It was so hot today, it go up to 100 degrees. Are you experiencing the heat wave in your town? I decided I needed something cool and refreshing so I made Spring Rolls for dinner with Thai Peanut sauce and a side salad with Ranch dressing. Yum!

Her's the replay of today's call.

My Friday favorite is making a big, colorful salad with a homemade dressing. It feels so vibrant and is the perfect end to the week. Question: What’s one plant-based meal you genuinely look forward to eating on Fridays?

On yesterday’s call, I shared that my daughter brought me a few jars of hearts of palm, and I mentioned that I was planning to make plant-based crab cakes. Well, this morning I woke up craving grits and salmon — so that’s exactly what I made, plant-based style! 💚 Sometimes the best meals come from simply listening to what you’re craving and finding a creative way to make it work. Hearts of palm are such a great option because they have a light, flaky texture that works beautifully in seafood-inspired dishes. Crab cakes will have to wait a while. I didn't eat all 4; only 3.😃 Have you ever cooked with hearts of palm? What did you make?🌱
