Do you have Easy-wins, Smash-the-stereotype-Salads & Lovely-for-Leftovers when entertaining?

This weekend I’m cooking a belated Father’s Day lunch for the extended family.

All non-vegans.

I thought I’d share my approach - some of the easy wins, plus this year’s deliciousness!

I tend to go more indulgent when I’m cooking for non-vegans. Still very healthy by normal societal standards however certainly more oil and salt than I use day to day.

Here are my 3 steps:

✅ One. Easy-wins: Baked smashed potatoes and anything (vegan) filo!

This weekend a family fav, Herb Roasted Chickpea Vegetable Wellington from Plant Based RD..

✅ Two. Smash-the-stereotype-Salads: I often do a Cauli-Kale Tabouli or this Roasted Squash Salad with Crispy Shallot & Balsamic Reduction from Minimalist Baker. However I also like at least one new recipe each time I entertain and it'll be a tough choice to pick just ONE from **Plantbae's Protein Packed Salads ebook (available as part of this years Thrive Bundle).

Here are the finalists:

High Protein Soba Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce
Roasted Butternut Squash, Turmeric Quinoa and Avocado Salad
Avocado Soba Noodle Salad With Orange Ginger Dressing
Chopped Southwest Salad with Chipotle Dressing

Also, The Super Green Salad is one to put on my own regular food prep rotation.

**Created by plant-based nutritionist, Sarah Cobacho, the 25 salad recipes in this ebook have a minimum of 20 grams protein and often over 30.

✅ Three. Lovely-for-Leftovers: Here I am just recognising that a lot of cooking to entertain, leaves me pretty ready for less cooking the next couple of days! If you can relate then over-catering makes sense. I make a double of the Wellington and as many potatoes as the oven can fit! Same goes for the salad - especially if it is not dressed.

Talking deliciousness! I've jumped onboard the THRIVE Bundle as an affiliate again this year and am blown away by just how much goodness is included!

When I first became vegan I made it so much harder on myself than I needed to. I spent too much time in the kitchen and had MANY recipe flops!

It wasn't until I found the right creators online who shared their deliciousness - their recipes WINS - and do you know, often even more importantly? Their attitude of love, compassion and abundance.

MANY of these fabulous creators are contributing to the incredible Thrive Bundle this year. So much goodness is included, and it's certainly NOT all food!

This is a collection of 120+ full-length cookbooks, e-books, meal plans, guides, and classes that will help you live your healthiest life.
