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!

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?🌱

Let's be honest. One of the toughest parts of this lifestyle can be navigating meals with family and friends who eat differently. It can feel a little isolating sometimes. You are not alone in feeling this way. Question: Have you ever felt like the 'odd one out' at mealtime? How did you handle it? (There are No right or wrong answers here!)
