Southwestern Veggie Taco

This is one of my favorite recipes I took away from the Ultimate Reset!  I make it all the time, and usually have it every Tuesday when my family is having Taco Tuesday at home!  It's easy, I leave out the ground turkey from mine and make a few adjustments with the recipe and voila...delicious, healthy, and vegan meal!!

Roasted Root Medley

I've been out of the country for a couple weeks and just getting back and settled...will update more on that fun later!  But for now I wanted to share this delicious recipe!

While I was on the Ultimate Reset I discovered new foods that I was not aware I liked...such as roasted beets.  This was one of the recipes I really enjoyed and have already made it a few times even being off the Ultimate Reset.

Roasted Root Medley
(Makes 1 serving)

• 1/4 medium yam, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/2 medium carrot, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/2 medium beet, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/4 medium onion, peeled, cut int large wedges

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Combine yam, carrot, been, onion and melted oil and salt; mix well.  Arrange veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until tender.  Turning once or twice.

This is a great side dish or a nice vegan meal option.

Microgreen Salad - Ultimate Reset Recipe

This is a salad that has come to be one of my FAVORITES of this Ultimate Reset journey.  I never thought having a good "salad" recipe was very important.  I'm usually one that just dumps whatever I have into my salad and call then call it a day!  But I've got to say, this one is DELICIOUS!  When I look at a good salad, I usually think there is one thing that really sets it apart…for this salad, it's the toasted raw pumpkin seeds that I put on it (Oh, and the homemade dressing!).

Microgreen Salad*
3 cups baby salad greens
1/4 medium carrot, shredded
1/2 medium cucumber, chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 cup sprouts (like radish, alfalfa, or broccoli)
1/2 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped jicama
1 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro (optional)

Add 1/4 cup to a 1/3 cup Toasted Pumpkin Seeds to the salad.

Add 2 Tbsp of dressing of your choice.  (My favorite is the Ginger-Sesame-Miso salad dressing)

Combine everything together in a large bowl and toss gently to blend!

Microgreen Salad - Taking healthy food to the beach!

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe*

2 cups raw green pumpkin seeds (without shells)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Arrange pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until very aromatic and slightly browned, being careful not to burn.  Let cool before handling.  Store in airtight container.

Baked Tempeh - Ultimate Reset Recipe

Tempeh...ever heard of it?  Well I hadn't before I started the Ultimate Reset. But I've gotta say I was pleasantly surprised by how it tasted. With the marinade I used it was actually pretty tasty!!  I've had this for dinner and breakfast during this program and it's kept me satisfied!  

For those of you who don't know what Tempeh is, it is a fermented soy product that's high in protein and easy to digest. It's available in the refrigerated section of health food stores and Trader Joe's. 

2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

2 Tbsp Bragg Liquid Aminos

1-1/2 tsp Sesame Oil

1-1/2 tsp Pure Maple Syrup 

1/2 Clove Garlic, minced

4 oz Tempeh, cut into 1/2 inch strips. 

Combine vinegar, Bragg Liquid Aminos, oil, maple syrup and garlic in small bowl; mix well. Place Tempeh in shallow dish and pour marinade over tempeh. Marinate for an hour in fridge turning once to get marinade on both sides. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 10-15 min on both sides.
