add a little more coconut cream if you need to thin it out more.
  3. Once the cookies are cool, dip the bottoms of the cookie in the chocolate and lay on a small pan lined with parchment paper.
  4. Make sure this will fit In your freezer.
  5. Drizzle on caramel and chocolate sauce on the top. Add the chopped peanuts.
  6. Freezer for 30-40 minutes. Peel them off of the parchment paper carefully and store in an air tight container in the fridge!
  7. Enjoy!
