Power-slaw: a weekend ritual

Power-slaw is a simple combination of vegetables, seeds and/or grains that will not wilt or get yucky, but actually strengthen in flavor and remain exceptionally crunchy as deep into the week as Thursday.

It’s more than a recipe; it’s a ritual.

No, JK – but that is def how the advertisement would run.

So anyway, Power-slaw is simply a symbol of healthy living - a vegan tool, like Miley Cyrus, that can nourish you all week long until it feels annoying and overplayed.

Bear with me - there is a point.

Chop all of the following up in bites as large or as small as you want them: half a bag of kale, half a bag of spinach, half a bag of cabbage, half a bag of shredded carrots, a red pepper, half a head of broccoli, half a shallot and three cloves of garlic. Add pumpkin seeds and a bag of nuked frozen quinoa (at room temp, DUH). Drench the mixture with a vinaigrette dressing and there you have it.

Simple, effective and freakishly adaptable – I promise this Power-slaw will be the staple in your packed lunch this week.

I encourage you to not only eat this slaw on its own but to also top your falafel balls, veggie burgers and sandwiches with it - or even serve it on the side of potatoes, soup or some tofu thing.

(It goes without being said that you can chop up whatever you’d like in your slaw - make it your own! Go nuts for nuts, add a can of drained black beans, get spicy with a radish or use less garlic if you hate flavor. But heed my warning, if your aim is to make this slaw last, avoid mushy veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms and the like.)

Thank you as always for reading,

Vegetable Frittata

Frittatas are a terrific way to prepare elegant brunches, hearty and quick breakfasts, and meals that help empty the fridge. Frittatas are delicious warm, cold, or room temperature. In comparison to certain other egg recipes, it is far less fussy. It has almost enough space for everything. Add whatever strange things or leftovers you have lingering in your refrigerator to your frittata. It is really adaptable. And it is really easy to make them. Once the basic formula has been mastered.

A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe. –Thomas Keller
