#vegan #lunchboxforkids! Our whole family went plant-based in 2024, and our preschool and elementary-aged kids have adapted so well. This picture is a fairly typical plant-based lunch box for them. We try to incorporate fruits and veggies as well as nuts, but we also do some prepackaged foods. What is most important for us is that our kids are eating plants and less-processed foods, but that doesn’t mean we avoid all pre-made foods in the store.

Pictured above: halved pre-pitted olives, carrots and guac, mandarin orange, and pb&j on whole wheat bread.

We ventured out for a day trip to West Chester, PA, and oh my word…we haven’t stopped thinking about the vegan eats at @loveagainlocal. They make everything in house (cheese, deli “meats”) and wow is it amazing! Their staff is super friendly and helpful, and we are planning our next venture out for a birthday dinner. That macaroni salad and Philly cheesesteak with seitan did NOT disappoint, and John loved their Hot Fuss sandwich with alllll the peppers, onions, and spice. Do not sleep on their homemade vegan cookies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks, Love Again Local!

A super nutrient dense dinner can be as easy as throwing lots of things in a pot and making soup! We all have some produce that is about to go bad in the fridge, and most of us have some frozen veggies in the freezer, too! What grains are needing to be used up in your pantry? Do you have some potatoes that are sprouting on a shelf?! DON’T TOSS THEM! Make soup to reduce your grocery bill AND avoid food waste.

Follow a few easy steps to make an easily customizable soup that will feed you for days (and tastes better after day 1):

1. Mirepoix: celery, onion, carrots. Chop and add to a little oil or simply water saute. I used 1 onion, 4-5 stalks celery, and 4-5 carrots. You could use up baby carrots, too!

*If you have fresh garlic to chop or press, add after the mirepoix. I forgot and so I added garlic powder with my spices later.

2. Add other chopped veggies and potatoes.

3. Throw in legumes (canned beans, precooked or raw lentils—you’ll have to adjust cooking time if lentils are raw), pasta, or other grains.

4. Add canned tomatoes if you have them.

5. Add anything frozen you have on hand: mixed veggies, okra, corn, peas, you name it.

6. Cover the ingredients with veggie broth. Ideally, go low sodium!

7. Add spices. We love cumin, garlic, paprika, and chili powder. I do 2 teaspoons of everything but the chili powder, where I use 1 Tablespoon+. Salt and pepper added to taste, or at the table.

8. Let soup reach a boil, and then simmer 30-45 min. Make sure grains are cooked through and veggies are fork tender.

You have an amazingly nutrient-dense soup on hand that will pair perfectly with crusty sourdough and a salad, and the leftovers are delicious. Enjoy the ability to use up the items in your fridge and pantry and customize to your tastes!
