Who's HUNGRY!?!! Maggie here! I'm sharing with you my go-to macro bowl recipe! Macro bowls are a great way to make sure you get all your plant-based macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats) in your meal!... It's typically composed of a grain base, raw or cooked veggies, a protein of your choice, and healthy fats. You can mix it up and get creative with your macro bowl. What I used: Carbohydrates - rice (you can also try: quinoa, wild rice, brown rice, sweet potatoes, farro, etc.) Protein - tempeh (you can also try: lentils, black beans, garbanzo beans, tofu, etc.) Healthy Fats - avocado (you can also try: nuts or use a nut butter based sauce) All the fixings and flavor bombs - furikake, kimchi probiotics and sriracha (you can also try: different dressings, soy sauce, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, sauerkraut, etc.) Take a picture of your creation and tag us @usfkoret! #myfavoriterecipes #selfcare #deliciouslyvegan #winterbreak #usfrecsports #usfkoret #usfca See more

So, LETTUCE COOK! Ingredients: - 1 block extra firm tofu, pressed, drained and cubed - 8 oz. can water chestnuts, drained, rinsed and chopped - 1/2 medium zucchini, chopped - 1 cup mushrooms, chopped - 1 medium carrot, chopped - 3 cloves garlic, minced - 1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce Sauce: - 3 tbsp hoisin sauce - 2 tbsp rice vinegar, unseasoned - 2 tbsp soy sauce - 1 tsp sesame oil - 1 tsp sesame seeds - 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) Instructions: 1. In a large saucepan over medium heat add a little bit of water or cooking oil and the garlic. Saute garlic for 3-4 mins or until fragrant. 2.

The Holiday Season can be stressful, especially if we are not getting the support we need at home or if we are away from supportive family & friends. Try making a Comfort Box or Bag for a quick and easy way of bringing back a sense of calm and comfort . HOW TO MAKE:... 1. Grab a small box (shoebox, small postal delivery box, matchbox) or bag (small backpack, drawstring bag, small purse). If you feel inspired, personalize the outside of the box or bag! 2. Pick some items that bring you comfort or relax you. Try picking an item that hits each of the senses: touch, sight, sound, taste, smell. 3. Some suggestions to get started: - a music playlist - pictures of friends or your pet - dark chocolate, gum, or tea - scented lotion or essential oils - fuzzy blanket, scarf or a lovingly worn-in sweater - or include something to do that’s small and tactile like origami Whenever you feel overwhelmed or upset, take a moment to look through your comfort box and grab an item that will ground you! Pro-active self-care can make the Winter Break feel less daunting! Feel free to share in the comments some items you’d put in your own comfort box or tag us in a pic of your comfort box! #usfrecsports #usfkoret #selfcare #mentalhealth #comfortbox #winterbreak See more

It’s the start of the Winter Season! For me, CJ, that usually means I’m cranking out cookies, bars, and pies for friends and family. Here’s a cookie recipe to brighten your day with a sweet wintery, treat: Snowballs (aka Mexican Wedding Cookies, aka Russian Tea Cakes)! Ingredients: - 1 Cup Unsalted Butter - 1 3/4 Cups All Purpose Flour... - Cup Powdered Sugar (Confectioner’s Sugar) - Teaspoon of Salt - 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract - 1 Cup Pecans, chopped (or nut of your choice) - Cup Powdered Sugar, for coating (keep aside) Steps: 1) In a bowl, cream together the sugar and slightly softened butter, that’s been cut into large pieces (you can use a hand mixer or good ‘ole elbow grease). Stir in vanilla. Mix in the flour and chopped pecans (or your nut of choice). Keep mixing until it comes together into a smooth dough, it shouldn’t be sandy! 2) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 3) Shape the dough into small balls, resembling snowballs, and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 13-14 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan, 5-8 minutes; once cool enough to handle but still warm, roll the baked cookies in powdered sugar. Once coated, let fully cool on a wire rack and then roll in powdered sugar again. 4) Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea! Tips: If you want to be extra festive, try adding some crushed candy-canes, almond extract, or even rum extract for a little extra wintery kick!

With Thanksgiving only 1 week away, do you know the importance of food sovereignty and how it impacts you?! The movement started to address inequalities; working towards food justice for everyone! Checkout & follow:... @groundedgrub @la_via_campesina_official @familyfarmcoalition In 1996, La Via Campesina, an international organization of peasants, small- and medium-sized producers, indigenous peoples, landless people, rural women, rural youth, and agricultural workers, introduced the right of food sovereignty at the World Food Summit. This constitutes the right of the peoples to healthy and culturally-appropriate food produced through sustainable methods and their right to define their own food and agricultural systems. In 2007, the Nyéléni Forum for Food Sovereignty in Mali, with 700 delegates from five continents, clarified the economic, social, ecological, and political implications of the movement and created an international process to achieve recognition of the right to food sovereignty. #foodsovereignty #foodalliance #foodjustice #endhunger See more
