00:00:00.341 --> 00:00:10.702
Well, hey there, sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast, where Jaren and I love to help purpose-driven Christian women like you learn how to optimize your number one asset yourself.

00:00:10.702 --> 00:00:21.762
This is the podcast for breaking free from the health barriers that have held you back for far too long, so you can finally feel great and actively live your God-given purpose.

00:00:21.762 --> 00:00:22.884
How do we do that?

00:00:22.884 --> 00:00:33.784
By showing you how to make whole plant food simple, exciting and delicious, so that whole food, plant-based eating, finally becomes sustainable and you have a lifestyle you love.

00:00:33.784 --> 00:00:37.313
And then there's no dreaming of cheat days anymore.

00:00:37.313 --> 00:00:44.142
That is what we're all about, and today we're going to share with you what we eat in a day fall edition.

00:00:44.142 --> 00:00:50.307
And don't worry if it's not fall, you're still going to love this because, insiderscape we eat these things all year round.

00:00:50.307 --> 00:00:54.011
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:54.011 --> 00:00:59.372
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:59.372 --> 00:01:04.772
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:01:04.772 --> 00:01:13.006
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:01:13.006 --> 00:01:13.789
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel.

00:01:13.808 --> 00:01:18.725
Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:01:18.725 --> 00:01:30.921
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 to traditional routes.

00:01:30.921 --> 00:01:38.165
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:38.165 --> 00:01:41.933
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods, and it's not hard.

00:01:41.933 --> 00:01:47.105
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:47.105 --> 00:01:55.349
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.

00:01:55.349 --> 00:02:00.626
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:02:02.209 --> 00:02:20.352
As we go into the cooler season here started as we go into the cooler season here, I want to paint a picture for you, because right now in our studio aka bedroom, I'm looking out our back window and I see trees and I see the light just kind of sprinkling through the wind blowing, some of the leaves even starting to fall.

00:02:20.352 --> 00:02:22.164
We've had our windows open.

00:02:22.164 --> 00:02:31.381
There's a nice cool breeze blowing through and that can only mean one thing it means it's fall and that means it's time to talk about our fall whole food favorites.

00:02:31.822 --> 00:02:32.764
That light us up.

00:02:33.044 --> 00:02:36.592
That light us up, tickle our taste buds and make us happy.

00:02:36.832 --> 00:02:41.411
You know, if you've been around here long enough, that we do not eat food that does not light us up.

00:02:41.411 --> 00:02:41.731
Why?

00:02:41.731 --> 00:02:49.052
Because if you eat food that doesn't light you up and make you happy and excited to eat it, you will never be able to stick with this for a lifetime.

00:02:49.052 --> 00:02:52.347
This is why I'm always talking about find your new favorites.

00:02:52.347 --> 00:02:59.070
Today, we're sharing with you some of our fall favorite dishes, but in reality, we eat these things all year long.

00:02:59.070 --> 00:03:01.042
We just tend to think of them more in the fall.

00:03:01.042 --> 00:03:04.288
These are the things that just pop into my mind when I think who is fall time?

00:03:04.288 --> 00:03:10.105
I want something warm, I want something cozy, something delicious, something that speaks of this time of year.

00:03:10.567 --> 00:03:22.467
But I would say, historically, the things that we eat this time of year 200, 300 years ago would have only been available in fall Some of the gourd-type vegetables like pumpkin and butternut squash and things of that nature.

00:03:22.467 --> 00:03:29.927
But now, because of refrigeration and being able to ship food to the other half of the world, then we're able to enjoy these things all year long.

00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.210
And while that's, true, and I totally agree with you.

00:03:33.210 --> 00:03:38.348
Think about how much better things taste when you can get them when they're in season.

00:03:38.348 --> 00:03:44.030
So you're going to get ideas today for dishes that you can eat throughout the entire year.

00:03:44.030 --> 00:03:51.231
This isn't just a fall episode, but do remember that the flavor is probably going to be through the roof.

00:03:51.231 --> 00:03:54.490
The first thing I want to talk about is pomegranate.

00:03:54.939 --> 00:04:07.284
We're getting into pomegranate season and, while this isn't a recipe, I'm just going to tell you, if you have not tried pomegranate before, find the way to open that puppy up, get the pomegranate seeds out.

00:04:07.284 --> 00:04:20.788
If you don't know how and you think, look, I just need somebody to show me, come inside our free group Podcast Insiders Experience and say look, anita, you said on the podcast you'd show us how to open up a pomegranate and get the seeds out the easy way so that we can enjoy it.

00:04:20.788 --> 00:04:22.689
Because I've never opened a pomegranate before.

00:04:22.689 --> 00:04:23.771
I don't know how to do that.

00:04:23.771 --> 00:04:30.745
It's not hard, it is so simple, and you'll be wondering why in the world you have never tried this delicious fruit before.

00:04:30.745 --> 00:04:36.990
It's one of my favorites, it's so good and it's fun, because it's something different that a lot of you probably don't eat.

00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:48.531
It's a unique flavor that you can only get from pomegranate during that time of year and your technique for getting the seeds out is very easy, but it's I hate to throw around the term game-changing.

00:04:48.531 --> 00:04:53.475
But for this it is because the alternative it either takes longer or you get all of that.

00:04:53.475 --> 00:04:53.956
I don't know.

00:04:53.956 --> 00:05:01.620
Would you call it pith, those little pieces between the little fruits inside the pomegranate.

00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:04.603
You get a ton of that whenever you use just a regular method of just trying to open it up and dig that stuff out.

00:05:04.603 --> 00:05:10.189
That whenever you use just a regular method of just trying to open it up and dig that stuff out, whereas this other method it's so simple and it makes it really a no-brainer.

00:05:10.189 --> 00:05:19.697
When you're walking around the produce section and you see those dark red balls of goodness, don't think I don't know what to do with that, think I have got to get me some of that and enjoy it.

00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.033
Right, because you want to learn how to do these things that are so simple and quick.

00:05:26.033 --> 00:05:35.608
It literally will take you minutes to do this, and once you do, you'll wonder why you haven't done it before or why you have waited so long in between enjoying these delicious fruits.

00:05:35.608 --> 00:05:37.887
The only time we wait is when they're not in season.

00:05:37.887 --> 00:05:40.509
They're absolutely fantastic.

00:05:40.509 --> 00:05:45.531
So look for pomegranates, get some in your shopping cart and bring them home.

00:05:45.531 --> 00:05:46.233
They're wonderful.

00:05:46.233 --> 00:05:52.110
And then come into Pi, our free group at poweronplantscom, forward, slash P-I-E and share.

00:05:52.110 --> 00:05:53.291
I've never tried it before.

00:05:53.291 --> 00:05:54.654
You got to show me how.

00:05:54.654 --> 00:06:11.105
But when you ask that you have to show me a picture of the pomegranate you bought that you're waiting for me to show you how to make, because I don't want to show you how if you're not buying the pomegranate.

00:06:11.105 --> 00:06:12.170
Right, we gotta have proof, we gotta have the proof.

00:06:12.170 --> 00:06:12.490
So that's great.

00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:13.192
You're going to absolutely love it.

00:06:13.213 --> 00:06:13.995
And then let's talk about another thing.

00:06:13.995 --> 00:06:15.480
It's just one of my absolute favorite things in the fall.

00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:28.345
I can't say that I eat these every day all year long, like I know some people in our family do, but it's apples, specifically Fuji, and honey sweet apples, because an apple has to be crisp to me and a little bit sweet.

00:06:28.345 --> 00:06:31.091
I do not like biting into a mealy apple.

00:06:31.091 --> 00:06:34.024
It's just one of those things that rubs me the wrong way.

00:06:34.024 --> 00:06:35.208
Are you like that too?

00:06:35.208 --> 00:06:35.749
Do you get it?

00:06:35.749 --> 00:06:40.406
I know it's awful, right, something about fall and the apples.

00:06:40.406 --> 00:06:44.867
I know it's because they're in season, obviously, but they just taste so much better.

00:06:44.867 --> 00:06:51.521
Shouldn't surprise us, but it's the truth.

00:06:51.521 --> 00:06:54.189
You can know the facts, but just bite into the apple and prove it to yourself again.

00:06:54.189 --> 00:06:55.050
If it's fall time, do this for yourself.

00:06:55.050 --> 00:06:55.994
They are delicious.

00:06:55.994 --> 00:06:59.043
We love dipping them in our pot brownie batter hummus.

00:06:59.043 --> 00:07:00.704
It's in one of our cookbook bundles.

00:07:00.704 --> 00:07:02.107
I think it's in the original right.

00:07:02.247 --> 00:07:03.588
Yes, that one's in our original.

00:07:04.028 --> 00:07:06.992
Oh, it is so delicious, you do not want to miss this.

00:07:06.992 --> 00:07:11.562
I've even taken apple slices, slice them with my corer and slicer.

00:07:11.562 --> 00:07:13.908
They're so great to use, it makes it so quick.

00:07:13.908 --> 00:07:21.588
And then you just put some of this brownie batter hummus from the Power and Plants Cookbook on there and you can boil a little bit of maple syrup.

00:07:21.588 --> 00:07:25.293
Just put it in the bottom of a pan, just stand with it, don't leave it, or it will burn.

00:07:25.293 --> 00:07:27.035
It will turn into caramel for you.

00:07:27.035 --> 00:07:29.579
You drizzle that over the apple.

00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:31.644
You can leave that step out if you want to.

00:07:31.644 --> 00:07:33.930
If you're not eating any sugar at all, it's perfectly fine.

00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:41.529
But if you just want a little treat, just a little bit of caramel from that maple syrup and then fresh pecans I love them, roasted.

00:07:41.529 --> 00:07:45.555
On this it is like the apples that you used to get at the fair.

00:07:45.555 --> 00:07:52.625
If you ever went to the fair and you had the big apples on the stick that were caramel coated with the pecans, oh my goodness.

00:07:52.625 --> 00:07:58.300
And the chocolate, the chocolate, I'm telling you, okay, this is the big key.

00:07:58.901 --> 00:08:07.124
You've got to be around people who know how to do what you want to learn to do, and if you want to learn how to eat whole plant foods.

00:08:07.124 --> 00:08:14.904
It is absolutely essential that you surround yourself with the people that are doing what you want to do.

00:08:14.904 --> 00:08:25.310
They've already been there, they've already discovered the new favorites, they're still discovering new favorites they're going to share with you and they've learned all the tips and tricks for making it quick, simple and delicious.

00:08:25.310 --> 00:08:34.029
This is why, after running our Power on Plant Society membership for years now, we've worked with women and learned what questions do you have?

00:08:34.029 --> 00:08:35.205
What do you need to know?

00:08:35.205 --> 00:08:38.429
What is going to help you get the results you're after?

00:08:38.429 --> 00:08:44.229
After seeing you do this and get results, and working with you, we now know the formula.

00:08:44.229 --> 00:08:54.085
We have a five-step formula that we're going to walk you through inside of our upcoming course, and it's based on real results that we've seen and we know this works.

00:08:54.085 --> 00:08:54.407
Why?

00:08:54.407 --> 00:08:57.634
Because you've got to absolutely have the right mindset.

00:08:57.634 --> 00:09:03.539
You've got to be able to get rid of the myths, the lies enemies told you and replace those things with truth.

00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:12.423
This is super important because otherwise you're going to stay stuck thinking you're going to be able to take your old methods into doing this thing and you just need a couple of recipes.

00:09:12.423 --> 00:09:15.215
That's all you need, and that couldn't be any further from the truth.

00:09:15.716 --> 00:09:17.881
It's not about just gaining some new recipes.

00:09:17.881 --> 00:09:32.333
That's why so many people try to do this and they quote keep falling off the plant-based wagon they can't make it sustainable and why one of our friends just wrote me and said look, the problem was I was getting great results but I kept falling off the wagon.

00:09:32.333 --> 00:09:34.759
I kept not being able to make this stick.

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.855
I couldn't keep it up because it wasn't exciting to me.

00:09:38.855 --> 00:09:40.940
And why was it not exciting for her?

00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:43.210
Because it's not simple to do.

00:09:43.210 --> 00:09:50.277
The ingredients lists are way too long, it's too complicated, it doesn't taste good or it's too time consuming.

00:09:50.798 --> 00:09:59.471
If you can get it to where it's simple, quick and not time consuming and you know how to set up your environment for success and that's the people, places and things in your environment, not just the places.

00:09:59.471 --> 00:10:04.892
And you can first start by getting your mindset right, the lies are unveiled and you replace that with truth.

00:10:04.892 --> 00:10:10.823
You are going to be in the place where you do make this sustainable because you love it.

00:10:10.823 --> 00:10:18.677
You find it exciting and enjoyable, and part of the ways of doing this is learning these simple things, like the apple trick I just shared with you.

00:10:18.677 --> 00:10:20.807
This isn't even a quote recipe.

00:10:20.807 --> 00:10:23.054
I could write it down as a recipe and put it in the cookbook.

00:10:23.515 --> 00:10:30.201
But you want to be around somebody who can show you their unrecipes, the ways they take foods and upgrade them in a way that you love.

00:10:30.201 --> 00:10:32.134
That gives you that extra special treat.

00:10:32.134 --> 00:10:35.711
So you're not dreaming about the apples you used to get at the fall carnival.

00:10:35.711 --> 00:10:44.499
You can make your own in something like 10 minutes 15 minutes at max, and that's making the hummus and putting it on there at the same time.

00:10:44.499 --> 00:10:46.412
It just doesn't have to take long.

00:10:46.412 --> 00:10:50.450
Somebody who can say look, I did it this way, but you could leave off the caramel sauce.

00:10:50.450 --> 00:10:58.417
If you're not eating the sugar and you really want to just go all in on that whole plant foods and get rid of all the sugar, maple syrup is one of the better options.

00:10:58.417 --> 00:11:04.293
But if you're wanting to do that, you need somebody who can show you those strategies and things and ways to change things up.

00:11:04.293 --> 00:11:11.701
But we don't want you to miss out on the joy, the excitement of eating this way, because that is what makes it sustainable.

00:11:12.682 --> 00:11:14.804
I have a car analogy here, hard to believe.

00:11:14.804 --> 00:11:29.282
Maybe If you need to have a repair done to your car, would you rather take it to a mechanic who, for a period of time, hung out with other mechanics that knew more than he did, taught him all their tricks, or a mechanic who saw a few videos on YouTube.

00:11:29.282 --> 00:11:39.355
I think I'd rather take my car to the mechanic that hung out with others that knew more, taught them all they knew, the ins and outs, the quick ways to get things done and get it done correctly.

00:11:39.355 --> 00:11:40.673
I love your car analogies.

00:11:41.034 --> 00:11:41.655
That was a good one.

00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:43.041
It just hit me.

00:11:43.041 --> 00:11:45.034
Now for the Apple thing.

00:11:45.034 --> 00:11:50.148
Another little tip here we get stuck in a rut where we like what we like Like.

00:11:50.148 --> 00:11:51.913
Our favorite apple is Fuji.

00:11:51.913 --> 00:11:55.687
You may have your favorite as well, but branch out.

00:11:55.687 --> 00:11:57.230
There are tons of different varieties.

00:11:57.230 --> 00:11:59.957
Now, not all stores have a bunch of different varieties.

00:11:59.957 --> 00:12:03.835
Your local supermarket may have something different than maybe like a Whole Foods.

00:12:03.835 --> 00:12:11.673
But if you see one, buy a couple of them and try them out and see, because you may be thinking, oh, I love Fuji, then nothing could be better than a Fuji.

00:12:11.673 --> 00:12:14.541
And then you try something down the line.

00:12:14.541 --> 00:12:20.562
You think, oh, I could have been enjoying this other kind of apple all this time, and not just the Fuji.

00:12:20.562 --> 00:12:23.335
I could have been diversifying my flavors.

00:12:23.335 --> 00:12:25.880
So branch out, just experiment.

00:12:25.880 --> 00:12:33.537
You don't have to buy 20 pounds, which we do from time to time because there's so many of us and we eat a lot of them, but buy one or two, just try it out and see.

00:12:33.577 --> 00:12:34.139
See what you think.

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:36.472
Like I've been into the green apples lately.

00:12:36.472 --> 00:12:43.764
I like that with that un-recipe I just gave you because they're not as sweet but they're still crispy, juicy and delicious.

00:12:43.764 --> 00:12:51.557
So you're putting the slightly sweet brownie batter hummus on there and then if you did put the caramel sauce, that would also be sweet.

00:12:51.557 --> 00:12:54.000
So that's a great one to use for that and recipe.

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.643
It's really tasty.

00:12:55.682 --> 00:12:58.105
Plus you add that little bit of tartness from the green apples.

00:12:58.806 --> 00:13:01.397
But with fall apples you really don't have to add anything to them.

00:13:01.397 --> 00:13:04.315
I mean, they really are just that good and simple and quick.

00:13:04.315 --> 00:13:05.815
But learn the joy.

00:13:05.815 --> 00:13:13.485
Find the ways to make it quick to slice them Like we know ways to slice them and core them and then take them and chop them into equal-sized pieces.

00:13:13.485 --> 00:13:14.765
It's just so quick.

00:13:14.765 --> 00:13:18.899
It'll make your mind spin and then we're throwing them in big bowls of our fall salads.

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:20.456
That's my next thing fall salads.

00:13:20.456 --> 00:13:33.379
So if you know how to make these things quick and easy, it'll blow your mind that people ever said this is difficult or boring, or boring or boring, but they just didn't know, they just don't know.

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:34.634
And when you don't know, you don't know.

00:13:34.634 --> 00:13:38.995
But once you do, you can do it and find the joy in it, and then you're set for life.

00:13:39.076 --> 00:13:39.899
There's no stopping you.

00:13:40.910 --> 00:13:48.856
So learn those tips and tricks of how to slice it up and then how to dice them up into these great little dice chunks in about 2.2 seconds and I'm talking.

00:13:48.856 --> 00:13:49.899
That's a huge.

00:13:49.899 --> 00:14:09.282
We use this honking big stainless steel bowl it's a big like a restaurant size one for the six of us and we pour one of the huge things of mixed greens from Whole Foods or some other place that has the red leaf lettuces and the spinach and the chard and the kale, all the different things mixed in.

00:14:09.282 --> 00:14:20.721
And then I buy a big thing of arugula because we love arugula, and then you get the apples on there and we love putting broccoli on it, or cauliflower, and again pecans or walnuts.

00:14:20.721 --> 00:14:21.823
We love that for the fall.

00:14:22.309 --> 00:14:25.236
But then our favorite dressing is in our cookbook.

00:14:25.236 --> 00:14:32.238
It's actually not listed as a separate dressing, but it is in the Thrive Cookbook under the Potluck Perfect Broccoli Salad.

00:14:32.238 --> 00:14:33.061
Right, Correct?

00:14:33.061 --> 00:14:36.351
Yeah, so look under the Potluck Perfect Broccoli Salad.

00:14:36.351 --> 00:14:38.077
If you don't have the Thrive Cookbook, you need it.

00:14:38.077 --> 00:14:38.880
Just get it now.

00:14:38.880 --> 00:14:41.711
It's going to change things for you in amazing ways.

00:14:41.711 --> 00:14:42.511
It will blow your mind.

00:14:42.511 --> 00:14:49.638
If you find it hard to believe, just go to poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook and do nothing but read the testimonials.

00:14:50.217 --> 00:14:50.818
Get it now.

00:14:50.818 --> 00:14:51.719
Thank us later.

00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.501
These are the tried and true family favorites.

00:14:54.501 --> 00:14:57.224
If you want to know what we eat in today, it's what we eat in today.

00:14:57.224 --> 00:15:01.886
We go back to it time and time again and I'm in the process of creating the third cookbook now.

00:15:01.886 --> 00:15:07.616
Those recipes are in process of being created and we release those to the Power on Plants Society members.

00:15:07.616 --> 00:15:10.342
That society is now closed.

00:15:10.342 --> 00:15:17.173
The membership it is going to turn into the alumni group.

00:15:17.173 --> 00:15:21.082
So the women that are in that are going to get to transition over to our alumni group once they go through the upcoming course.

00:15:21.082 --> 00:15:23.255
So they'll stay in the membership until then.

00:15:23.596 --> 00:15:27.075
So I want to tell you all, if you're wondering, where in the world did Power and Plant Society go?

00:15:27.075 --> 00:15:30.903
It is in existence and we're working with members in there right now.

00:15:30.903 --> 00:15:34.653
As a matter of fact, they just got our brand new recipe for fried chicken nuggets y'all.

00:15:34.653 --> 00:15:38.241
When you get a hold of that, it is going to blow your mind and be a game changer.

00:15:38.241 --> 00:15:41.604
But I'm telling you this so you understand, kind of, how things are set up.

00:15:41.604 --> 00:15:45.114
Now We've got the cookbook bundles that you can get and get started right away.

00:15:45.114 --> 00:15:53.701
You have 300 free episodes here of things that you can do that are simple and easy Just pick one thing, just one little thing, and get started.

00:15:53.701 --> 00:15:56.198
You will not believe how this is going to change your life.

00:15:56.429 --> 00:16:07.803
So Power and Plant Society is changing to the alumni membership that will only be available to you after you've gone through the course that is coming out the 1st of 2025.

00:16:07.803 --> 00:16:10.057
Why have we set it up this way now?

00:16:10.057 --> 00:16:20.418
That if you cannot access coaching from us until you come through the course with us and then you have the option of joining, and at that point you can join alumni.

00:16:20.418 --> 00:16:21.575
Why do we set it up like that?

00:16:21.575 --> 00:16:36.842
Because what we found in working with so many of you and getting results is that there is a step-by-step fashion that when you go through this, it speeds your time to getting success and it helps you to maintain the success you have.

00:16:36.842 --> 00:16:40.899
So we want everybody to come in with that same foundation.

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:48.596
You're all going to come in with similar things from the podcast, because we've shared so much with you here and you should already be gaining momentum.

00:16:48.596 --> 00:16:49.739
You shouldn't have to wait.

00:16:49.739 --> 00:16:56.893
Don't wait until you come into the course to start gaining momentum in your plant-based journey and getting your health back.

00:16:56.893 --> 00:16:58.515
You can start right now.

00:16:58.576 --> 00:17:09.944
We've shared things with you here to get you started specific strategies, not just on the why like a lot of business people do, but the actual how, because we want you to get results.

00:17:09.944 --> 00:17:25.619
Our heart is for you to succeed so that you can go out there and live your God-given purpose, whether that is homeschooling your children or building a business, or growing your current business to the next level, or just being able to enjoy yourself and travel to all these amazing places.

00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:30.931
Whatever that is, what we know is there is a system that will bring you consistent results.

00:17:30.931 --> 00:17:32.734
It's now a proven system.

00:17:32.734 --> 00:17:37.064
It works time and time again and it has to be done in order.

00:17:37.064 --> 00:17:43.998
That's why we call it a system Step one, step two, step three, step four, step five and that is what we're going to be taking you through.

00:17:43.998 --> 00:17:47.451
So that's not difficult, it's not overwhelming, but it's enjoyable.

00:17:47.451 --> 00:18:00.315
You can see me get into the kitchen and cook some of the things and explain to you what we're eating and why we do it this way, and the ways we save time and the ways we save money, all of these different things that make it so easy and so enjoyable.

00:18:00.655 --> 00:18:05.553
So all that to say, we wanted to share that with you, because we're getting questions now on?

00:18:05.553 --> 00:18:06.695
Where's the membership?

00:18:06.695 --> 00:18:07.617
When's it going to open?

00:18:07.617 --> 00:18:08.279
I'm just waiting.

00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:09.221
I can't wait for it to open.

00:18:09.221 --> 00:18:16.675
Power on Plants Society membership is not going to be opening anymore, but you will have a chance to get coaching with us and it's going to be amazing.

00:18:16.675 --> 00:18:18.849
This is life-changing.

00:18:18.849 --> 00:18:24.202
So the next thing that's coming out for you is Power on Plants Accelerator.

00:18:24.202 --> 00:18:25.191
That's the program.

00:18:25.211 --> 00:18:27.013
I just explained where we're going to be walking.

00:18:27.013 --> 00:18:31.842
You step by step, week by week, dripping out the content so you don't get overwhelmed.

00:18:31.842 --> 00:18:33.964
You don't have to be there live.

00:18:33.964 --> 00:18:36.557
It's going to be recorded, there's no worries about that.

00:18:36.557 --> 00:18:43.411
But once you go through that and you have the solid foundation and you're getting amazing results, we can help you keep that momentum.

00:18:43.411 --> 00:18:45.032
Keep being there to answer your questions.

00:18:45.032 --> 00:18:51.784
You'll be getting all my brand new recipes hot off the presses, more in the kitchens, where I go in there and cook and show you what to do.

00:18:51.784 --> 00:19:06.116
It's just going to be an amazing mastermind of purpose-driven women who want to eat the most exciting way imaginable so you can continue it for life, finally feel great and fully live your God-given purpose.

00:19:06.116 --> 00:19:09.001
Now, sweet potatoes.

00:19:09.001 --> 00:19:11.184
Don't you just love sweet potatoes?

00:19:11.184 --> 00:19:12.797
This is the best time of the year.

00:19:12.797 --> 00:19:14.915
What do you love about sweet potatoes?

00:19:14.915 --> 00:19:17.375
When you think sweet potato, what do you think?

00:19:17.549 --> 00:19:29.509
Well, first I think fall, Then I think cooking them plain, and then we have some recipes where we'll do things like put some beans, so a little probably unconventional from what most people think.

00:19:29.509 --> 00:19:36.946
Another thing, of course we've got Thanksgiving coming around the corner not too too far and think sweet potato casserole.

00:19:37.901 --> 00:19:39.066
That's a nice one.

00:19:39.066 --> 00:19:42.009
Yeah, that's a recipe I haven't written yet, but we make it.

00:19:42.009 --> 00:19:43.425
I've got so much.

00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:47.625
Too many ideas swirling around, and that genius of hers.

00:19:48.067 --> 00:19:50.374
I have so many recipes coming your way.

00:19:50.374 --> 00:19:53.321
It is just going to keep getting better and better.

00:19:53.321 --> 00:19:59.243
So the sweet potatoes One of my favorite ways is how we had them for lunch today, Leftover after we had baked them.

00:19:59.243 --> 00:20:08.505
So yesterday we had them baked and we all put our favorite things on, like black beans and cilantro and salsa and tahini.

00:20:08.505 --> 00:20:12.731
I love the roasted tahini from Whole Foods 365 brand.

00:20:12.731 --> 00:20:19.151
It's good, it's reasonably priced and it only has one ingredient in it and that's exactly what you need.

00:20:19.151 --> 00:20:23.788
It's so good so I'll drizzle just a light drizzle of that on there.

00:20:23.807 --> 00:20:26.913
We're going to be talking about nut butters inside the course.

00:20:26.913 --> 00:20:29.027
They're not the devil they've been made out to be.

00:20:29.027 --> 00:20:36.441
Even in the plant-based space, there are some fears and lies that circulate that are just not true, and we're going to bust those myths Now.

00:20:36.441 --> 00:20:39.349
The sweet potatoes eaten this way I just love them.

00:20:39.349 --> 00:20:45.500
But say you heard that recipe and but say you just heard me share that recipe and you think I do not like cilantro.

00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:49.951
We have one child who does not like cilantro Only one, but she does not like it.

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:51.803
She's not a fan, no.

00:20:52.044 --> 00:20:53.186
So she'll just leave it off.

00:20:53.186 --> 00:20:56.742
She might make it the same exact way that I just said, but leave it off.

00:20:57.084 --> 00:20:59.931
Or you could maybe replace a little bit of parsley there you could.

00:20:59.931 --> 00:21:03.267
So you're still getting that little sprinkle of green plant on it.

00:21:03.667 --> 00:21:05.111
Yum, so good.

00:21:05.111 --> 00:21:06.903
Or you could change up the beans.

00:21:06.903 --> 00:21:14.288
We left them in their skin, we peeled them today, sliced them in long strips and within five minutes we had homemade sushi.

00:21:14.288 --> 00:21:16.933
Our son had made some rice we had left over.

00:21:16.933 --> 00:21:18.142
We heat the rice up.

00:21:18.142 --> 00:21:21.028
You just put a little rice over your sushi.

00:21:21.028 --> 00:21:24.846
Sometimes I don't even put rice, I'll just fill it with the veggies.

00:21:24.846 --> 00:21:28.326
It's so delicious you can eat it like a roll-up.

00:21:28.326 --> 00:21:30.270
We're giving you way too many ideas.

00:21:30.270 --> 00:21:33.087
I'm just saying just pick one, just pick one idea.

00:21:33.087 --> 00:21:36.500
These are some of the fall favorites that we absolutely love.

00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:40.650
Think of things you've enjoyed in the past that maybe aren't whole food plant-based.

00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:42.053
Is there a way to switch that up?

00:21:42.053 --> 00:21:44.638
I bet there is, probably.

00:21:44.638 --> 00:21:47.165
Yeah, I can take most any recipe and show you how to do that.

00:21:47.165 --> 00:21:48.950
That's one thing I love doing.

00:21:48.950 --> 00:21:52.251
We're going to be brainstorming more of that inside alumni as we go.

00:21:52.251 --> 00:21:54.740
But try sweet potato sushi if you've never tried it before.

00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:56.262
You don't have to be a sushi master.

00:21:56.262 --> 00:21:57.765
You don't have to know how to roll it up.

00:21:57.765 --> 00:22:00.528
Just put it on the Nori sheet and roll it.

00:22:00.528 --> 00:22:03.893
Wet it a little so it sticks to itself, and roll it.

00:22:03.893 --> 00:22:05.895
It's not hard, you can do it.

00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.814
I promise, or if you just don't have time which it doesn't take much time or if you just don't have nori sheet available, then just make a sushi bowl.

00:22:14.814 --> 00:22:31.490
That's what I ended up doing today because I did work, and so I put the rice in the bowl and then all the other ingredients, put a little bit of the sauce and you can even find things like nori flakes or dulse flakes, where it still gives you some of that flavor, but you just sprinkle it on there instead of having to roll it up, and you get the same thing.

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.611
Some of my other favorites are power on plant, zipa, toscana.

00:22:35.611 --> 00:22:39.269
It's like our old favorite Italian restaurant, only better.

00:22:39.269 --> 00:22:43.067
None of the guilt tastes just as creamy you would swear it had heavy cream in it.

00:22:43.067 --> 00:22:45.901
It was so good.

00:22:45.901 --> 00:22:47.203
That's in our pop original cookbook.

00:22:47.203 --> 00:22:50.011
In the Thrive cookbook, two of our favorite chilies are there.

00:22:50.011 --> 00:22:52.683
What about a warm drink?

00:22:52.683 --> 00:22:55.369
Like in fall, I need something toasty in my cup.

00:22:55.369 --> 00:22:57.221
So many ways to do teas.

00:22:57.221 --> 00:22:59.327
Our favorite matcha latte and hot cocoa.

00:22:59.327 --> 00:23:02.036
Both of those are in the cookbooks.

00:23:02.036 --> 00:23:08.973
I believe they're both in the original, but I have favorite drinks in both of them because that's really important to me.

00:23:08.973 --> 00:23:16.753
I mean sometimes, honestly, I want to drink something that's just a little bit sweet and it replaces the need or desire for a dessert for me.

00:23:16.753 --> 00:23:23.005
I'm not saying dessert's bad and I'm certainly not saying you can't have it, because that's another lie that we're going to be busting down.

00:23:23.005 --> 00:23:27.067
But if you want something sweet, sometimes a warm drink is the way to do that in the fall.

00:23:27.228 --> 00:23:29.068
Especially as the nights start to get cooler.

00:23:29.068 --> 00:23:30.569
It's just perfect for that.

00:23:30.951 --> 00:23:34.993
I like it in the early mornings too, when I'm going out to do my Bible study on the back porch.

00:23:34.993 --> 00:23:39.676
It's just so nice to sit there with, like a cup of hot tea or the hot cocoa.

00:23:39.676 --> 00:23:41.361
Oh, it's so good.

00:23:41.361 --> 00:23:42.523
Chocolate lovers, you're going to love that one.

00:23:42.744 --> 00:23:44.891
Yeah, the hot cocoa is in our Thrive cookbook.

00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:47.144
Oh, I was wrong, it's in Thrive.

00:23:47.144 --> 00:23:51.244
Okay, so it's in Thrive, not the original, and the matcha latte is in the original.

00:23:51.244 --> 00:23:54.051
I promise you we are just scratching the surface here.

00:23:54.051 --> 00:23:55.644
This is what we love to do.

00:23:55.644 --> 00:23:57.750
We love to brainstorm these things with you.

00:23:57.750 --> 00:24:04.128
Get inside, pie our free group and share with each other what is your fall favorite dish.

00:24:04.128 --> 00:24:12.407
I challenge you if you're already in pie, come in and post one thing that you absolutely love eating for fall.

00:24:12.407 --> 00:24:16.500
It doesn't even have to be one of our recipes, as long as it's whole food, plant-based.

00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:22.586
I prefer it not to have any oil or a bunch of added sugar, because we know that those things are not gonna set you up for success.

00:24:22.586 --> 00:24:24.045
Come in and share what you made.

00:24:24.045 --> 00:24:30.626
Or, if it's a recipe that has oil, just tell how you replaced it or that you left it out, or ask for ideas from other people.

00:24:30.626 --> 00:24:31.209
What would you do?

00:24:31.560 --> 00:24:42.582
Yeah, think of it as a plant-based mastermind, because really you're drawing on the experiences of others and as it grows, and it's continuing to grow, week after week, and you just get more and more ideas.

00:24:42.781 --> 00:24:46.085
It can change everything for you in some amazing ways.

00:24:46.085 --> 00:24:50.930
We look forward to seeing you inside Pie and hearing about some of your favorite dishes.

00:24:50.930 --> 00:24:56.635
And, while you're there, share with us what is your favorite idea that you got from this episode.

00:24:56.635 --> 00:24:57.737
We'd love to hear all about it.

00:24:57.737 --> 00:25:03.546
And, before you go today, if you've been listening to the podcast and getting some incredible information, we could really use your help.

00:25:03.546 --> 00:25:20.015
We need to spread the word and let more people know that they can be free with these awesome, amazing foods by learning how to have them in the way that's simple, enjoyable and delicious, so that it's happily sustainable for life Inside the Apple Podcast app.

00:25:20.015 --> 00:25:24.184
If you'd leave just a very short written review, it would mean the world to us.

00:25:24.184 --> 00:25:27.150
We look forward to reading those and meeting you inside Pi.

00:25:27.150 --> 00:25:30.961
Have a great week, sunshine, and we'll see you again very soon.

00:25:30.961 --> 00:25:31.280
Thank you.
