Friend, if you're ready to finally feel better by eating meals that you really love, this is the episode for you.

00:00:07.847 --> 00:00:14.410
Today, jared and I are sharing with you some of our very favorite recipes and how you can get your hands on them too.

00:00:14.410 --> 00:00:17.681
I can't wait to give you the insider secrets on these.

00:00:17.681 --> 00:00:18.585
Here we go.

00:00:18.585 --> 00:00:22.094
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:22.094 --> 00:00:27.390
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:32.789
Do you wanna avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:32.789 --> 00:00:39.046
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:39.046 --> 00:00:41.127
Hi, we're Sheridan, anita Roussel.

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.744
Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:46.744 --> 00:00:58.950
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.

00:00:58.950 --> 00:01:06.191
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:06.191 --> 00:01:09.971
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:09.971 --> 00:01:11.557
You just need the way.

00:01:11.557 --> 00:01:15.146
That's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived.

00:01:15.146 --> 00:01:23.373
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:01:23.373 --> 00:01:28.646
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:28.646 --> 00:01:53.605
Well, hey there, sunshine, we love having you back with us today, and if this is your first time with us, you have chosen the best time to join us, because we're going to be sharing with you one of the big keys that we used in our own lives and that we use with our clients day after day to help them reverse disease naturally, so they can finally feel better by eating meals they really love.

00:01:54.087 --> 00:01:54.810
And this is key.

00:01:54.810 --> 00:01:55.793
I want you to think about that.

00:01:55.793 --> 00:01:59.888
Anytime you've tried to get healthy, what do you think you have to do?

00:01:59.888 --> 00:02:05.626
Well, I have to starve myself or I have to eat foods that taste less than we're programmed to think.

00:02:05.626 --> 00:02:10.825
We have to eat less than foods to finally feel good, and it's just not true.

00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:28.265
We want you to understand that you can still have many of the meals that have been your previous favorite meals, but also you're going to find so many new favorites that were not even on your radar, because these whole plant foods are the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

00:02:28.265 --> 00:02:35.550
They are also some of the tastiest foods on the planet and they are going to give flavor to your foods that you have never had before.

00:02:35.550 --> 00:02:39.550
I know, I know you've been eating side dishes and you've been eating your veggies.

00:02:39.550 --> 00:02:41.516
This is different.

00:02:41.516 --> 00:03:05.444
It is going to shock you how amazing and unbelievable these foods taste when you have the right recipe that not only lights up your taste buds by allowing them to get clean of all the things that were hiding the flavors that were masking the flavors that were always in the really great foods, but you're also going to be able to get free from being chained to the kitchen.

00:03:05.444 --> 00:03:10.550
I know you're thinking, oh hallelujah, that'd be awesome if that could happen.

00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:12.219
For me, it can happen.

00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:26.641
It's a shame that somehow we've been programmed and trained to think that eating healthy tastes bad and that it's going to be difficult, it's going to take longer, it's going to be time consuming, it's going to be difficult, it's going to take longer, it's going to be time consuming, it's going to be expensive.

00:03:26.641 --> 00:03:34.205
All of these things that we believe that just are not true, and I want you to understand that the truth is.

00:03:34.205 --> 00:03:36.955
This is when you know how to do it the right way.

00:03:36.955 --> 00:03:49.105
Eating whole food, plant based is the simplest, the quickest, the easiest and the most joy producing way to eat on this planet, because the food tastes great.

00:03:49.105 --> 00:03:51.594
You're not stuck for hours in the kitchen.

00:03:51.855 --> 00:04:03.567
When you can learn from somebody who's gone before you that can show you how to do this, it is key for you and the perfect place to start learning that is from the cookbook of someone who's done these things.

00:04:03.567 --> 00:04:21.360
Because when you can start looking at these recipes and start seeing how did they replace this, how did they replace that, and just seeing that it's possible from day one, don't you think that's the biggest thing Jared to me, when you can get a hold of a book like this and you can just see, wow, this is possible.

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:28.084
I just cranked out this meal in five, 10 minutes and my non-plant-based eating husband enjoys it.

00:04:28.084 --> 00:04:31.512
My non-plant-based eating friends are asking me for the recipes.

00:04:31.512 --> 00:04:33.184
This is the reality of what can happen.

00:04:33.865 --> 00:04:45.471
I believe this, honestly, is the missing link and this is what really has driven our passion People knowing they need to make a change and they realize I need more plants in my diet in the way that makes it quick, simple and delicious.

00:04:45.471 --> 00:04:49.641
I was actually talking with a patient yesterday who's just now starting on this journey.

00:04:49.641 --> 00:04:53.211
Considering it, he hasn't even told his family that he's doing this.

00:04:53.432 --> 00:04:54.173
Surprise.

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:08.389
But he started making some changes with breakfast, some with lunch, and he told me he tries to keep his meals simple and he had one meal broccoli and rice and that's not a bad meal We've actually done that ourselves but he doesn't put anything on it.

00:05:08.389 --> 00:05:10.047
And I was explaining no, no, no, no.

00:05:10.047 --> 00:05:12.904
You can have tons of flavor, you can add things to it.

00:05:13.125 --> 00:05:13.326
Man.

00:05:13.459 --> 00:05:14.524
And he just didn't understand that.

00:05:14.524 --> 00:05:16.706
And that's where our recipes come in.

00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:26.221
But I just had a thought too, as you were talking a moment ago about the cookbook, it's really more than just a cookbook.

00:05:26.221 --> 00:05:32.423
It's almost a how-to, because if you can take the recipes, you see the ingredients, you see the techniques used those techniques aren't individual for that one recipe.

00:05:32.423 --> 00:05:46.331
You can take that and apply it to many other recipes and if you look at the time-saving strategies that we use, then you can adapt that to many other recipes and have just tons of variety and tons of time.

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:50.548
Tons of time is where it's at, but I think about the broccoli and rice.

00:05:50.548 --> 00:06:00.108
So your patient comes over and he's eating whole food plant-based, and he's trying it, and all he knows to do is take a bowl and put some plain rice and some plain broccoli in it, which, again, like Jared said, it's not bad.

00:06:00.108 --> 00:06:06.483
It's not bad to do this, but it may not work for you in the long run.

00:06:06.483 --> 00:06:08.733
If you're used to broccoli rice casserole that's cheesy and creamy and delicious, right.

00:06:08.733 --> 00:06:17.105
So the question you start asking yourself is how do I get that in the way that is going to taste just as good or even better to me than my old favorites did?

00:06:17.105 --> 00:06:32.922
And that's where you start getting this mind blowing key and understanding how getting these right recipes into your life, having this treasure trove, if you will, this treasure chest filled with recipes that you can start with that are your base.

00:06:32.922 --> 00:06:47.593
And then you get in community with other people who are eating this way, sharing what they're doing, which recipes they're enjoying the most in the cookbooks, and all of a sudden, you start learning ways that they're changing things up and adding more things to, and you get these skills.

00:06:47.593 --> 00:06:55.314
Like Jared said, it's an indispensable whole food plant-based handbook that you now have your hands on, that's going to unlock food freedom for you.

00:06:55.314 --> 00:07:02.494
In other words, you're not going to be tied to and, in many cases, physically addicted to the foods that have kept you stuck for so long.

00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:07.444
But you've got to bust out of this mindset that it just has to be plain broccoli and plain rice.

00:07:07.444 --> 00:07:11.822
So let's take this one recipe, for example, from the new Thrive Cookbook.

00:07:11.822 --> 00:07:13.648
Our brand new cookbook bundle is out.

00:07:13.648 --> 00:07:21.641
It's filled with amazing recipes and we want to highlight some of those for you today, so that you understand what this is going to change for you.

00:07:21.641 --> 00:07:24.728
If you can start getting your new favorites in a way, that's just a no-brainer, that's going to change for you.

00:07:24.728 --> 00:07:28.117
If you can start getting your new favorites in a way that's just a no brainer, that's going to cut down the time that you spend in the kitchen.

00:07:28.197 --> 00:07:34.742
I think back to the broccoli rice that I used to make the cheesy broccoli rice casserole, and I compared the old one to the new one.

00:07:34.742 --> 00:07:42.206
The new one is so much more joyful, not only because it tastes better to the whole family, but because it saves me hours in the kitchen.

00:07:42.206 --> 00:07:45.250
I used to spend so much time cooking these things.

00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:54.990
And now it just doesn't have to be Like I've got instant pot brown rice, which is from the original cookbook, and then I can take my Valnita cheese recipe.

00:07:54.990 --> 00:08:00.932
I can actually use it as a cheese sauce and pour it all into that rice.

00:08:00.932 --> 00:08:03.689
Oh my goodness it is so good.

00:08:03.961 --> 00:08:06.440
It must take hours to make this Valnita cheese sauce right.

00:08:06.721 --> 00:08:08.367
This is dump it in the blender.

00:08:08.367 --> 00:08:09.350
It's a no brainer.

00:08:09.350 --> 00:08:11.798
Press start and it's done.

00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:16.653
It doesn't take 10 minutes, I think, maybe five to ten.

00:08:16.793 --> 00:08:20.682
Yeah, once you've learned how to make it, it's going to be five to ten, no more than that.

00:08:20.682 --> 00:08:22.384
And then you've got this cheese sauce.

00:08:22.384 --> 00:08:29.235
You bubble it up on the stove, it gets thick and then you can immediately start setting it in your fridge, and it sets up in no time.

00:08:29.235 --> 00:08:32.471
If you want it thicker, you add a little bit more of the agar powder.

00:08:32.471 --> 00:08:38.544
If you want it thinner, where it doesn't set up and you're going to use it like a cheese sauce, you don't have to put quite so much of that powder in there.

00:08:38.544 --> 00:08:42.289
You may be thinking oh see, it's got all these things like agar in it.

00:08:42.330 --> 00:08:43.331
I don't know what that is.

00:08:43.652 --> 00:08:46.895
This is one of the few things that you maybe have never heard of in the cookbook.

00:08:46.895 --> 00:08:52.392
That's why I wanted to bring it up, to demystify it for you, because it is amazing.

00:08:52.392 --> 00:08:56.346
It's natural, it's super easy to use and it's in this recipe.

00:08:56.346 --> 00:08:59.350
You are going to love the difference that it makes for you.

00:08:59.350 --> 00:09:06.022
If you want cheese, you're going to need to learn about this ingredient, but it is so easy to find.

00:09:06.022 --> 00:09:08.609
I can tell you exactly where to get it inside Podcast Insider's Experience.

00:09:08.609 --> 00:09:11.889
All you have to do is say, hey, anita, where do you get this for that recipe?

00:09:11.889 --> 00:09:13.657
Where do you get that for that recipe?

00:09:13.657 --> 00:09:20.121
And all you have to do is ask and I'll tell you, or one of the members will tell you, how easy it is to order it straight to your door.

00:09:20.121 --> 00:09:24.246
It is literally a no brainer and it's going to make all the difference for you.

00:09:24.267 --> 00:09:32.076
But with this, I want you to wrap your mind around how simple it is to recreate your old favorite meals.

00:09:32.076 --> 00:09:34.869
So let's stick with this broccoli rice casserole for a minute.

00:09:34.869 --> 00:09:38.289
So it's freed me up time in the kitchen because it's much quicker.

00:09:38.289 --> 00:09:42.691
I've got this cheese sauce that I'm making whizzing up and boiling on the stove.

00:09:42.691 --> 00:09:44.748
It literally takes no time at all.

00:09:44.748 --> 00:09:45.442
It's so easy.

00:09:45.442 --> 00:09:47.988
I've got the rice dumped in the Instant Pot.

00:09:47.988 --> 00:09:48.730
I press start.

00:09:48.730 --> 00:09:49.772
That's going to cook for me.

00:09:49.772 --> 00:09:51.624
If you have a rice cooker, go for it.

00:09:51.624 --> 00:09:54.269
Whatever you want to use for that it's done.

00:09:54.269 --> 00:09:55.801
Then you put it together.

00:09:55.801 --> 00:10:00.788
You could put it together with some onions and some steamed broccoli, get it into your oven, boom, finish, I mean.

00:10:00.788 --> 00:10:06.015
So this is how you can start taking some of the recipes that we have and even putting them together and create new recipes.

00:10:06.015 --> 00:10:10.969
But let's say, I'm just brand spanking new to this and I don't want to start putting things together yet.

00:10:10.969 --> 00:10:13.206
You're going to get there, and you're going to get there fast.

00:10:13.267 --> 00:10:33.345
When you're in our communities and we're working with you, showing you how to do this stuff, it's going to blow your mind, but I've made this cookbook where you can pick it up and make things straight from the beginning to end, even putting pro tips in there for you, including get ready for this a photo for every single recipe.

00:10:33.345 --> 00:10:43.738
If you're like me, I know when I pick up a cookbook I want to see the pictures, and I'm so disappointed because so many times I pick up cookbooks and the recipe does not have a photo.

00:10:43.738 --> 00:10:45.851
I'm thinking how's this supposed to look?

00:10:45.851 --> 00:10:49.833
I don't know, and so I made sure to make that a priority for you.

00:10:49.833 --> 00:10:56.254
Each recipe is literally two pages Photo recipe, photo recipe.

00:10:56.254 --> 00:10:59.455
So you know, if it was an in-depth recipe, it could not fit on one page.

00:10:59.455 --> 00:11:05.746
Might not fit on one page.

00:11:05.746 --> 00:11:06.649
Might not fit on one page.

00:11:06.649 --> 00:11:07.611
That ought to tell you something.

00:11:07.611 --> 00:11:10.500
So I want to give you an insight into some of the amazing recipes that you'll find in the cookbook.

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:13.068
I do want to highlight that the table of contents is clickable.

00:11:13.068 --> 00:11:17.447
It is so if you're thinking I have to scroll through all of the cookbook to find the recipes.

00:11:17.447 --> 00:11:21.616
No, Just click the name of the recipe in the table of contents and it'll take you directly to the page.

00:11:21.817 --> 00:11:24.328
Jared did that for us and I love having that.

00:11:24.328 --> 00:11:29.989
It's a digital cookbook and all you have to do is go to the table of contents, click it, boom, you're on your recipe.

00:11:29.989 --> 00:11:33.697
So here are the recipes on the inside.

00:11:33.697 --> 00:11:43.130
You can go to poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook to learn more about the original cookbook as well as this brand new thrive cookbook bundle.

00:11:43.130 --> 00:11:45.379
But we're giving you all the inside scoop today.

00:11:45.379 --> 00:11:48.413
So what I'm going to do is read you every single recipe.

00:11:48.413 --> 00:11:55.092
We don't have it on the cookbook sales page, but you're going to get the inside scoop so you'll know exactly what is in this cookbook.

00:11:55.634 --> 00:11:58.446
And listen, these are life changing.

00:11:58.446 --> 00:12:01.515
I'm looking at the first recipe light southern biscuits.

00:12:01.515 --> 00:12:03.312
They literally are light.

00:12:03.312 --> 00:12:04.793
They're a little bit well.

00:12:04.793 --> 00:12:10.475
You can bake them until they're a little crunchy on the outside, if you like that firmness on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

00:12:10.475 --> 00:12:11.889
But you won't believe it.

00:12:12.004 --> 00:12:16.576
You may have gone in, like many people, and had a bad experience in a bakery.

00:12:16.576 --> 00:12:18.948
You walk in, the front of it looks good.

00:12:18.948 --> 00:12:20.390
You go in this vegan bakery.

00:12:20.390 --> 00:12:25.698
You get in there, you get a baked good and it is dry and crumbly and tastes disgusting.

00:12:25.698 --> 00:12:32.187
Okay, I'm having none of that.

00:12:32.187 --> 00:12:32.788
I grew up in a restaurant.

00:12:32.788 --> 00:12:34.091
My family values excellence and it's got to taste good.

00:12:34.091 --> 00:12:36.519
Jared will tell you it's got to taste good or I'm having none of it.

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:40.105
So these are really, when I say they're light southern biscuits.

00:12:40.105 --> 00:12:42.168
They are tasty and good.

00:12:42.168 --> 00:12:46.999
They're not going to be dry, chokish or any of that, and we do oil free.

00:12:46.999 --> 00:12:49.052
You're not going to have added oil.

00:12:49.052 --> 00:12:50.678
How can that be without butter?

00:12:50.678 --> 00:12:52.847
Jared and I have this recipe that we make.

00:12:52.847 --> 00:12:57.028
We have not released this recipe yet, but it's probably going to be in cookbook volume three.

00:12:57.028 --> 00:13:02.129
It's definitely going to be available to the members who join us inside our upcoming course.

00:13:02.129 --> 00:13:05.135
It's our brand new pudding recipe.

00:13:05.135 --> 00:13:06.118
It's a chocolate pudding.

00:13:06.605 --> 00:13:13.067
Now we have a family member who is not whole food, plant-based, wants none of it, thinks it's going to taste nasty.

00:13:13.067 --> 00:13:16.917
She came to our house and she tried this pudding and she was freaking out.

00:13:16.917 --> 00:13:23.480
When I tell you she watches Food Network all the time and is a crazy connoisseur of food, it's an understatement.

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.787
She tries it and this is exactly what she said to us.

00:13:26.787 --> 00:13:28.671
What Is there?

00:13:28.671 --> 00:13:29.351
Heavy cream.

00:13:29.351 --> 00:13:34.149
This tastes exactly like it's got heavy cream and butter and sugar.

00:13:34.149 --> 00:13:36.514
But you don't eat that stuff, right?

00:13:36.514 --> 00:13:38.005
Have you changed back how you're eating.

00:13:38.005 --> 00:13:38.846
What's in this?

00:13:38.846 --> 00:13:39.808
What did you do?

00:13:39.808 --> 00:13:48.413
And she was convinced that we had somehow used heavy cream, butter and sugar, because she didn't understand how we could get those flavors from whole plant foods.

00:13:48.413 --> 00:13:49.796
And yet we did.

00:13:50.518 --> 00:13:52.067
And the textures.

00:13:52.087 --> 00:13:53.431
Oh, the textures are huge.

00:13:53.431 --> 00:13:56.297
Right, it's part of the dining experience, all right.

00:13:56.297 --> 00:14:03.135
So I'm going to read through and share some of these recipes I want Jared to do the same and then just jump in and share.

00:14:03.135 --> 00:14:09.976
So if you've got a story or you know of something that you just exceptionally love, I know you love all of these because this is what we eat.

00:14:09.976 --> 00:14:15.677
If you're wondering what we eat in a day, in a week, in a month, in a year, this is what we eat.

00:14:15.904 --> 00:14:21.456
And before we get started with that you mentioned earlier about how these recipes save you time is what we eat, and before we get started with that, you mentioned earlier about how these recipes save you time.

00:14:21.456 --> 00:14:26.126
One way that I would love to highlight is the fact that our children make these recipes.

00:14:26.126 --> 00:14:29.514
They're quick, they're easy, so they're doing it.

00:14:29.514 --> 00:14:31.966
But you're a busy mom, you're a busy dad.

00:14:31.966 --> 00:14:36.298
Your children can step in and help to make these, which saves you time.

00:14:36.298 --> 00:14:40.777
But it also helps them to build very valuable life lessons.

00:14:40.777 --> 00:14:44.855
So they start making these foods and they start learning how to cook.

00:14:44.855 --> 00:14:55.091
So that way, when one day as sad as that day will be, when they go off and they have their own family, they're not going to be panicking like, oh my goodness, I don't know how to provide for myself.

00:14:55.091 --> 00:14:58.331
They will already have had years of experience doing these things.

00:14:58.471 --> 00:15:02.859
I just think about the nutritional head start that we would have had if we had known these things.

00:15:02.859 --> 00:15:12.331
And it literally is like one of my friends says we want our ceiling to be their floor, so the highest points that we reach.

00:15:12.331 --> 00:15:20.438
We want them to start there, and this is one of the easiest, most joy filled ways that you can do that and make those family memories in the kitchen.

00:15:20.438 --> 00:15:26.711
But if you spend all that time and you make stuff for the kids and it turns out tasting nasty, they're not going to be interested in it.

00:15:26.711 --> 00:15:37.788
You want the recipes and the things that are tried and tested and true, that work, that give you time freedom, that make you happy, that make you wonder why did I ever think I needed oil?

00:15:37.788 --> 00:15:49.253
Why did I ever think I needed to add white sugar and all that butter and all that cream and all those things, when it tastes just as good and many times even better, and this is just so much fun.

00:15:49.253 --> 00:15:50.956
I'm loving this Y'all.

00:15:50.956 --> 00:15:51.745
Okay, here we go.

00:15:51.745 --> 00:16:00.778
Okay, you've got to hear these recipes Light Southern biscuits, crustless Veggie Quiche so so good.

00:16:01.278 --> 00:16:02.520
Tofu Bacon.

00:16:02.520 --> 00:16:07.857
This one has been a game changer for one of our members inside of Podcast Insider's Experience.

00:16:07.857 --> 00:16:16.644
He was talking about it recently and he was talking about how amazing this tofu bacon is and he likes to take it and put tempeh in the sauce and make tempeh bacon.

00:16:16.644 --> 00:16:19.955
So there's one way an insider scoop that you can change it up.

00:16:19.955 --> 00:16:21.913
He was just saying this is incredible.

00:16:21.913 --> 00:16:24.855
I love using this so much on so many different dishes.

00:16:24.855 --> 00:16:27.594
I love to use it in TLTs.

00:16:28.024 --> 00:16:29.227
Like instead of the LT.

00:16:29.307 --> 00:16:31.875
We put the toffee bacon or the tempeh bacon in there.

00:16:32.215 --> 00:16:33.138
It's amazing.

00:16:33.138 --> 00:16:34.330
We'll make wraps with it.

00:16:34.330 --> 00:16:36.788
We'll make tortillas and then make wraps with it.

00:16:36.849 --> 00:16:40.534
Yeah, we've done a lot of raw wraps with it and you can dehydrate these.

00:16:40.534 --> 00:16:41.817
You do not have to bake them.

00:16:41.817 --> 00:16:46.571
You can actually dehydrate them if you have a dehydrator, and they taste amazing.

00:16:46.571 --> 00:16:54.601
Actually, I might like them a little bit better dehydrated, but just because you get more of that kind of bacon jerky texture, I think.

00:16:54.601 --> 00:16:56.408
But they're very good in the oven as well.

00:16:56.408 --> 00:16:58.294
You're not going to be disappointed.

00:16:58.294 --> 00:17:06.656
Snacks we have cashew apple, nita bars, chexless party mix, crispy chia chips, crunchy kale chips.

00:17:06.656 --> 00:17:14.739
Let me tell you something I don't know if you've ever tried brads before, but these rival brads and they're not as salty.

00:17:14.739 --> 00:17:17.352
They are incredible.

00:17:17.352 --> 00:17:25.493
Now I do recommend that these be made in a dehydrator, because I haven't been able to get quite the crunch in the oven without them getting a little burnt.

00:17:25.493 --> 00:17:34.109
Now, if you have an oven that can cook at a very low temp, or even seen toaster ovens that can do dehydrator temps, then you are set.

00:17:34.109 --> 00:17:35.153
Go for that.

00:17:35.153 --> 00:17:38.667
It is worth getting a dehydrator just to make these puppies.

00:17:38.667 --> 00:17:39.608
That's how good they are.

00:17:40.148 --> 00:17:40.869
They're a game changer.

00:17:40.869 --> 00:17:42.310
This recipe made me utter words.

00:17:42.310 --> 00:17:46.454
I never thought I would ever say I'm addicted to kale chips.

00:17:46.454 --> 00:17:47.776
I love them so much.

00:17:47.776 --> 00:17:49.537
They're amazing.

00:17:49.738 --> 00:17:53.300
You were saying that the other day, though I never thought I'd say this yeah.

00:17:53.820 --> 00:17:54.821
I'm addicted to these.

00:17:54.821 --> 00:18:00.984
It's the closest thing to a cheesy Dorito or something like that and you get all that crunch and all that flavor.

00:18:00.984 --> 00:18:05.856
We'll grab bowls of these that we've made and take them out to the beach or the park.

00:18:05.856 --> 00:18:07.451
They're a great on-the-go snack.

00:18:07.451 --> 00:18:10.253
And then flavorful flax crackers.

00:18:10.253 --> 00:18:21.134
For sides we featured classic coleslaw, fluffy instant pot quinoa, golden cornbread oh my goodness, it is so, so good.

00:18:21.134 --> 00:18:24.413
And then Instant Pot Beans and Potatoes.

00:18:24.413 --> 00:18:26.744
That is one of the quickest, easiest, most delicious meals.

00:18:26.744 --> 00:18:36.257
If you have something like a Costco or a place that you can just get large amounts of green beans, if you have a big family and a big Instant Pot, this one is fantastic.

00:18:36.257 --> 00:18:44.432
The kids are literally waiting in a line, bowl in hand, when I open my instant pot after I've made these Instant pot beans and potatoes.

00:18:44.432 --> 00:18:50.073
So it's green beans and potatoes, then mashed potatoes, which is our spin on mashed potatoes.

00:18:50.073 --> 00:18:53.066
They're creamy and delicious, pico de Gallo.

00:18:53.066 --> 00:19:00.834
And then we have the potluck perfect broccoli salad Such an incredible raw dish and the dressing that I share on this recipe.

00:19:01.385 --> 00:19:03.413
It should be in its own category as a dressing.

00:19:03.413 --> 00:19:07.327
People have taken this and used it on sandwiches and so many different things.

00:19:07.327 --> 00:19:10.414
It's smoky, it's got a little hint of sweetness.

00:19:10.414 --> 00:19:12.807
It really is delicious.

00:19:12.807 --> 00:19:14.413
It is next level delicious.

00:19:14.413 --> 00:19:20.112
And then we have Scrimptious Steak Fries and Southern Potato Salad.

00:19:20.313 --> 00:19:23.532
That is a favorite that has been taken to large gatherings.

00:19:23.532 --> 00:19:25.111
No one has been disappointed with it.

00:19:25.111 --> 00:19:28.855
People actually want to take the leftovers home with them.

00:19:28.994 --> 00:19:29.215
Yes.

00:19:29.484 --> 00:19:32.776
The non-vegan, non-plant-based friends said that's amazing.

00:19:32.776 --> 00:19:33.951
Can I take that with me?

00:19:34.857 --> 00:19:35.461
Absolutely.

00:19:35.461 --> 00:19:39.384
Yeah, not only have we had that happen, but our clients have had that happen.

00:19:39.384 --> 00:19:40.807
Listen to what Robin said.

00:19:40.807 --> 00:19:45.566
She said I absolutely love sharing this plant-based goodness with friends.

00:19:45.566 --> 00:19:51.778
Chexless party mix, southern potato salad and potluck perfect broccoli salad Yum.

00:19:51.778 --> 00:19:56.634
My non-plant-based friends loved everything and even wanted the leftovers.

00:19:56.634 --> 00:20:04.476
Then they texted me tonight saying how delicious it was and began asking questions about eating plant-based.

00:20:04.757 --> 00:20:05.981
This is the ripple effect.

00:20:05.981 --> 00:20:07.727
This is what Jared and I call the ripple effect.

00:20:07.727 --> 00:20:11.894
You start doing what helps you to heal optimally.

00:20:11.894 --> 00:20:20.076
You learn the way to do it in the way that tastes great, is quick and works with your busy schedule and that you absolutely love.

00:20:20.076 --> 00:20:34.707
People see it and they want what they see that you have, because they see you're not having to count calories and keep up with portions and all these miserable things that just don't work and, as a result, your life can change their life.

00:20:34.707 --> 00:20:36.851
And this is what we're all about.

00:20:36.851 --> 00:20:38.733
This is really the heart of what we do.

00:20:38.733 --> 00:20:44.084
It's helping you to heal so you can finally feel good and enjoy your life fully.

00:20:44.084 --> 00:20:49.701
Living out your mission, your calling, no matter what that is, be it at home.

00:20:49.701 --> 00:20:55.405
How you're going to serve others in your business, taking your business to the next level, whatever that is.

00:20:55.405 --> 00:21:00.200
Having these right recipes are key to getting started in it.

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:02.926
All Other recipes in the Thrive Cookbook bundle.

00:21:02.926 --> 00:21:05.673
For mains we have baked Asian cauliflower.

00:21:05.673 --> 00:21:09.708
Cheesy veggie chowder another Instant Pot winner.

00:21:09.708 --> 00:21:13.836
Chickpea pecan salad is wonderful as well.

00:21:13.836 --> 00:21:17.448
Cincinnati chili this is not your traditional chili.

00:21:17.448 --> 00:21:20.275
It has a different flavor and I absolutely love this one.

00:21:20.275 --> 00:21:21.817
It's just very different.

00:21:21.817 --> 00:21:24.374
I don't know how to describe it if you've never had Cincinnati chili.

00:21:24.374 --> 00:21:27.114
It has spices in it that are different and it's great.

00:21:27.114 --> 00:21:30.635
If you're just tired of the same old chili, you definitely have to try this one.

00:21:30.635 --> 00:21:35.605
Family favorite lasagna green bean casserole.

00:21:35.605 --> 00:21:38.432
Happy burgers quick and easy.

00:21:38.432 --> 00:21:41.789
I wrote this recipe when we had gone out to True Food.

00:21:41.789 --> 00:21:43.405
Jared had had a burger.

00:21:43.405 --> 00:21:46.165
I tasted it and it made me want a burger.

00:21:46.165 --> 00:21:48.211
But I didn't really want that one.

00:21:48.211 --> 00:21:49.486
It just wasn't what I wanted.

00:21:49.901 --> 00:21:59.270
That burger was beet based and you didn't like that beet flavor to it and it was good, but it's a little different and if you're not wanting that flavor, you won't like it.

00:21:59.619 --> 00:22:03.811
No, and I came home and whipped these up within 15 minutes after we left that restaurant.

00:22:03.811 --> 00:22:05.824
I actually came home and made the burger I wanted.

00:22:05.824 --> 00:22:10.673
It was so, so good, so quick and easy.

00:22:11.520 --> 00:22:18.105
And we've even taken that particular recipe, made the burgers and then either eaten it as a burger or sprinkled it on salad.

00:22:18.105 --> 00:22:23.069
You'll crumble it up, put it on salad, Big Mac salad you can make Big Mac salads with that using my Thousand Island dressing.

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:37.730
I think that one's in the original bundle, so you definitely want to pick up the original bundle as well, because you can combine different recipes like that, different dressings and sauces on some of these and with some of these additional recipes, and it is going to blow your mind Absolutely.

00:22:37.730 --> 00:22:40.326
So the Big Mac salad is a game changer.

00:22:40.326 --> 00:22:41.128
It will light you up.

00:22:41.128 --> 00:22:59.834
It will I mean, it will set you free because you won't have to feel like you've got to go through drive-thru to get your Big Mac fix and you will feel full after you eat a reasonable portion, unlike when you went and ate the Biggie meal and felt like you needed another Biggie meal because your body was still crying out that you were hungry, because it lacked the nutrients that it needed.

00:22:59.834 --> 00:23:02.721
So that is the happy burger Now.

00:23:03.262 --> 00:23:07.287
Hearty shepherdless pie Philly steak-ish topping.

00:23:07.287 --> 00:23:15.584
Before eating this way, philly cheesesteak was one of my favorite sandwiches, so this one was really important to me and you're going to love it.

00:23:15.584 --> 00:23:24.811
Pete zucchini this is hollowed out zucchini halves and we're going to show you how to stuff that and fill it and make it creamy, cheesy and delicious.

00:23:24.811 --> 00:23:28.748
Pulled carrot barbecue yes, you can make barbecue with carrots.

00:23:28.748 --> 00:23:31.252
Simple stovetop chili.

00:23:31.252 --> 00:23:37.929
This is a regular chili flavor, but quick and easy to prepare and filled with flavor.

00:23:37.929 --> 00:23:40.172
The best walnut taco meat.

00:23:40.172 --> 00:23:44.969
If you're looking for a meat replacement, this one right here lights us up.

00:23:44.969 --> 00:23:47.387
You can use it in so many different ways.

00:23:47.387 --> 00:23:52.788
Get inside Podcast Insider's experience and start asking each other how you use these recipes.

00:23:52.788 --> 00:23:54.404
It will change your life.

00:23:54.625 --> 00:23:55.308
It's very versatile.

00:23:55.308 --> 00:23:58.766
The title says taco, but we've used it in quesadillas and other.

00:23:59.066 --> 00:24:00.929
We've used it in sandwiches and paninis.

00:24:01.108 --> 00:24:01.329
Yeah.

00:24:01.830 --> 00:24:03.413
You can use it on taco salad.

00:24:03.413 --> 00:24:06.885
You can use it on so many different things in wraps.

00:24:06.885 --> 00:24:08.169
Think about Taco Bell.

00:24:08.169 --> 00:24:09.010
How they take.

00:24:09.010 --> 00:24:10.041
You've said this before.

00:24:10.041 --> 00:24:11.449
You know where I'm going.

00:24:11.769 --> 00:24:12.292
What am I going to say?

00:24:12.292 --> 00:24:14.903
Five different ingredients to make 20 different things out of it.

00:24:15.242 --> 00:24:18.411
Yes, and it's all different names, same five ingredients.

00:24:18.411 --> 00:24:19.601
You can do that.

00:24:19.601 --> 00:24:22.209
You've got to learn that skill with whole food, plant-based living.

00:24:22.209 --> 00:24:26.548
This is one thing I'm going to be teaching inside our upcoming program Power and Plants Academy.

00:24:26.548 --> 00:24:27.571
It's going to thrill you.

00:24:27.571 --> 00:24:28.701
You will love it.

00:24:28.701 --> 00:24:30.705
Next up, we have tofu nuggets.

00:24:30.705 --> 00:24:32.651
Whole wheat pizza crust.

00:24:32.651 --> 00:24:36.549
This is one of the only recipes in my cookbooks that is not gluten-free.

00:24:36.549 --> 00:24:44.611
You're welcome to use an all-purpose gluten-free flour substitute that works for you, but this one is light, fluffy and delicious.

00:24:44.611 --> 00:24:47.203
And then zesty lasagna soup.

00:24:47.986 --> 00:24:48.708
Okay, hold on.

00:24:48.708 --> 00:24:50.634
You glossed over the tofu nuggets.

00:24:50.634 --> 00:24:53.801
I have to highlight something about the tofu nuggets.

00:24:53.801 --> 00:24:59.252
They taste very similar to the version that we see at a fast food restaurant.

00:24:59.252 --> 00:25:02.345
I'm not going to say the name, but it's based upon chicken.

00:25:02.345 --> 00:25:05.111
That is their main offering.

00:25:05.111 --> 00:25:10.150
They don't do burgers and they're close and it tastes a lot like nuggets found at said place.

00:25:10.269 --> 00:25:11.220
I'm just gonna leave it at that.

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:13.786
And it was an accidental finding.

00:25:13.786 --> 00:25:18.340
But it was blissful because in the day we did enjoy that flavor.

00:25:18.340 --> 00:25:23.292
But now we enjoy it so much more because we feel good and we're fueling our body.

00:25:23.353 --> 00:25:27.971
Well, Don't you find it bizarre that they're not breaded and yet they still taste like those nuggets?

00:25:27.971 --> 00:25:29.545
It really is amazing.

00:25:29.545 --> 00:25:30.729
I don't know how that happens.

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:31.904
It's bizarrely good.

00:25:31.904 --> 00:25:34.930
It was just one of those divine discoveries.

00:25:34.930 --> 00:25:36.686
I don't know how else to describe it.

00:25:39.259 --> 00:25:40.002
Listen as we read through this.

00:25:40.002 --> 00:25:48.297
It's all we can do holding ourself back because we don't want this to be a five hour episode to not share with you the different ways that you can use these recipes to make additional recipes.

00:25:48.297 --> 00:25:54.210
This is what I'm going to be diving into a lot more of inside Power on Plants Academy.

00:25:54.210 --> 00:26:01.686
I'm going to take it and show you ways to repurpose recipes, repurpose ingredients, repurpose ideas.

00:26:01.686 --> 00:26:09.409
This is where things are going to start to get amazing for you, because you're going to have endless things that you can eat.

00:26:09.409 --> 00:26:17.122
Not only will you not be limited, you are going to have these resources that you never knew.

00:26:17.221 --> 00:26:31.393
You had recipes that you can make, things you can come up with, and I'm going to show you how to as our client Carrie likes to say, shop from my fridge and pantry, where you can go in there and look inside your pantry and your fridge and see things.

00:26:31.393 --> 00:26:48.372
And all of a sudden, you'll just start getting these ideas popping into your head of how you can use previous recipes and put them together, how you can come up with new recipes with what you have on hand, without standing there and staring into the deep recesses of your pantry not knowing an option that you can make for dinner.

00:26:48.372 --> 00:26:50.625
I used to do that and it would frustrate me so badly.

00:26:50.625 --> 00:26:52.368
That just doesn't happen anymore.

00:26:52.368 --> 00:26:54.923
You gain so much freedom living this way.

00:26:55.103 --> 00:27:00.114
And if those recipes you've already read out weren't enough, there's more.

00:27:00.114 --> 00:27:03.943
We go into our sauces In this cookbook.

00:27:03.943 --> 00:27:05.368
We have balsamic glaze.

00:27:05.368 --> 00:27:08.127
That one is just tons of flavor.

00:27:08.127 --> 00:27:10.425
Super easy, but tons of flavor.

00:27:10.425 --> 00:27:14.047
Caesar dressing, Chick no way sauce.

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:16.586
Flashback to the same said restaurant.

00:27:17.108 --> 00:27:17.611
Exactly.

00:27:18.141 --> 00:27:22.231
If you like spending time there eating those things you're going to love, dipping your fries in this one.

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:37.846
That's all I have to say about that Dipping your tofu nuggets in the Chick-No-Way sauce, Garlic, cashew cream, great pan gravy oh my goodness, Back when we first got married we'd make the chip beef on toast Tastes exactly like that.

00:27:37.846 --> 00:27:42.151
There's lemony tahini dressing and yum yum sauce.

00:27:42.151 --> 00:27:46.570
Under beverages we have cafe coffee creamer.

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:51.132
That's a big one, because the first thing you want to know is what do I put for creamer in my coffee?

00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:56.633
That is probably a big area where people have a dairy product that they just don't want to get rid of.

00:27:56.633 --> 00:28:00.682
For you tea lovers, we have Cozy Chai Tea Latte.

00:28:00.682 --> 00:28:03.874
That's a nice one, especially as the weather gets a little cooler.

00:28:03.874 --> 00:28:09.971
It just has tons of that chai flavor and if you love chai, that's a wonderful one, Very quick and simple to make.

00:28:09.971 --> 00:28:13.061
Jared's after me, Jared's favorite lemonade.

00:28:13.061 --> 00:28:20.406
Now, I had an inspiration for this recipe, but I just I love it so much that Anita said I'm going to stick your name on it.

00:28:20.406 --> 00:28:22.087
It's like all right, I'll take it, I'll claim it.

00:28:22.087 --> 00:28:24.190
Homestyle hot cocoa.

00:28:24.190 --> 00:28:25.431
That's another one.

00:28:25.431 --> 00:28:34.636
When, especially as the seasons get cooler, if you're thinking about recipes that utilize dairy and you think, oh, but I'm going to miss these favorites, Surprise, no, you're not.

00:28:34.636 --> 00:28:36.621
And then nog.

00:28:36.621 --> 00:28:41.071
We would say eggnog, but since there's no egg, we just shortened it to just nog.

00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:42.303
It's eggless nog.

00:28:42.303 --> 00:28:45.672
But when I say eggless, it's just nog, it's so good, just nog.

00:28:46.201 --> 00:28:50.996
Our oldest son absolutely loves this one, and the thing is is we can have it year-round.

00:28:51.419 --> 00:28:53.827
Right, we don't have to wait for the Christmas season, right.

00:28:53.847 --> 00:28:54.250
Exactly.

00:28:54.250 --> 00:29:01.676
If you go the traditional route, you have to wait for the around Thanksgiving when it becomes available, and then, shortly after December, boom, it's gone.

00:29:01.676 --> 00:29:09.126
Well, this you can enjoy all year long, although we tend to remember it when the seasons get cooler, so that's mainly when we enjoy it.

00:29:09.126 --> 00:29:21.536
Now, desserts I have so many patients where, when I mention this, they think, oh, but I'm not going to be able to have my sweet things, and they just don't realize that there are ways you can do this and be healthy and be plant-based.

00:29:21.536 --> 00:29:30.669
Now, you're not going to want a dessert for every meal, but to still be able to have those favorites that you enjoy from time to time is important, and that is why we develop these recipes.

00:29:30.669 --> 00:29:33.930
Now, under dessert, we have Best Cottie, our oldest daughter.

00:29:33.930 --> 00:29:35.846
She actually came up with that recipe.

00:29:36.188 --> 00:29:43.750
It's genius, it's genius and it's amazing If you want something to take to a tea or some type of event like that.

00:29:43.750 --> 00:29:53.027
It's amazing Chewy ginger cookies, cocoa delights, chocolate cheesecake pie You're making me hungry.

00:29:53.126 --> 00:29:54.181
I know that was one that we saw.

00:29:54.201 --> 00:29:55.122
a lot of smiles when we developed that recipe.

00:29:55.122 --> 00:29:58.105
That was one that we saw a lot of smiles when we developed that recipe.

00:29:58.105 --> 00:30:05.935
