🍚 This monthly Sustainable Kitchen Digest is for my friends who love rice (should be most of the 🌎 population, right? 😊). From repurposing leftover rice water to giving rice a vibrant blue hue, it's a fun issue. 👀 bit.ly/3TDhgjf #veganfood #vegan #whatveganseat #plantbased #ecosky
💦 Are you getting the most out of your #tofu? If you're pouring the water down the drain, try this: youtube.com/shorts/OC3HE... Tofu H20 *can* contain trace nutrients (more research is needed for full benefits), so I like to repurpose in the #garden. What do you do with yours? #vegan #ecosky

👩🏼🌾 Did you know it's National Farmer's Market Week? Here are some of my favorite finds at our local market last week. My fave was the 🍑 peach bar. DELISH. Celebrate small biz and stock up on food (and more!) this week. Do you have a farmer's market near you? #veganfood #farmersmarket #vegan
✨ Here are 5 of my favorite vegan treats right now. Are any of these on your grocery list? Sometimes, you need easy go-to snacks. And I guarantee non-vegans will love these, too. 😉 Curious: what would you add (or subtract)?? 🤤 👀 bit.ly/4wxx7OQ #vegan #veganfood #whatveganseat #plantbased
✨ Simple syrup doesn't *have* to be made with sugar. H20, stevia, and arrowroot powder make a delicious sugar-free version. 👀 Here's the recipe, and why I didn't make it with other sugar substitutes: inspiredepicurean.com/sugar-free-s... Do you use stevia? #vegan #veganfood #simplesyrup #stevia
🐝 Calm garden moments: Pollinate away, my little friends! I’ve never paid attention to how they share the space…I think it’s safe to say the hotel is full! 🤣 🔊 Enjoy 60 seconds of calm in the garden 🪴 Do you have any volunteers in your garden this year? #garden #bloomscrolling #blossom #bees
🛒 You've probably heard of the "Dirty Dozen," but what about everything else in the pantry? Here are 15 pantry staples to buy #organic (when possible). What would you add? 👀 bit.ly/4wc9T0C #veganfood #vegan #whatveganseat #plantbased
🥣 Did you know you can make quick cooking oats from that batch of old-fashioned rolled oats sitting in your pantry? It just takes a few pulses in the blender. Buy less, make more. 😉 (Link to the sausage recipe in comments) youtube.com/shorts/8tGEW... #veganfood #vegan #plantbased #whatveganseat

💜 Have any blackberries on hand? Here's a fun idea: turn them into #blackberry simple syrup that can become the base for lemonade, cocktails, mocktails, vinaigrettes, and more! 🥣 Recipe >> inspiredepicurean.com/blackberry-s... Do you have blackberries growing in your yard? #veganfood #vegan
🌱 I love a good garden surprise. Excited to see BBs (Baby Butternuts) on the vine that volunteered itself. All thanks to some seeds that wound up in the compost. I'm propping my little bébés (as Moira Rose would say) in a pot and can't wait to watch them grow! #veganfood #garden #butternutsquash
🩵 Finally got to try the Hippeas Rockin’ Ranch chips and they DO remind me of Cool Ranch Doritos! I actually prefer these…not because they’re vegan, but because they’re lighter. 😋 Have you tried these yet? #vegan #veganfood #plantbased #whatveganseat
😬 The concept of "gelatin" was gross to me even before I was #vegan. If only it went by "gelatin" on food labels so it would be easy to spot. Instead, it masquerades as hydrolyzed collagen, collagen hydrolysate, E441, gel, hide glue and more. More sneaky ingredients 👉🏽 bit.ly/4mW4IxR #veganfood
💜 NEW RECIPE: Blackberry Powder I've had a blast with fresh #blackberries this season and fell in love with homemade blackberry powder. Use it for smoothies, baked goods, as a topping, and more! (I'll show you how it uses food scraps, too!) 👀 inspiredepicurean.com/blackberry-p... #veganfood
☕️ Are you tossing your grounds after your morning brew? Here's a way to get more life out of them: bit.ly/4eTLgzp From homemade "espresso" powder to coffee-flavored #shortbread, this is for my coffee-loving friends! Do you use a #coffee pot, k-cups, pour overs, or something else? #veganfood
🧁 Summer sweet tooth? These #shortbread cookies are iced with homemade powdered sugar, a little soy milk, and fruit powder from leftover fruit scraps. Left = hibiscus icing Right = blackberry icing This week's digest is for my friends who love fruit AND cookies. 😉 bit.ly/3QuZzRO #veganfood
🐮 The irony of the title struck me. Whose health? Because it certainly isn't the cows'. And every other social feed is just FILLED with these "health" claims. Are you seeing the same? I'll take the #vegan health route, thank you. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi... #veganfood #plantbased

💜 If you love blackberries, this week's Sustainable Kitchen Digest is worth a look! From extending their shelf life with thermotherapy to a delicious blackberry simple syrup, it's my little summer celebration. 🥳 👀 bit.ly/4gCHU50 What's your favorite blackberry recipe? #veganfood #vegan #ecosky
🧁 Buy Less, Make More: Powdered Sugar Edition Skip store-bought powdered sugar and make it at home with some granulated sugar + cornstarch. It's easy, small batch, and won't be another plastic package you drag into the kitchen. 😬 Excited to start this new series! #veganfood #plantbased #vegan
🍓 Those #strawberry tops you pushed to the side when making that summer shortcake? They're calling your name! 🤣 Make a simple syrup with the scraps, and sweeten it with pure stevia + arrowroot powder for a no-added-sugar version. 🎥 Video went live today! youtu.be/KlDCnuiBd1A #veganfood #vegan

🍿 Big #popcorn fan, here. If you know me, you know I love experimenting with food scraps. Which is why this recipe was so much fun: popcorn #pancakes using leftover, ground kernels. Who wouldn't love a popcorn-flavored pancake?? 🥣 inspiredepicurean.com/popcorn-panc... #veganfood #plantbased

☀️ I'd love to hear...what's your summertime food nostalgia? Smoothies? Peach cobbler? I have a few: peach cobbler, watermelon slices, ice cream floats, guacamole, lemonade, and homemade rice krispie treats. Those transport me back to childhood so fast. 🤤 #veganfood #plantbased #vegan
