Sometimes you want to eat breakfast and feel fancy about it. There’s no need to lift a pinky, although you can if that makes you feel dainty; rather, you can simply eat fruit salad on a skewer. The best part about these fruit salad kebabs is that you get a plethora of phytonutrients from “eating the rainbow,” as they say.

Memorial Day is just around the corner and it’s going to be a little different this year. Since social distancing orders are in place, there won’t be picnicking or large gatherings in the park or beach day celebrations with volleyball or football games. That doesn’t mean you and your family can’t have fun, though. You just have to get creative.

One of the best human traits is adaptability. We adjust our plans and roll with the punches, and we often emerge stronger and better as a result. While a giant backyard barbecue with lots of friends is out of the question, you can still recognize the holiday at home.

What Is Memorial Day All About?

Many people look forward to Memorial Day because it is a three-day weekend and an excuse to eat unhealthy foods and get drunk. It is similar to July 4^th in that regard. Memorial Day honors those who died in active military service. It takes place annually on the last Monday in May. Now that you know what it’s about, let’s give you some suggestions for a fun-filled weekend.

Have Lunch/Dinner Outside

The weather is warm (hopefully), so kick off the unofficial start of summer with a casual outdoor meal. You don’t have to get crazy with decorations; rather, keep things simple by placing some flowers in a vase to create a beautiful centerpiece. Serve up dishes that showcase seasonal flavors: greens, asparagus, and berries are in season right now! The backyard is truly the place to be this Memorial Day weekend.

Watch A Movie Outside

Nothing screams summer like an outdoor movie. Gather the family in the backyard, set up blankets and chairs, and screen a movie outside. Simple projectors are pretty affordable nowadays, and all you need is a blank wall. You can even stretch a sheet between two poles, but make sure that it is taught to avoid a wavering screen.

Play Yard Games

From corn hole and horseshoes to ring toss and water gun fights, fun yard games incorporate activity into your celebrations. There’s nothing like a little friendly competition on a day with the family. Just make sure that you keep it light and fun; there’s no need to get angry over a game of horseshoes.

Go Camping In The Yard

Camping is a Memorial Day tradition for many families. Even though campgrounds are closed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, you don’t have to sacrifice tradition this year. Get the tents out and set them up in the backyard. Sleep under the stars, tell stories, read books with a flashlight, and enjoy the company of family. If you have a fire pit, get a fire going!

Fire Up The Grill

Light that grill because grilling is one of the best activities during warm weather. You can still enjoy grill-tastic dishes even though you can’t have a bunch of friends over (you can thank Rona for that one). Use technology to your advantage and have a Zoom meeting or use FaceTime to grill with friends via a screen. Additionally, keep in mind that there are meat shortages in many parts of the country, but you don’t need meat to make delicious grilled recipes. You can find our favorite grilled recipes below. We hope you like them!

You can achieve amazing flavors by using a few simple ingredients. While mastering the balsamic glaze may take a few tries, it is a great cooking technique to have in your recipe catalog. You’ll probably have leftover glaze, which will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week.

Have you been trying to incorporate more plant-based meals in your diet, but are having difficulty creating recipes? It can be a little daunting to navigate unfamiliar territory because you may not know exactly what you can and cannot use. Rather than driving yourself crazy and immediately converting to a plant-based diet, transition into it slowly, so as not to overwhelm yourself.

Meatless Mondays are a great way to start your plant-based lifestyle. We want to help you on your quest to be a healthier individual, and your goal to make the planet last longer, so we have provided you with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert options to start your Meatless Mondays. If you want to go meatless for more than one day a week, go for it! If you have a favorite meatless recipe, let us know about it in the comments.

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, so start it off in a plant-based way! Start things out on the right foot and go with one of these three easy, simple choices.

Independence Day gives you the opportunity to show off your cooking skills and basque in the sunshine. Whether you are firing up the grill, slow cooking a labor-intensive dish, or creating an array of dips, the day is all about impressing guests, especially if you are hosting the party. Unfortunately, many of us abandon our healthy habits on Independence Day to indulge in excessive amounts of meat, chips, alcohol, sweets, and whatever else we can get our hands on.

We can almost guarantee that you are going to run into some bad foods on the 4^th of July. How you handle yourself when you encounter these foods will determine how the body feels the next day. To avoid being at war with your stomach, there a few strategies you can employ to keep yourself healthy this Independence Day.

Load Up On Grilled Veggies

You don’t have to grill meat just because you fire up the grill. You can grill onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower, or zucchini. Loading your plate with grilled vegetables will help keep your total calorie intake down and lead to an easier digestion period.

Don’t Skip Out On Exercising

The Fourth of July is a holiday, yes, but that doesn’t mean you get to take a day off from exercising. Some gyms may have limited holiday hours, but you can do fun workouts outside. Take a bike ride, go to the beach or lake and swim, go on a hike, or swim in a friend’s pool.

Don’t Skip Meals To “Save” Calories For Later

This mindset is flawed. When you don’t eat meals leading up to the party, BBQ, or cookout, you actually end up overeating and making poor food choices. If you are going to a party and don’t know what foods they will have, drink a smoothie or eat a little salad before you leave your house so that you don’t eat as much when you arrive. You can also bring a healthy dish to the party so that you can ensure you have something to eat.

If you are trying to figure out what you need to bring to a party or make for your own shindig, try out some of the following recipes for a healthier Independence Day.

Raw Vegan Cucumber Melon Salsa

This salsa is fresh, slightly sweet, a little bit spicy, and perfect for any summer day. Bring it your Fourth of July festivity and see how much people enjoy it. You may see that people just eat it without using any dipping vessels!

Grilled Marinated Eggplant

The simplest and most delicious way to enjoy eggplant is by grilling it. It’s also a blank canvas, meaning it easily adopts flavors. When you marinate the eggplant slices, you impart depth of flavor that only becomes more intense when you grill it.

Homemade Jamaican Jerk Sauce

The sun is out and the weekend is long, which means it is time to get out your grills and enjoy an afternoon of good company and even better food. Memorial Day Weekend is a classic time for backyard cookouts or picnics on the beach. We manage to turn every holiday weekend into a time to showcase your cooking talents, which is why we have put together some grill-tastic recipes.

When it comes to grilling, marinating your food is the key to success. This is especially true when you are making plant-based meals. It is important to let those vegetables soak up the flavors in the marinades, so that your food packs a savory punch in every bite. Whatever you decide to cook this weekend, we hope that the recipes (below) inspire your weekend menu.

Detox Summer Slaw

It’s not quite summer yet, but stone fruit season has begun! Peaches are one of our favorite summer fruits, and they are the perfect addition to this low-calorie, tangy, sweet, and delicious summer slaw.
