    Nerding out today in writing about this 2-ingredie Nerding out today in writing about this 2-ingredient, homemade vegan buttermilk and all of the delicious baked goods you can make with it and why, exactly, it helps them to rise up and become their fluffy, delightful selves. If you love banana bread and muffins and biscuits and scones and pancakes as much as I do, then the post will probably be right up your alley.

    Celebrate strawberry szn with these delicious choc Celebrate strawberry szn with these delicious chocolate strawberry quinoa breakfast bowls! AKA a satisfying, whole grain breakfast that eats like dessert 😋🍫🍓 I love mixing up my whole grains in the morning, and quinoa takes on such a wonderful, creamy consistency when it’s simmered with plant milk. Adding chocolate doesn’t hurt 😉 Recipe link in my bio and here: https://www.thefullhelping.com/cocoa-strawberry-quinoa-breakfast-bowls/

    Garlic tahini smashed white bean salad on toast 💚
〰️
After a week of PB&J for lunch and frozen meatballs for dinner every single day, I’m reminded of how happy I am when I take the time to meal prep a few, hard-working lunch options! This flavorful, creamy bean salad is a great example. It’s versatile—serve it on toast, in a wrap, as part of a vegan grain bowl—and so, so tasty. The sweet, savory roasted garlic is everything. An old favorite of mine, and the link is in my bio and here: https://www.thefullhelping.com/smashed-garlic-tahini-white-bean-salad-toast/
〰️
No matter how busy you are this week, hope you’re getting some good midday nourishment in. Happy Thursday!

    Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mom, who has Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful mom, who has always known when to pick me up, when to have my back, and when to let me walk on my own. I rely on her as much now as I did back then, and I love her so much.
〰️
Celebrating my friends who are moms today and all of the people who take nurturing roles in the lives of others. Seeing the choice of those who don’t observe this day because it’s painful or doesn’t feel right. Feeling along with those who greet Mother’s Day with a mix of appreciation and sadness, love and longing. Honoring the work of all who are learning to reparent themselves. Much love to from me to you this Sunday 💗
