⁣Spice 💥 crusted 💥 tofu veggie kabobs.💥

⁣Spice 💥 crusted 💥 tofu veggie kabobs.💥! Okay, these are one of my favorite meal prep hacks. I grill or bake the kabobs early in the week, and add the components to salads, pasta, rice, or tacos throughout the week. And they always work with a good dip! So many options tasty options, that never get boring. Make once, eat alllll week. 👏🏻⠀
⠀
⭐ To make things ridiculously simple, I buy the pre-cut veggies that come with wooden skewers in the refrigerator case (AD) @freshthyme, and grab a block of firm tofu, too. I love FT’s commitment to fresh and healthy food at affordable prices. 🌿 ⠀
⠀
Veggies and tofu get tossed in olive oil and a flavorful dry rub, and then grilled or baked. Store in fridge for up to 5 days!⠀
⠀
📌 Here’s the recipe for the dry rub:⠀⠀
⠀
1 teaspoon garlic powder⠀⠀
1 teaspoon smoked paprika⠀⠀
1 teaspoon ground cumin⠀⠀
1/2 teaspoon black pepper⠀⠀
2 teaspoon kosher salt⠀⠀
— Mix together in a bowl.⠀⠀
⠀
Press tofu and cut into cubes. Toss tofu and cut veggies with 2 tablespoons olive oil, each. Then coat in dry rub. Let marinate for 20 minutes before threading onto skewers, and bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or on grill for 10-15 minutes. ⠀

⁣Bright and vibrant hummus needed on a Monday...

⁣My career started as a pharmaceutical sales rep

⁣My career started as a pharmaceutical sales rep. Somehow I ended up here, as a creative.⠀
⠀
As an entrepreneur, photographer, food stylist, digital marketer, and writer.⠀
⠀
I grew up in a family who celebrated sports and academics. The arts, not so much. I followed that path as prescribed, not one for defiance. I played sports in high school and was an A student. I went to college on a Division 1 golf scholarship, and graduated with honors. ⠀
⠀
A corporate job was due next.⠀
⠀
My days in pharmaceuticals lasted 6 years, until the ethics became too much for me to handle. It was never my dream job, but it fit the life I had been conditioned to believe was the “right way”. You know, the one that follows a straight line. ⠀
⠀
It never felt like me. But then again, what would feel like me? ⠀
⠀
At 28 I realized that I never had the chance to explore creativity, to walk a non-linear path, to discover things that truly excited me, rather than those that theoretically, should. ⠀
⠀
At which point I began digging out from the artificial layers that had defined me. Which wasn't pretty, but so necessary.⠀
⠀
💓 In 2011, Heartbeet Kitchen became my self-expression, my passion project while I worked full-time at Target headquarters. ⠀
⠀
And in 2015, I made the leap to becoming my own boss, using a funnel of different skills to make it work. Which I still do today, evolving with the years.⠀
⠀
I work hard. ⠀
I love what I do. ⠀
And I’m forever thankful that I found the real me underneath those layers.⠀
⠀

⁣✨ Homemade chocolate dipped rice krispie trea

⁣✨ Homemade chocolate dipped rice krispie treats, with sprinkles! A definite mood.⠀
Ask me how many I ate this week, on second thought, just don’t. 🙊⠀
These nostalgic bars are still a fave over here, regardless of age. ⠀
⠀
A little celebration too, because October is #Fairtrade Month.⠀
And every trip to the grocery store or online shop is a small opportunity to choose the world you want.⠀
⠀
Where farmers get paid a fair price for their goods.⠀
Where women have the same rights and opportunities as men.⠀
Where children get to go to school rather than working a job that jeopardizes their health and safety.⠀
Where the environment isn’t sacrificed for production.⠀
⠀
🍫 So next time you grab a chocolate bar look for the (#sponsored) @fairtrademarkus symbol on the package to know you’re supporting almost 2 million farmers and workers. I like the @eschocolate bars for both snacking and using in recipes, like I did here by melting and dipping the rice krispie treats in. ⠀
⠀
Also, Fairtrade America is partnering with mural artists in Denver, Los Angeles, and Nashville to highlight how a simple everyday action, like purchasing Fairtrade certified coffee, cocoa, or bananas can be a powerful way to make a difference. These murals connect stories of the people who produce these everyday staples, to the benefits of Fairtrade. Go visit these beautiful works of art if you live in one of those cities and/or enter to win one of their giveaways this month at choosefairtrade.org! ⠀
