There’s a special kind of magic that happens when you take the leftovers in the fridge and toss them together with a few staple - such as black beans and rice. Scroll through for leftovers pics.

Camp Burgers (Whole-Food, Plant-Based, No Oil)

Makes: 18–20 burgers | Cook Time: 40 minutes on the barbecue or in the oven. Tonight was …

Ingredients:
• 4 cups cooked black beans
• 4 cups cooked brown rice
• 2 cups cooked roasted white potatoes (leftovers are perfect)
• 2 cups cooked roasted sweet potatoes
• 1 cup cooked beet (about 1 medium beet)
• 1 cup cooked wheat berries
• ½ cup cooked edamame
• ½ cup cooked corn kernels
• 1½ cups breadcrumbs or leftover stuffing/dressing (can contain extras like carrot, onion, and savory)

Spices:
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1½ tablespoons smoked paprika

Directions:
1. Blend in Batches: Add beans, potatoes, beet, wheat berries, rice, edamame, corn, and breadcrumbs/stuffing to a food processor. Blend until thick and uniform, with some texture remaining.
2. Season: Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
3. Shape Patties: Scoop about ½ cup mixture per burger, shape into patties, and place on parchment-lined pan.
4. Cook:
• Barbecue: Grill on a parchment-lined pan over low–medium heat (325–350°F) for 20 minutes per side.
• Oven: Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, flip, and bake 20 more minutes.
5. Serve: Enjoy on a whole-grain bun, in a wrap, or crumbled over a salad.

💡 Pro Tip:
Your burger mix will firm up even more after cooling, so chill before making patties. Make extras, cool completely, and freeze with parchment between patties or vacuum seal. Re- grill or 2 minutes from frozen in microwave.

Potassium check! 💥

My blood work recently came back with potassium at 3.3, in large part due to a medication I just started. It is just under the ideal minimum of 3.5 mmol/L. It might sound minor, but potassium is crucial for muscle function, heart rhythm, nerve signals, hydration, and blood pressure regulation. ⚡

I was told, “Just eat a banana a day.”

And while a medium banana does have a solid rep, let’s look at the numbers:

🍌 Medium banana:
• ~420–450 mg potassium
• ~105 calories

🌱 ⅔ cup shelled edamame with corn with a crack of salt and pepper, my snack:
• ~600 mg potassium
• ~100 calories

So nearly the same calories—but 30–40% more potassium in the edamame mix.

• Don’t just default to bananas.
• Potassium powerhouses include edamame, beans, lentils, potatoes, spinach, squash and more.
• Tiny changes = big impact

Easy swap, better boost

$50 for all of this.

I can get 50 grams of protein a day for the next 3 days with just what’s in this picture. But I have some spinach, sweet potatoes and 3 cups on cooked black beans in the fridge. That will boost the protein by 30% and double my fiber per day, for very little extra money.

Eating well does not need to be out of reach. There are plenty of people here on instagram that are sharing great recipes. Our average, per serving, meal is $5.

Some mornings, the words just find you.

Today I woke up and turned to Bill and said, “You know, life with you feels like floating down a lazy river.”

It’s easy.
It’s soft.
It’s peaceful in a way I didn’t know I needed.

There are gentle curves, the occasional ripple, but nothing I can’t see coming. I can plan for those. Paddle gently around them. Breathe through them. And that calm? That quiet flow? It is everything.

But outside that river — just beyond the current — it’s a different world.

Some days I can hear the coyotes on the riverbank, pacing. Waiting for the water to drop low enough to lunge.
Black flies hover, small but relentless, nipping at me when I let my guard down.

And there’s always one deer fly — just one — spinning and circling, again and again, buzzing just close enough to remind me it’s there. That bite’s coming. I just don’t know when.

That’s the part I can’t plan for.
That’s the part that wears me down.

It’s not the water beneath me — it’s the tension around me. The unseen. The unsaid. The unrelenting hum of the world’s edge.

I share this because maybe someone else feels this too — the ache of peace interrupted by the pull of everything else. The lazy river isn’t a lie. It’s real, and it’s sacred. But so are the threats that linger beyond the banks.

So today, I’m honouring the river.

Grateful for the people who make it flow. And mindful of the strength it takes to stay afloat when the shore starts to bite.

🌱 Creamy Garlic H**p Fettuccine Alfredo (WFPB & Oil-Free)

A rich, creamy, and satisfying fettuccine alfredo made with whole food ingredients — no oil, no dairy, just pure deliciousness. Perfect for a cozy dinner with a vibrant twist of garlic and green onions.

🍝 Ingredients

For the H**p Alfredo Sauce:
• ½ cup h**p seeds
• ¾ cup water
• 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk (just soy and water, no additives)
• 1–1½ heads of roasted garlic, peeled (adjust to taste — ~3 cloves for mild, 1+ heads for bold)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Sea salt or low-sodium veggie broth (to taste, optional)

For the Pasta & Veggies:
• 25 Gr fettuccine (or pasta of choice)
• 650 Gr mushrooms, sliced
• 2–3 handfuls fresh spinach
• Green onion, sliced (for garnish)
• Nutritional yeast (optional, for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Sauce:
• In a high-speed blender (e.g. Ninja), combine h**p seeds, water, soy milk, garlic, and onion powder.
• Blend for about 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy.
• Taste and adjust with a bit of sea salt or veggie broth if desired.
2. Sauté the Veggies:
• In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté mushrooms until they release their juices and soften (~5–7 minutes).
• Add spinach and stir until just wilted. Remove from heat.
3. Cook the Pasta:
• While the veggies cook, prepare pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. Combine:
• Add cooked pasta to the skillet with mushrooms and spinach.
• Pour the h**p alfredo sauce over the pasta and toss to coat.
• Heat gently, just until the sauce warms through (avoid overcooking, as h**p can become gritty if overheated).
5. Serve:
• Plate the pasta and top with chopped green onion.
• Optional: sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a cheesy finish.

💡 Tips
• For extra depth, roasted garlic is best
• Great with gluten-free pasta too!
