Weeknight Simple for March is here!

Here’s what’s on the menu:

👩🏽‍🍳 Tempeh Manchurian A nostalgic Indo-Chinese classic, inspired by a very specific (and very funny) high school memory. Crisp vegetable + tempeh balls tossed in a glossy, chile-garlic sauce that’s spicy, tangy, and completely addictive. This one is pure comfort with a punch.

👩🏽‍🍳 Steel-Cut Oats Risotto with Leeks, Peas & Kale Creamy, grounding, and just light enough to hint at spring. Fresh mint, lemon, and sweet green peas bring brightness to this unexpected twist on risotto — inspired by the late Chef Floyd Cardoz. It’s cozy, but elevated.

👩🏽‍🍳 Coconut Curry Noodles with Tofu A one-pot situation I come back to again and again. Rich coconut broth, ginger, garlic, a little heat, and noodles that soak it all up. It tastes like it simmered all day, but comes together for a weeknight.

If you’re new here, Weeknight Simple is my monthly recipe club with 3 protein-forward dinners, a bonus recipe, a full shopping list and access to my growing recipe archive.

Let’s make this make sense. 💚

No advice here. Just a little caution that nutrition and lifestyle aren’t one-size-fits-all.

I know I needed to soften. My body made that very clear. After a bruising stretch of insomnia last year, I had to turn inward in a way I never had before - somatic practices, therapy, getting deep into Ayurvedic nutrition. Not to optimize. Not to hack. Just to help my body feel safe again.

I even had to stop strength training for a while, because my nervous system was so wired that I couldn’t sleep.
Hustle works sometimes. But as a constant state of being? It doesn’t work for me.

This year, I’m leaning into what actually feels good. When work feels like play. When nourishment feels grounding. When I’m building from a regulated place, not a rushed one.

Does this resonate? I’d love to hear what has changed for you in this season of life.

Weeknight Simple for February is (finally) out — and I think you’ll find it worth the wait!

Here’s what’s on the menu:

👩🏽‍🍳 Coriander Tofu Bowl with Beet Tzatziki
At the heart of this bowl is a punchy coriander-ginger sauce I’ve wanted to recreate ever since spotting a version in Madhur Jaffrey’s cooking. Here, it coats tofu and pairs with a vibrant beet tzatziki — creamy, cooling, and hot-pink bright — for that perfect balance of spice and freshness. A deeply satisfying, protein-forward bowl with layers of flavor and color.

👩🏽‍🍳 Curried Butternut Squash Soup with Ezekiel Croutons
Sunshine in a bowl. This smooth, gently spiced soup is hearty enough to stand as a winter main, with two quiet protein boosts bringing it to ~20g per serving. The toppings make it: chili crisp, pumpkin seeds, and crunchy Ezekiel croutons for contrast, heat, and texture in every spoonful.

👩🏽‍🍳 Whole Wheat Einkorn Brioche-Style Bread
My long-awaited answer to supermarket brioche. Whole-grain einkorn and Greek yogurt create a loaf that’s tender, moist, and surprisingly fluffy, with real depth of flavor. Rich enough to feel special, but versatile enough for everyday — from soup companion to sandwich base to breakfast toast.

✨Gluten-free and vegetarian? I see you.✨
You’re trying to eat in a way that feels good and actually tastes like something—and I’m here for it.

If you don’t have celiac but know that modern wheat makes you feel off, these two are worth exploring:

🌾 Einkorn – an ancient grain with real character (and a great pasta texture)
🍞 Ezekiel bread – sprouted, easier on digestion, and way more satisfying than most gluten-free bread

These are student favorites in The Vegetarian Reset Lab—because yes, it is possible to get protein, carbs, and flavor in the same bite.

And no, gluten-free doesn’t have to mean boring.

Follow for more high-protein vegetarian ideas that work with your body—not against it.
