This past weekend at @txsc, I was super inspired by @caroline_joy and @jessclively 's conversation about living with intention. Caroline talked about how to find ways to stay tied to your "why" as a blogger, and it got me thinking about the real reasons I started Week of Plenty. For me, eating simple plant-based meals isn't about sticking to the rules of being vegan — it's about eating in a way that makes you feel and look your best, and ultimately gives you the confidence and energy you need to focus on doing big things in the world. Figuring out what works for YOU. Too much to think about on a Tuesday, you say? Then just make this salad and go on about your day. 😙 Recipe below. 🔽 #VSCOcam #foodvsco #plantbased #plantpowerful #vegan #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #TxSC15 #txsc2015 #weekofplenty #thatsplenty (at http://weekofplenty.com)

Monday should start with chocolate -- Chocolate Tart with Coconut Mocha Ganache and Coconut Almond Crust, to be exact. If you were in Willow at @txsc, these might look familiar... 😘the way to a cabinmate's heart is definitely chocolate, btw... PS, they're vegan and maybe paleo?? I don't really understand paleo.... #foodvsco #feedfeed #findingvegan #whatveganseat #monday #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #plantbased #swoon #TxSC15 #txsc2015 #willtravelfortarte #VSCOcam (at http://weekofplenty.com)

Just got back from @txsc this afternoon, so I whipped up some tamari sweet potato fries with Sriracha ketchup and a kale salad with peanut dressing...NOT. I scarfed a chipotle bowl so I could spend my time soaking in the awesome weekend I had and following all my new blog camp friends. These fries were really good last Thursday though. You should make em. 😜. INGREDIENTS: 2 sweet potatoes sliced in 1/2 inch fries, tossed in 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon Sriracha and 1 teaspoon Tamari or soy sauce. DIRECTIONS: Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, flip with a spatula, and bake 10-15 minutes more, until they're marshmallowy but not soggy. Serve em with Sriracha and ketchup mixed together. #TxSC15 #txsc2015 #txsc #VSCOcam #foodvsco #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #govegan #greenisgood #carbup #latergram #plantbased #petitejoys #darlingweekend #thatsplenty #weekofplenty #whatveganseat #easyrecipes #recipes #theeverygirlcooks (at http://weekofplenty.com)

Made myself a vegan pizza at @shortyswaco . What do you think? Should I keep bugging the boss man to put it on the menu?? I'll call it the Odd Ball Special. #VSCOcam #waco #wacosploring #wacoliving #wacotx #wacotown #pizza #shortyspizzashack #shortys #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #plantbased (at Shorty's Pizza Shack)

Lunch is coming together. Salad of Carrots, Lentils, and Broccoli with Lemon-Tahini Dressing and a sprinkle of Za'atar. Secret ingredient: the tiniest bit of brine from a jar of capers for a punch of salty, savory umami. #foodvsco #vegano #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #veganlunch #lunch #plantbased #weekofplenty #wacoliving #whatveganseat #whatiatetoday #VSCOcam (at http://weekofplenty.com)

They are 1⃣ tender, 2⃣ fluffy, 3⃣ moist (I said it, moist haters, I'm sorry), 4⃣ indulgent, 5⃣ chocolatey, and...wait for it...6⃣ healthy? It's true!! I ate em and ate em and then there were none....
