IMHO, there is no better addition to a bowl of oats than pb + banana. So simple, yet so unbelievably delicious. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be expensive, trendy, or include a laundry list of ingredients to get the job done. Keep it simple, enjoy the foods you love✌️and you’ll be golden.

⠀⠀
Details: rolled oats cooked in milk of choice on microwave or stovetop with pb (this was @peanutbutterco White Chocolatey Wonderful 😍 mixed in). Topped with ground flax seed, banana slices, and more pb.

This Simple Weeknight Lasagna is easy, delicious, and perfectly balanced for a satisfying weekday lunch, dinner, or anytime meal! Plus, it packs a serious protein punch 🥊 It’s even a win with those not sure about hopping on the tofu 🚂 train, because it blends right in with all those scrumptious lasagna layers. The look, texture, and taste is just like ricotta cheese! We hope you love this delicious dish as much as we do.
.
⠀⠀
Ingredients: •1 package firm or extra firm tofu •2, 20-25 oz jars favorite marinara sauce •1 bag (approx 6 oz) fresh spinach •8 oz (half box) oven ready lasagna noodles •10-12 oz shredded Italian cheese (we do 50/50 mix of mozzarella and @traderjoes quattro formaggio, blend of parm, asiago, fontina, and prov) •1/2 tsp each, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
.
⠀⠀
Directions: Drain and press tofu paper to remove as much moisture as possible (this avoids lasagna soup 🙈). Test moisture by doing a final press in between paper towels. Little to no water should release. Slice tofu into thin 1/4-1/2” slices. Spread a layer of sauce on the bottom of an oven safe baking dish. Place a single layer of noodles, followed by sauce, tofu, generous handful of spinach (wilts down to nothing!), cheese, and finally a sprinkle of dry seasonings. Repeat layers 2-3 more times. On the top layer, add noodles, sauce, cheese, and herbs only. Cover and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.

The weekend is (almost) here and we’re already b The weekend is (almost) here and we’re already brunch dreaming!😍 Loaded Potato Hash is a Compston family favorite! Sautéed onions, peppers, mushrooms, chicken sausage, and crispy potatoes, make this savory dish a perfect brunch, brinner, or anytime meal! Throw in your favorite add-ins (or, lets be honest, whatever you  find in your fridge) - it always turns out great!
⠀⠀
.
⠀⠀
Ingredients: •3-4 medium Yukon gold or russet potatoes, grated •3 bell peppers, diced •1/2 yellow onion, diced •2 cups mushrooms, sliced •uncured sausage, sliced (we ❤️ @traderjoes spicy jalapeño chicken sausage) •olive oil •seasoned salt and pepper, to taste ⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀
.
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
Directions: Grate potatoes; place in a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain and pat to remove excess water. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium and and add potatoes with a 1/8 tsp each, seasoned salt and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender (approx. 12-15 mins). While potatoes are cooking, sauté onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and sausages in a separate pan, and combine with potatoes once potatoes are done. Season with additional seasoned salt, pepper, and serve! Note: you can cook this “one skillet” but it will take longer as the veggies let off water and it will take longer to brown your potatoes. We cook our veggies together, sausage on its own, and then add all to the potatoes. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
