Hey Friends! I hope you guys are having a great day. I have some delicious recipes for you today, if you are following the starch solution or a plant based diet for health or weight loss.
If you’re new here, welcome! I created this YouTube Channel to share my experience with losing 70 lbs in 2020 on a whole food plant based diet.
I decided very soon after starting my channel to no longer include sponsorships any longer, and want all the products I recommend to be genuine things I love and use. However, making youtube videos is extremely labor and time intensive. If you have found my content at all helpful to your journey, please consider showing your support and making a small donation to help me continue making these videos.

Today’s Recipes:
Breakfast:
Fruit Salad- I had blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apples, mixed in a tupperware for the week. For breakfast I decided to take some precooked oat groats (I like to mix them with steel cut oats, and cook for the week in the pressure cooker- super easy to cook. I do 4 cups water to each cup steel cut/oat groat mix and cook on high pressure for 18 min and let fully naturally release) and combine with microwaved frozen cauliflower rice to get in my veggies. I added some fruit salad and a banana to my cauliflower oats, as well as some vanilla powder (I like this one and ceylon cinnamon. It is a tasty, filling, and delicious breakfast I highly recommend!
Lunch: I ate a bowl of fruit salad, and then heated up some pre steamed veggies and potatoes, topped with my spicy arrabiata sauce (recipe below) with a sprinkle of nooch! Delish!

Recipe:
Saute any veggies you have to use up, I did zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, cabbage, and cherry tomatoes. Add in two cans of diced tomatoes (or fresh if you like). Add 1 TB costco no salt seasoning (link here: 1/2 tsp aleppo pepper (link here: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp italian seasoning, 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 2 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tsp onion powder. Saute and let cook down for 5-10 min. Add 1-2 cups veggie broth as needed to get to your desired consistency. You can take an immersion blender or blend up 1/3 of the mix for a creamier texture, or just eat as a hearty tomato sauce as I did. Stir in some greens for extra veggies if desired. Top over your pasta or veggies or starch of choice and add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a “cheesy” taste.
Dinner: Stick rice roll ups:
I had some leftover sticky rice (I use tradiitonal sweet rice- cook in the instant pot for 10 min on high pressure, let naturally release for 10 min and then steam release the rest) I had a large bowl of fresh greens that I would take a bit of sticky rice, fold it over some greens, and top with a sprinkle of Sweet Heat Balsamic vinegar from California Balsamic (link here: It is a super simple but delicious dinner!
