I enjoy it way more than I think I do. A simple, light sauté leaves it tender, but still crisp and fresh. I find it turns out best when I cook it a bit less time than I think I should. Less is more with this guy! I’ve made the mistake of cooking the hell out of it in the past and it’s something I try not to repeat.</p><h3>Nutrition Facts about Asparagus</h3><ul><li>Look for firm spears that don’t bend easily. Asparagus doesn’t tend to last very long, so it’s best consumed within 48 hours of purchasing. When you bring it home, wrap the stems in a damp paper towel to extend freshness.</li><li>Asparagus may aid in digestion thanks to its inulin content which is said to function as a “prebiotic”</li><li>In 1 cup of raw asparagus you’ll receive Vitamin K (69.6% Daily Value), Vitamin A (20.2% DV), Folate (17.4% DV), Iron (15.7% DV), Vitamin B1 (12.6% DV), Vitamin C (12.5% DV), 3 grams protein, 2.75 grams fibre, and more.</li><li>It can act as a diuretic causing you to lose more fluid than normal. Be sure to get enough water throughout the day.</li><li>Asparagus is anti-inflammatory thanks to its large composition of anti-inflammatory nutrients.</li><li>Source: World’s Healthiest Foods</li></ul><p>Since spring produce seems to be picking up speed around here, I’m celebrating my first spring recipe of the season today – a warm spring salad featuring asparagus, leek, peas, strawberries, and lots of parsley all tossed in a simple lemon olive oil dressing. Easy, light, and super refreshing. If you’d like to add even more protein than what the quinoa + veggies provide I’m sure it would be nice with some white beans, chickpeas, or French lentils thrown in too. Eric also suggested we sprinkle some seeds on top – pumpkin and hemp – and that was a very nice addition!</p><p>Keep in mind that the strawberries will turn the quinoa a pinkish hue once tossed. If this is a concern or if you are making this in advance, I suggest adding the strawberries on just before serving.</p><p>Cheers to crunchy, fresh spring salads!</p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-68859" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Strawberries and Peas" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad23.jpg" alt="" width="595" height="445" border="0" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad23.jpg 595w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad23-360x269.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px" /> <img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-68860" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Leeks" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad24.jpg" alt="Leeks" width="595" height="445" border="0" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad24.jpg 595w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad24-360x269.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px" /> <img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-68861" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Strawberries Mixed with Asparagus, leeks, and Quinoa" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad25.jpg" alt="Strawberries Mixed with Asparagus, leeks, and Quinoa" width="594" height="445" border="0" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad25.jpg 594w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/warmspringsalad25-360x270.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px" /> <img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-68862" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Lemon Olive Oil Dressing" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/springsaladvegan-3625.jpg" alt="Lemon Olive Oil Dressing" width="595" height="892" border="0" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/springsaladvegan-3625.jpg 595w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/springsaladvegan-3625-360x540.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px" /><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-68863" style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Warm Spring Salad in a Skillet" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/springsaladvegan-3631.jpg" alt="Warm Spring Salad in a Skillet" width="595" height="892" border="0" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/springsaladvegan-3631.jpg 595w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/springsaladvegan-3631-360x540.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px" /></p><p>If you like the look of this salad be sure to check out some of my other great Spring salads:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://ohsheglows.com/golden-beet-salad-with-shallots-parsley-and-orange-miso-dressing/">Golden Beet Salad with Shallots, Parsley, and Orange Miso</a></p></li><li><p> </p><p><a href="https://ohsheglows.com/citrus-beet-salad-with-creamy-avocado-lime-dressing/">Citrus Beet Salad with Creamy Avocado Lime Dressing</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://ohsheglows.com/roasted-potato-and-asparagus-lentil-salad-with-tangy-mustard-lemon-dressing/">Roasted Potato and Asparagus Lentil Salad with Tangy Mustard-Lemon Dressing</a></p></li></ul> <a name="#recipe"></a> <a name="#recipe_34"></a> <article id="recipe_34" class="recipe-content clear" itemid="#recipe_34"> <div class="recipe_image"> </div> <header> <h2 class="recipe-title text-adjust">Warm Spring Salad</h2> <div class="food-prefs"><span class="food-prefs">Vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free</span></div> <img decoding="async" src="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/plugins/osg-recipes/images/ornament_long_artichoke.png" alt=""> <div class="recipe_numbers"> <h6 class="first cols-3" style="width: 33%;" class="first">Yield<br><span class="yield">4 Servings</span></h6> <h6 class="cols-3" style="width: 33%;">Prep time<br><span>30 minutes</span></h6> <h6 class="cols-3" style="width: 33%;">Cook time<br><span>25 minutes</span></h6> <h6 class="display-none">Total time<br><span>55 minutes</span></h6> </div> </header> <div class="middle"> <div class="head_note"><div class="summary"><p>I’m celebrating my first spring recipe of the season with this warm spring salad featuring asparagus, leek, peas, strawberries, and parsley all tossed in a simple lemon olive oil dressing.

Roasted potatoes and asparagus are folded into the salad along with a tangy mustard-lemon dressing. I also roasted the red onion, but I think next time I might leave the onion raw for a fresh crunch. I imagine this salad would also be fantastic with some cooked quinoa mixed in or using any seasonal vegetables you prefer. The dressing makes a lot - 2/3 cup - so I prefer to stir in half of the dressing into the salad and then serve the rest of the dressing on the side to drizzle on top. This dressing is inspired by one I came across in It's All Good. </p></div></div> <h4>Ingredients</h4> <h5>FOR THE SALAD:</h5><ul class="ingredients"><li class="ingredient">1 cup uncooked French green lentils/du Puy lentils (about 2 1/2 cups cooked)</li><li class="ingredient">3 medium yellow potatoes, diced (about 3 1/2 cups)</li><li class="ingredient">1 bunch asparagus, ends broken off and chopped</li><li class="ingredient">1/2 medium red onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)</li><li class="ingredient">1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided</li><li class="ingredient">handful minced fresh dill, for garnish (optional)</li></ul><h5>FOR THE DRESSING (makes 2/3 cup):</h5><ul class="ingredients"><li class="ingredient">2 tablespoons coarse seeded/old fashioned mustard (see photo in post)</li><li class="ingredient">2 tablespoons Dijon mustard</li><li class="ingredient">4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil</li><li class="ingredient">3-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, to taste</li><li class="ingredient">pinch or two fine grain sea salt or pink salt</li><li class="ingredient">up to 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup, to taste (optional)</li></ul> <h4>Directions</h4> <div class="instructions"><ol> <li>Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.</li> <li>Rinse lentils in a fine mesh sieve. Place lentils in a medium pot along with 3 cups of water. Bring water to a boil and then reduce heat to medium and simmer the lentils for about 18-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain off water and season lentils with salt (such as Herbamare).</li> <li>Place chopped potatoes on one baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Toss to coat and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.</li> <li>Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place the asparagus on the other baking sheet (and the red onion if you prefer to roast it too - see headnote) and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp. oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.</li> <li>After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, flip the potatoes and return them to the oven along with the asparagus (and red onion if you are roasting that) for another 12-15 minutes. The potatoes should be golden on the bottom when ready and the asparagus will be tender. Add roasted veggies into a large bowl along with the lentils and gently toss to combine.</li> <li>Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by whisking all of the dressing ingredients together. I love a tangy dressing with a bite so I used 4 tbsp. lemon juice. If you prefer a less acidic dressing you might want to add more olive oil or you can also experiment with adding a touch of maple syrup (the sweetness will offset a bit of the bite). It's definitely a dressing you can play around with!</li> <li>Pour half of the dressing onto the veggies and lentils in the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the salad warm with a garnish of fresh dill (optional), with the rest of the dressing served on the side.</li></ol></div> <div id="nutrition_info" class="nutrition_info"> <h4>Nutrition Information</h4> <span class="clear">(click to expand)</span> <div style="display:none;">Serving Size 1 of 4 servings | Calories 430 calories | Total Fat 18 grams<br />Saturated Fat 2.5 grams | Sodium 380 milligrams | Total Carbohydrates 51 grams<br />Fiber 9 grams | Sugar 5 grams | Protein 14 grams<br /><i>* Nutrition data is approximate and is for informational purposes only.</i></div> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="user_functions"> <span class="osg_user_button" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://ohsheglows.com/print-recipe?id=947');

Of everything. My love affair started with a classic pink Polaroid camera and I would save up my allowance to buy new film.</p> <p>Once I got my first point and shoot digital camera, I rarely left home without it. My family would always teasingly call me, ‘the little tourist’ because I took pictures of EVERYTHING…every moment…everyone…nothing could escape my wrath!</p> <p>I never expected that my love for photography would blossom into a real hobby in my adult life. Eric bought a Canon DSLR back in 2007 and I was so intimidated by it, I didn’t start using it for my blog photos for over two years! Over time, he was able to convince me (and show me) the difference a professional camera (and lens) could make in a photo with the right knowledge.</p> <p>So why all this camera talk? Well, after my carrot loaf shoot yesterday it really hit me how much I love food photography. Nothing is better than looking on the camera screen and getting excited by the shots.</p> <p>Ok, ok, it also helped that I took a nibble of this loaf and it tasted great!</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="328" src="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4748-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-49386" title="IMG_4748-2" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4748-2.jpg 550w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4748-2-360x215.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></figure> <p>I kept telling myself, <em>do not eat the slice, do not eat the slice</em>…and then I was like<em> ‘forget that’</em> and I took a bite!

Mix until just combined.</li> <li> Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth evenly with a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top of the loaf and press them gently into the surface. </li> <li> Bake for 40 to 50 minutes (I bake for 45 minutes) until the loaf springs back slowly when touched and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. </li> <li> Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Combine the cashew butter, coconut cream, maple syrup, lemon zest, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend or process until smooth. If it's too thick you can thin it with a bit of almond milk.</li> <li> After baking, place the loaf on a rack to finish cooling.

I’ve used light olive oil with success as well. If you use melted coconut oil, be sure that the rest of your wet ingredients are at room temperature to avoid seizing the oil.</p><p><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span> I expect all-purpose spelt flour will work just fine here too. Whole wheat pastry flour or sifted whole wheat flour should also work fine, but they may require extra baking time.</p><p><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span> Please use the thick, full-fat white cream found at the top of the can.</p><p>Make it nut-free: Omit the walnuts to make this loaf nut-free. For a super-fast, nut-free lemon glaze you can whisk 1/2 cup powdered icing sugar with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or more to taste).</p> <div id="nutrition_info" class="nutrition_info"> <h4>Nutrition Information</h4> <span class="clear">(click to expand)</span> <div style="display:none;">Serving Size 1 of 10 slices | Calories 350 calories | Total Fat 19 grams<br />Saturated Fat 3 grams | Sodium 200 milligrams | Total Carbohydrates 39 grams<br />Fiber 5 grams | Sugar 15 grams | Protein 6 grams<br /><br /><i>Nutritional info includes lemon glaze and walnuts.

Glaze from <a href="http://blissfullyvegan.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/road-trip-carrot-loaf/">Blissfully Vegan</a>. </p> <p><strong>Yield:</strong> 1 small loaf, eight 1-inch slices</p> <p><u><strong>Ingredients:</strong></u></p> <ul><li>1.5 cups finely grated carrot, unpacked</li> <li>1 tbsp ground flax seed</li> <li>1/2 cup pure maple syrup</li> <li>3/4 cup almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)</li> <li>1/3 cup light extra virgin olive oil (or oil of choice)</li> <li>1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract</li> <li>1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar</li> <li>2 tsp freshly grated lemon zest</li> <li>1.5 cups whole grain spelt flour</li> <li>2 tsp ground cinnamon</li> <li>1/2 tsp ground ginger</li> <li>2 tsp baking powder</li> <li>1/2 tsp baking soda</li> <li>1/4 tsp kosher salt</li> <li>1/2 cup raisins, soaked for 10 minutes & drained</li> <li>1/4 cup walnuts, chopped</li></ul> <p><u>Lemon glaze</u>: 1/2 cup icing sugar whisked with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (or to taste)</p> <p><strong>Directions:</strong> </p> <ol><li>Preheat oven to 350F and line a <u><strong>small</strong></u> loaf pan (20cm x11cm x 6cm) with parchment. Lightly grease the parchment and sides of pan with oil and set aside. Note that the original recipe used an 8”x8” square pan so that would also work.</li> <li>In a medium bowl, mix together the grated carrot, ground flax, pure maple syrup, almond milk, oil, vanilla, vinegar, and lemon zest. Set aside for at least two minutes while you gather the dry ingredients.</li> <li>In another large sized bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder & soda, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few dry spots may remain). Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts. Be careful not to overmix as spelt is a very delicate flour.</li> <li>Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350F for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, and then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle on lemon glaze just before serving. Serves eight 1” slices. May be frozen. </li></ol> <p>I made this loaf for our family <strong>Easter get together</strong> this weekend. I froze the loaf (just until the glaze froze), and then wrapped it tightly two times with plastic wrap and placed it into an air-tight container. It should keep nice and fresh for Saturday!</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="354" src="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4720.jpg" alt="IMG_4720" class="wp-image-49387" title="IMG_4720" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4720.jpg 550w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4720-360x232.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></figure> <p>I was also amazed at how much impact something as simple as a glaze could make in a photo.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="357" src="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4726.jpg" alt="IMG_4726" class="wp-image-49388" title="IMG_4726" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4726.jpg 550w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4726-360x234.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="550" src="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4743-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-49389" title="IMG_4743-2" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4743-2.jpg 550w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4743-2-360x360.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></figure> <p>The glaze just makes the loaf look so much more interesting, doesn’t it?

If you are not a lemon fan, I’m sure you can sub almond milk (or any milk) for the lemon juice and create a traditional glaze. I’m sure the glaze would also be very good with a pinch of <strong>cinnamon</strong> in it too!</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="367" src="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4748.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-49391" title="IMG_4748" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4748.jpg 550w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/IMG_4748-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></figure><p>The post <a href="https://ohsheglows.com/whole-grain-vegan-carrot-cake-loaf-with-lemon-glaze/">Whole-Grain Vegan Carrot Cake Loaf with Lemon Glaze</a> appeared first on <a href="https://ohsheglows.com">Oh She Glows</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://ohsheglows.com/whole-grain-vegan-carrot-cake-loaf-with-lemon-glaze/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>210</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Flax Glowballs</title> <link>https://ohsheglows.com/flax-glowballs/</link> <comments>https://ohsheglows.com/flax-glowballs/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Angela Liddon (Oh She Glows)]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 01 Aug 2023 20:55:32 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Energy Bars/Balls]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SKIP-RSS]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://ohsheglows.com/?p=80409</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The chopped almonds give them a little crunch too and the cup of flax lends an earthy, nutty flavour with a hint of sweetness.

You may want to use a bit less spice depending on your preference - add it slowly to taste and you can’t go wrong!

I hope you’re doing well and staying safe out there. This post is a shift from my usual recipe-related content, but it’s one I’ve been asked to do for ages now and I’m happy to finally have this post put together. It’s a bit of a beast! Be sure to see the bottom of this blog post because I’m announcing a fun live event in celebration of <a href="https://ohsheglows.com/book/"><em>Oh She Glows for Dinner</em></a> (which launches next week!). I hope you’ll <a href="https://www.crowdcast.io/e/in-conversation-angela/" rel="nofollow sponsored">join us on Oct 14th at 7pm EST</a>!!</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Skin care is such a personal journey, and I certainly don’t expect that what I do will work for you or that you should follow my routines because we all have vastly different skin care needs. That said, I personally love seeing skin care routines that other people follow (it’s a bit of an obsession in recent years). I hope you enjoy this post too!</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a teenager, I remember using strong acne cleansers and ointments that would strip my skin. And super coarse scrubs. I suffered from tons of bad breakouts in my teen years and just felt so insecure most of the time. I wish I could give that girl a big hug. Needless to say, my skin care has evolved over the years as I’ve learned more about my changing skin and which products and ingredients are effective for me. I actually didn’t get into a formal skin care routine until the past couple of years. When Adriana and Arlo were younger, I was lucky if I washed my face and threw on moisturizer before bed because I was so tired. I was also trying to solve ongoing allergic reactions so I was super careful about introducing new products and rarely ever did. If you are in a similar phase of life, be kind to yourself and don’t worry about having the perfect routine, or heck, <em>a routine at all</em>. Do what makes you happy and works for you, whatever stage you are in. Now that my kids are a bit older (and I seem to have figured out, at least in part, what was causing my allergic reactions), I’ve been loving getting back into skin care again because it helps me slow down and take some time for self-care. It’s a favourite part of my day!! </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Without further ado, here are the cruelty-free products I’m using lately. I’ve also shared my AM and PM routines below. Keep in mind I am in no way claiming to be a skin care expert by any stretch of the imagination; I just love learning about it and consider this an evolving personal journey!</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As always, this post is <strong>not</strong> sponsored.

I start with a rich cleansing balm, then move on to the jelly cleanser as my second cleanse. In the morning, I only use the jelly cleanser since my skin doesn’t need much cleansing.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://ca.theinkeylist.com/products/oat-cleansing-balm?_pos=1&_sid=3fa5c7d95&_ss=r" rel="nofollow sponsored">The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm</a> (150 mL: $12.99 CAD/$9.76 USD; <em>this product contains no animal derivatives, however they are not yet vegan certified</em>)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This ultra-thick and rich cleansing balm is often sold out and for good reason. It’s <em>so</em> luxurious to use (I love to give myself a little facial massage when I use it). It has a fantastic price point for a cleansing balm, and I find that it calms my skin down and makes it softer! I do have one complaint about this balm – the balm is very hard to squeeze out of the tube..I’m talking major arm workout. I hope the brand improves the packaging for this in the future. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.herbivorebotanicals.com/products/pink-cloud-rosewater-tremella-creamy-jelly-cleanser" rel="nofollow sponsored">Herbivore Pink Cloud Rosewater + Tremella Creamy Jelly Cleanser</a> (100 mL: $32 CAD/$24 USD, <em>vegan</em>)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I like that this cleanser doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry!

I also wear hats religiously when outdoors…you’ll almost never find me outside without a hat on. When I’m outside in the summer during peak UV hours, I wear a goofy-looking wide brim hat, add a fresh layer of facial SPF, and mineral-based sunscreen on my body. Even though I can’t take away all those years I used to tan when I was younger (whyyyy, Ange, whyyy?), I’ve vowed to protect my skin now and in the future. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After finding out that my previous Paula’s Choice go-to sunscreen was not completely mineral-based like I thought it was (huge thanks for a couple OSG readers for mentioning this!), I set out on a quest to find my perfect physical sunscreen. I really like the tinted one linked above by EltaMD because it doesn’t leave a white cast. Unfortunately, the tint is a bit too dark for my skin tone. I now mix the EltaMD one with Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 (also linked above) and I’m OBSESSED. I can create the perfect custom shade to match my skin. The finish when mixing these two sunscreens is also more matte compared to the EltaMD sunscreen used alone. When used together, they also make my complexion look more even toned. </span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76345" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-2-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-2-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-2-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3>Night Cream </h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A thick moisturizer is the final step in my evening skin care routine and locks in my serums. I’m actually between night creams at the moment as a cream I love (Herbivore Pink Cloud Moisture Cream, <em>vegan and pictured in this post</em>) may have been discontinued (although I’ve seen that you can still find it at some physical Sephora locations). I also love Drunk Elephant’s Protini Polypeptide Cream (vegan), but I’m not a fan of the packaging. </span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76289" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-14-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-14-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-14-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3>Oils</h3><p><a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6180&awinaffid=406704&clickref=&ued=https%3A%2F%2Ftheordinary.deciem.com%2Fproduct%2Frdn-100pct-organic-cold-pressed-rose-hip-seed-oil-30ml" rel="nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (30 mL: $9.80 CAD/USD, <em>vegan</em>)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don’t use many oils, but this is a go-to of mine which I use some evenings. It gives the skin a nice glow! When my skin is looking extra thirsty, I’ll add a couple drops of this into my evening moisturizer or layer it underneath my moisturizer.</span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76354" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-9-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-9-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-9-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3>Masks</h3><p><a href="https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/violet-c-radiance-mask-P420699" rel="nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tatcha Violet-C Radiance mask</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (50 mL: $117 CAD/$88 USD)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This new-to-me mask contains vitamin C as well as AHA’s from 7 different fruits (shown in mirror photo above). The biggest benefit I’ve noticed with this mask is that it makes the skin feel very smooth and is moisturizing. It’s a great one to use before makeup for a smooth application. I’ve noticed subtle brightening, but not as much brightening as I was hoping. Because of this and the high price point, I’m not sure whether I will repurchase it. I do like it overall, so I’ll have to see if something better comes along..I always like trying new things out! </span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76321" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-6-1-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-6-1-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-6-1-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3>Chemical & enzyme exfoliants </h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since I don’t use any chemical exfoliants in my current daily AM or PM skincare routines, I like to get in one of these peels once a week. I always patch test new products, but this is especially important with peels. The Ordinary has a handy guide to patch testing <a href="https://theordinary.deciem.com/patchtest" rel="nofollow sponsored">here</a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://theordinary.deciem.com/product/rdn-lactic-acid-10pct-ha-2pct-30ml?redir=1&awc=6180_1601494007_d5408e3a3ffc0872660bfea6b94923da&utm_source=awin&utm_medium=Affiliates&utm_campaign=2019-07-26-Oh+She+Glows&utm_term=na&utm_content=na-na-na" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA</a> (30 mL: $6.80 CAD/USD, <em>vegan</em>)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I primarily use this lactic acid for KP (Keratosis Pilaris), which I’ve struggled with on the back of my arms. Its gentle chemical exfoliation really helps smooth and soften bumpy skin with regular use and it keeps the skin hydrated at the same time. I tend to forget about applying it, but when I’ve used it regularly (every other day), it has really helped smooth my arms! Of course, you can also use this on your face, too, and it comes in an even more gentle 5% concentration, if need be. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://theordinary.deciem.com/product/rdn-aha-30pct-bha-2pct-peeling-solution-30ml?redir=1&awc=6180_1601493706_4f4045ee43cedb5c002634471dd73c6e&utm_source=awin&utm_medium=Affiliates&utm_campaign=2019-07-26-Oh+She+Glows&utm_term=na&utm_content=na-na-na" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution</a> (30 mL: $7.20 USD, <em>vegan</em>)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a really effective chemical exfoliation for my skin, but you have to be careful with it as it’s not for everyone. Before using, I patch tested this peel on my inner forearm for 10 minutes (the max recommended time). Then I waited 24 hours to see if a reaction formed. When my skin didn’t react, I applied it to my face for just 1 minute for the first use. For the second use, a week or two later, I left it on for 2 to 3 minutes, and I worked my way up from there, very slowly. I’ve used at home chemical exfoliants in the past without issue and my skin has no problems with this mask at the recommended ‘up to 10 minute’ time, but I wouldn’t recommend it for sensitive skin types. The Ordinary says, “It is only suitable for experienced users of acid exfoliation.” It’s also important to make sure your skin is dry before application – there should be no water on the skin. Anyway, this mask makes my skin absolutely glowing and smooth…it’s truly a ride or die for me. I find that I only need to keep it on for 5 to 8 minutes max for great results…less is more. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AlumierMD Enzymatic Peel</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This lovely enzyme peel mask contains 10% lactic acid with fruit enzymes for a gentle but effective exfoliation. I purchased it from my sister Kristi who is a trained skin care specialist with AlumierMD and is so knowledgeable about skincare! I find you only need to leave this enzyme mask on for a few minutes, so it’s nice when you find yourself short on time.

Summer Fridays says it’s a “silky vegan lip mask that hydrates and soothes parched lips while sealing in moisture.” I would have to agree. I’ve tried quite a few vegan balms and this one is my favourite so far. I use it morning and night…and before going outside in chilly weather! </p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76303" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-18-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-18-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ohsheglowsfavoriteskincareproducts_crueltyfree-18-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3>Light-emitting diodes (LED) low-level light therapy</h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7F6R6T?tag=ohshgl-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored">Project E Beauty Photon Face Rejuvenation Face & Neck Mask</a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> ($260 CAD/$195 USD)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s getting CREEPY up in here! I’ll start with what I <em>don’t</em> love about this LED mask and I’ll end with what I do love. Don’t love: the mask </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">is heavy on the face (particularly on the bridge of the nose). I use the LED mask while lying down in bed and I hold the mask slightly lifted off the bridge of my nose. I’ve found that if I keep my upper arm resting on the bed (rather than suspended in the air) my arm doesn’t get <em>that</em> tired, but it’s still a bit of an annoyance. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Okay, now onto what I love about it and what has made me stick with it—I’ve seen results. And I mean, my expectations were low. I use this diligently for 20 minutes, 5 to 6 times a week, and I’ve noticed that it has slightly plumped and firmed my skin over the past few months. My skin also feels smoother and softer to the touch. I love that this mask comes with a neck attachment. My neck used to be quite rough in texture and now it feels softer and is visibly smoother. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At first, I thought I was imagining the results and wondered if the results were actually from my <em>skincare products</em>, so I decided to try a little experiment. I tried this LED light on my thigh/knee area where I don’t use any serums. Lo and behold it had the same effect – skin softening and slight plumping. So, I’m pretty sure that the red LED light is doing some good things for my skin (consistent use is key). While this LED mask has a lot of wavelength options, I only use the red light which can help boost collagen production and it’s the one I have seen the most research backing (such as <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3926176/" rel="nofollow sponsored">here</a>, <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28195844/" rel="nofollow sponsored">here</a>, and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4126803/" rel="nofollow sponsored">here</a>). The added benefit of using this device is that it has forced me to relax for 20 mins at a time – something I never used to make time for. Now I look forward to relaxing on my bed, closing my peepers, and kicking back while listening to various Youtube channels (about as close to meditation as I will likely get, but I’ll take it!). Anyway, I’m not totally happy with this product since it is uncomfortable on the bridge of my nose, so my advice would be to look into various brands. </span></p><p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: I recently purchased this flexible <a href="https://www.aduroled.com/product/aduro-7-1-led-face-mask/" rel="nofollow sponsored">Aduro 7+1 LED Face Mask</a> after a blog reader highly recommended it and I’m loving it. It’s so much more comfortable than the Project E Beauty mask that I have been using for the past 6 months. The downside? It’s pricey and the import/duty fee set me back $100 CAD. The upside? The product arrived in only 3 days from the time I hit submit on my order. </p><h3>My AM + PM skin care routines</h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lately, I rotate between the following morning and evening routines. In other words, from the lists below, I pick <em>only one</em> morning routine and <em>only one</em> evening routine per day. I try to rotate them fairly evenly. The products in each routine are listed in order of use/application, too. For example, if I list NIOD Re:pigment </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">before</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The Ordinary’s niacinamide, it means I apply Re:pigment first, let it soak in for about 30 to 60 seconds, then apply niacinamide afterwards. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I created these routines by chatting with DECIEM consultants to determine which products can be combined (and in what order to layer them), and which ones should not be combined. I also love to refer to <a

These lovely pumpkin cookies are lightly crispy around the edges, tender and chewy in the middle, and the perfect light-tasting base for my Fluffy Pumpkin Pie Spice Buttercream. My recipe tester, Nicole, says they are like “airy, pumpkin spiced clouds with a delightful outer shell to sink your teeth into!” If you aren’t in the mood for frosting, and prefer a lightly sweet, wholesome-tasting cookie, they also taste great without the buttercream. You can use store bought pumpkin pie spice for convenience, or this recipe for <a href="https://ohsheglows.com/homemade-pumpkin-pie-spice-mix/" target="_blank">Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix</a>. In the Tips section, I’ve provided sifted whole-grain spelt and all-purpose white flour swap options for the white/light spelt flour. Be sure to check them out before you begin as the flour substitutions aren’t direct 1:1 swaps. This recipe is adapted from my <a href="https://ohsheglows.com/easy-vegan-sugar-cookies/" target="_blank">Easy Vegan Sugar Cookies with Pink Frosting</a>. </p></div></div> <h4>Ingredients</h4> <h5>For the wet ingredients:</h5><ul class="ingredients"><li class="ingredient">3 tablespoons (45 mL) grapeseed oil</li><li class="ingredient">3 tablespoons (45 mL) pure maple syrup</li><li class="ingredient">1/4 cup (60 mL) unsweetened pumpkin purée</li><li class="ingredient">2 tablespoons (30 mL) brown rice syrup</li><li class="ingredient">1 1/2 teaspoons ground flaxseed</li><li class="ingredient">1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract</li></ul><h5>For the dry ingredients:</h5><ul class="ingredients"><li class="ingredient">3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (83 g) almond flour<span class="gold">*</span></li><li class="ingredient">1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (127 g) white/light all-purpose spelt flour<span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span></li><li class="ingredient">3 tablespoons (27 g) arrowroot starch</li><li class="ingredient">1/4 cup (60 g) natural cane sugar</li><li class="ingredient">1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice</li><li class="ingredient">1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt</li><li class="ingredient">1/2 teaspoon baking soda</li></ul><h5>For the Fluffy Pumpkin Pie Spice Buttercream:</h5><ul class="ingredients"><li class="ingredient">1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (75 g) soy-free vegan butter</li><li class="ingredient">1 1/2 cups (190 g) powdered icing sugar, sifted if necessary</li><li class="ingredient">1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice</li><li class="ingredient">Pinch fine sea salt</li><li class="ingredient">Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, for garnish (optional)</li></ul> <h4>Directions</h4> <div class="instructions"><ol> <li>Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line one extra-large baking sheet (or two medium-sized sheets) with parchment paper.</li> <li>To a small bowl, add the wet ingredients: grapeseed oil, maple syrup, pumpkin purée, brown rice syrup, ground flax, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.</li> <li>To a large bowl, add the dry ingredients: almond flour, spelt flour, arrowroot starch, cane sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda. Whisk until combined.</li> <li>Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture (being sure to scoop all of the wet ingredients stuck to the sides of the bowl), and stir until it comes together into a dense, very thick dough.</li> <li>The dough will be very sticky, but this is normal! Scoop a slightly heaping 1 tablespoon of dough into your hand, and roll it into a ball. Continue with the remaining dough, placing each ball onto the baking sheet about 2 to 3 inches apart. If needed, you can lightly wet your fingers during this process. Do not flatten the balls before baking as they will spread out on their own.</li> <li>Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes until lightly golden (I like baking them until lightly golden as the edges get a bit crispy during cooling). Cool the cookies completely on the baking sheet. To speed up the cooling process, cool the cookies for 10 minutes on the pan then transfer the cookies to the fridge until completely cooled.</li> <li>Meanwhile, prepare the Fluffy Pumpkin Pie Spice Frosting: To a large bowl, add the vegan butter. Using electric beaters, beat the butter until smooth (about 30 seconds). Add the powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Starting on low speed, beat until smooth and fluffy, gradually increasing the speed as the ingredients combine. It will look <i>very</i> crumbly at first, but it will eventually come together and become fluffy. If the frosting is still too dry, you can thin it with a tiny bit of almond milk (1/2 teaspoon at a time), and continue beating until smooth. If it’s too thin, you can add a little more powdered sugar and beat again until smooth.</li> <li>Spread the frosting onto the completely cooled cookies, and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, if desired. Serve and enjoy! Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. The cookies will soften when sealed in a container.</li></ol></div> <h4>Tip:</h4><p><span class="gold">*</span> Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal which is much coarser.</p><p><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span> I prefer the white/light spelt version. If you can find some, it’s so lovely in these! If you can’t find it in the store, though, you can sift whole-grain spelt flour before using. The flour won’t be as fine and delicate as white/light spelt flour, but it will work in a pinch. To sift: place a large bowl on top of a kitchen scale, and tare the scale to zero. Spoon flour into a fine mesh sieve, and gently shake the sieve side-to-side until you have about 127 grams of sifted flour in the bowl. Discard the coarse flakes that remain in the sieve. Using sifted whole-grain spelt flour produces a more wholesome flavour and texture. Alternatively, you can use 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (127 grams) all-purpose white flour instead of white/light spelt flour. When using all-purpose white flour, the cookies will taste a bit less sweet and complex compared to spelt flour.</p><p>Flours are measured using the “scoop and shake until level” method, where you scoop the measuring cup directly into the flour and shake the cup side to side until the flour is level. I recommend weighing the flour whenever possible for the most accuracy.</p> <div id="nutrition_info" class="nutrition_info"> <h4>Nutrition Information</h4> <span class="clear">(click to expand)</span> <div style="display:none;">Serving Size 1 of 20 cookies (with frosting) | Calories 148 calories | Total Fat 6.6 grams<br />Saturated Fat 1.3 grams | Sodium 91 milligrams | Total Carbohydrates 21 grams<br />Fiber 0.9 grams | Sugar 11.5 grams | Protein 1.6 grams<br /><br /><i>1 of 20 cookies (without frosting): 88 calories, 3.6 grams total fat, 0.3 grams saturated fat, 59 milligrams sodium, 12.7 grams carbohydrates, 0.9 grams fibre, 3.3 grams sugar, 1.6 grams protein.</i><br /><i>* Nutrition data is approximate and is for informational purposes only.</i></div> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="user_functions"> <span class="osg_user_button" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://ohsheglows.com/print-recipe?id=4111'); gtag('event', 'print', { url: 'https://ohsheglows.com/perfect-little-pumpkin-cookies-with-spiced-buttercream/' });">PRINT</span> <span class="osg_user_button email_recipe" data-recipeid="4111">EMAIL</span> <span class="osg_user_button share_recipe" data-recipeid="4111">SHARE</span> <span class="osg_user_button" onclick="window.location = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname + '#respond'; return false">REVIEW</span> </div> <div class="share_functions_wrapper"> <div class="share_functions"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://ohsheglows.com/perfect-little-pumpkin-cookies-with-spiced-buttercream/&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'share', { method: 'Facebook', content_type: 'url', item_id: 'https://ohsheglows.com/perfect-little-pumpkin-cookies-with-spiced-buttercream/' });" title="Share on Facebook"> <span class="osg_user_button">Facebook</span> </a> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://ohsheglows.com/perfect-little-pumpkin-cookies-with-spiced-buttercream/&media=https://ohsheglows.com/gs_images/2020/09/Chewy-Pumpkin-Cookies00058-768x768.jpg&description=Perfect%20Little%20Pumpkin%20Cookies%20with%20Spiced%20Buttercream" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'share', { method: 'Pinterest', content_type: 'url', item_id: 'https://ohsheglows.com/perfect-little-pumpkin-cookies-with-spiced-buttercream/' });" title="Share on Pinterest" data-pin-custom="true"> <span class="osg_user_button">Pinterest</span> </a> <a href= "//twitter.com/share?text=Perfect%20Little%20Pumpkin%20Cookies%20with%20Spiced%20Buttercream&url=https://ohsheglows.com/perfect-little-pumpkin-cookies-with-spiced-buttercream/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'share', { method: 'X', content_type: 'url', item_id: 'https://ohsheglows.com/perfect-little-pumpkin-cookies-with-spiced-buttercream/' });" title="Share on X"> <span class="osg_user_button">Share on X</span> </a> </div> </div> <div class="email_form_wrapper" data-recipeid="4111"> </div> <div class="osg_recipe_email_form_error" style="display: none;"></div> <p>If you've made this recipe I'd love to see it.<br /> Tag <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ohsheglows/" target="_blank">@ohsheglows</a> on Instagram and hashtag <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/ohsheglows/" target="_blank">#ohsheglows</a> so that we can all take a look!</p> </footer> </article></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76263" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/perfectlittlepumpkincookies_065A3039.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/perfectlittlepumpkincookies_065A3039.jpg 600w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/perfectlittlepumpkincookies_065A3039-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /> <span style="font-weight: 400;">For those of you who missed my earlier announcement, Indigo is hosting a wonderful contest in celebration of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh She Glows for Dinner</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">!

How are you and your families doing right now? </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At long last, I have some fun news to share with you today! This cookbook reveal was supposed to go out to you in May, then in June, and then in early July, but with everything going on in the world it just didn’t feel right, so I delayed it multiple times. I’m not sure it feels right even now, but I’ve had a lot of questions about the new book’s listing on various retailers online, so I knew I couldn’t delay any longer. I’m holding onto the hope that this news will bring a smile to your face and a bit of cheer. :)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you haven’t guessed already, my new cookbook, </span><a href="https://ohsheglows.com/book/"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh She Glows for Dinner: Nourishing Plant-Based Meals To Keep You Glowing</span></i></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is finally complete and it comes out in a couple of short months! It’s been a wild ride to cross the finish line (never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be wrapping up a cookbook during a pandemic and lockdown), but after 3 years of working away on this project, I’m absolutely thrilled to let you know all the juicy (pun intended) deets about this new book. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you may have seen the sneak peek pop into your inbox yesterday! </span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76199" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-6-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-6-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-6-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76200" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-8-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-8-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-8-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><p>Here’s a little behind-the-scenes from earlier this year when I was going over the book design!</p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76194" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/722C7727-A562-48C4-B7DF-8BAAAE4D3674-728x368.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="368" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/722C7727-A562-48C4-B7DF-8BAAAE4D3674-728x368.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/722C7727-A562-48C4-B7DF-8BAAAE4D3674-360x182.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shifting from “behind-the-scenes” mode to “in-the-spotlight” mode doesn’t come easily for me (I’m much more of a behind-the-scenes kinda gal!), so this “launching into the world” part of the creation process is a big challenge for me on a personal level, and oh boy, the nerves I have right now are unreal. I’d be perfectly happy to work away diligently behind-the-scenes and never have to self-promote. ;) Do any of you relate? I’m always up for a good challenge, though, and getting to reconnect with you all is the icing on the vegan cake! </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This book would not have been possible without your encouragement, patience, and support throughout the whole process! It also wouldn’t have been possible without my small-but-mighty team made up of Nicole and Eric. They are my rocks, my sanity savers, my reasons for inappropriate fits of laughter, my sounding boards, my reminders to drink more caffeine and breathe, and it goes on. My incredible, diligent group of recipe testers (a special shout out and thank you to Anna, Carin, Tana, Tammy, Laurie, Caroline, Danielle, Vanessa, Lynn, Audrey, Stephanie D., Anne, Kathy, Stephanie S., Andrea, Beth, Katie, Lindsay M., Bridget, Laura, Lindsay V., Erin, Heather, Suzanne, Adrienne, Stephanie M., Carolina, Kirsten, Lori, Marina, and Kristen) have tested, and tested, and tested these recipes right alongside me and shared the most helpful feedback. And last but not least, I have so much gratitude for the amazing teams at Penguin Random House Canada and Avery! </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I held this book in my hands for the first time last week! I can’t even tell you how fast my heart was a-thumpin’ when I opened the box! It is always slightly terrifying and thrilling to open one of my books for the first time, and it really never gets any easier to send my heart and soul’s work off into the world. But I am so darn proud of this book. It’s my very first hardcover book, too!</span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76164" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinnercookbook-2-728x486.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="486" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinnercookbook-2-728x486.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinnercookbook-2-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3><strong>About this book</strong></h3><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh She Glows for Dinner </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">is a reflection of what you, my dear readers, have asked me for the most over the years</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">—more </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">plant-based, crowd-pleasing dinner recipes! </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dinner is something I think most of us have struggled with (I know I sure have!), and when you throw “plant-based” into the mix it can be even trickier to figure out. If you’ve ever shrugged your shoulders over what to make for a vegan meal and resorted to toast or a bowl of cereal, you certainly aren’t alone. I knew I had to create this cookbook to help answer the ever-burning “what’s for [plant-based] dinner?” question. As an added benefit, the recipes in this book also make incredible (and often portable) lunches! You’ll also find the perfect, satisfying sides to add to your dish, meal-worthy salads for every season, hearty & healing soups and stews, and a bounty of flavour-poppin’ sauces, dressings, parmesans, and pestos that you can make to change up the flavour profile (or simply punch up your dish even more). And I threw in a delicious dessert/drink chapter, of course, because it wouldn’t be an Oh She Glows cookbook without some sweet, healthified treats! ;)</span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76222" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinnercookbook-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinnercookbook-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinnercookbook-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3><strong>What you’ll find inside:</strong></h3><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dietary and Cooking Labels</span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each recipe indicates whether it is nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free, grain-free and/or oil-free, raw/no bake or one pot. Out of 106 vegan recipes in this cookbook, 101 are gluten-free or have a gluten-free option, 90 are nut-free or have a nut-free option, and nearly all are soy-free. I also share whether the recipe is kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, and/or if any advance prep is needed. My “on the glow” label tells you whether the recipe is portable.

Active time is the time you are actively preparing food in the kitchen. Total time reflects how long the recipe takes from start to finish. If applicable, we also share Soak time and/or Chill time.</span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76206" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/book3_grid_1440-728x906.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="906" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/book3_grid_1440-728x906.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/book3_grid_1440-360x448.jpg 360w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/book3_grid_1440-180x225.jpg 180w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Full-page colour photographs </span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am so excited to share that I did the food photography and food styling for the recipes in this book – there are more than 100 of my photographs inside! </span></p><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Glow Getter Meal Plans </span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This book includes 4 meal prep plans! Each time-saving plan provides step-by-step instructions, so you can prep or fully make 3 dinner recipes in just 60 to 90 minutes. I knew it was important to create plans that would actually work for a busy lifestyle. I’ve tried plans in the past that take 2.5 to 3 hours each week, and they just didn’t fit into my life. These plans don’t take long (60 to 90 minutes at a brisk pace) and they set you up with a few hearty meals each week!</span></p><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Menus To Get Your Glow On</span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I also share my tried-and-true menus for special occasions or themed nights, such as Girls’ Night, Mother’s Day, Game Night, The Oh She Glows Cookbook Club Night, and more. If you have ever struggled with how to combine recipes for special meals, I really hope this will give you the inspo you need to simplify your planning. Don’t forget to check out our bonus bundle below as it includes 4 designed printable menus which correspond to menus found in the book! </span></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76201" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-9-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-9-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/ohsheglowsfordinner-9-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Helpful Recipe Lists</span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My Helpful Recipe Lists index at the back of the book provides at-a-glance searching of recipes by allergy label or preference, so you can find all the gluten-free recipes grouped together in one spot, or all the kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, nut-free, one pot, and on the glow recipes. </span></p><p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">My Pantry Staples, Kitchen Tools and Appliances</span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve included a condensed list of the essential pantry items I keep on hand along with my favourite tools and appliances.

This </span><a href="https://ohsheglows.com/preorder/"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh She Glows for Dinner Bonus Bundle</span></i></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is definitely my favourite, most cheerful and creative pre-order bundle yet. All the *heart eye* emojis for this one. I had so much fun collaborating with local artist, Kayla Whitney, to create an adorable, custom </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh She Glows</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “Glow” downloadable art print for you to print and hang on your walls! This is my very first custom Oh She Glows print and it looks so bright and cheery on the wall. If you end up hanging the print in your house, we’d LOVE to see it! Simply tag it with #ohsheglowsfordinner on social media.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to the “Glow” art print, you’ll receive 4 artfully designed </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh She Glows for Dinner </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">menus to download and adorn your dinner table on special occasions. Super-handy </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Glow Getter Meal Plan</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> printables from the new book will make prepping the plans even easier when your book arrives. It’s so convenient to print the meal plans and place them on your counter so you can cross things off as you work through the plan. Lastly, I couldn’t make you wait until October to get cooking, so I’ve included 4 advance recipes in this bundle—a few of my summer-friendly ones that we’ve been enjoying during this hot season! </span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you pre-order </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh She Glows for Dinner</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, keep your receipt handy and </span><a href="https://ohsheglows.com/preorder/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">follow this link</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to get your free bonus bundle PDF! </span></h3><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76197" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/GLOWartprint_ohsheglows-728x490.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="490" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/GLOWartprint_ohsheglows-728x490.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/GLOWartprint_ohsheglows-360x242.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76208" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4recipesforbundle-2-728x245.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="245" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4recipesforbundle-2-728x245.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4recipesforbundle-2-360x121.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;">Pre-order now at the following retailers:</h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3f9ANO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon.ca</span></a></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/2CSrIMG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon.com</span></a></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/9195911/type/dlg/sid/book-page/fragment/algoliaQueryId%3D6f6d9cb980a57077ba6f4e53f075c388/https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/oh-she-glows-for-dinner/9780735238190-item.html?ikwid=oh+she+glows+for+dinner&ikwsec=Home&ikwidx=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indigo.ca</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/9195911/type/dlg/https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/oh-she-glows-for-dinner-angela-liddon/1136963792?ean=9780593083673" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barnes & Noble</span></a></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Oh-She-Glows-for-Dinner-Angela-Liddon/9780593083673?ref=grid-view&qid=1595944835007&sr=1-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Book Depository</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/9195911/type/dlg/https://www.booksamillion.com/p/Oh-She-Glows-Dinner/Angela-Liddon/9780593083673?id=7958779570143" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Books-A-Million</span></a></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://books.apple.com/book/oh-she-glows-for-dinner/id1511407529?itsct=books_toolbox&itscg=30200&at=1000ld8w"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple Books</span></a></h3><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/2WW2DHx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow sponsored"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon.co.uk</span></a></h3><p> </p><p><em>Please note: We earn a small commission if you purchase an item through our affiliate links above.

It has been so hard to find the right words for this post as my heart is breaking for the world right now. I hope you are all staying safe and doing well. How are you doing? I’m wishing you all love and strength to get through whatever challenges may be coming your way during this pandemic. We’re about to start our 7th week of “sheltering at home”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and are all doing well & taking things one day at a time.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><p><b>A gift from my heart </b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve been trying to do our part by helping the community in various ways, but I also want to do a little something personal for some of my blog readers who are working on the frontlines and in essential services during this pandemic. This idea is a small way for me to connect with you and say thank you for all that you’re doing! So that said, I’d like to mail a signed and personalized copy of my brand new cookbook (my very first hardcover….eek!), along with an <em>Oh She Glows Recipe App</em> download, to 15 frontline and essential workers located in Canada or the US. These gifts will be sent out as soon as my book launches early this fall. Side note: I almost nixed this idea because I worried there would be hard feelings if I couldn’t send one to everyone who reaches out (I will likely have a lot more than 15 emails), but I hope you’ll understand that even though I can’t send you all one, I’d still like to do this to bring a smile to some of your faces during this difficult time. (And I’ll be doing more cookbook giveaways for the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">entire</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> OSG community in the late summer and fall, too, so there will be other opportunities coming up.) You can nominate yourself or someone you know. Please send a brief email along with your city, and province or state (or your nominee’s story and location) to </span><a href="mailto:frontline@ohsheglows.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">frontline@ohsheglows.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by May 1, 2020. We’ll select 15 frontline and essential heroes and I will cover all costs of shipping, the book, etc. Due to the volume of emails we anticipate receiving, we’ll only be able to reply to those who are selected, but I want to say a huge thank you in advance for sharing your story with me and to all of you out there who are making sacrifices for your communities every day.</span></p><p><b>A little about this soup</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, I’m sharing a versatile, nutrient-packed, and pantry-friendly soup that I’ve been making for the past several weeks. I can’t tell you how much of a go-to recipe this has been while trying to juggle work deadlines and refereeing (oops, I mean parenting) and homeschooling. You can use virtually any veggies you have on hand as long as it totals about 8 cups (be sure to see the Tips in the recipe below for ideas). I’ve created both Instant Pot and stovetop versions for you as well. I love that I can throw everything into my Instant Pot, turn it on, and walk away! And the stovetop version is almost as simple…the only difference is that you’ll need to stir it a few times during cooking. I’m whipping this up twice weekly until the warm weather sets in. I hope it brings you some comfort during these trying days. I’d love to hear which veggie combos you use…my favourite combo so far is: broccoli, carrots, butternut squash, frozen green beans, and sliced cremini mushrooms. A nutrient powerhouse! I’m not joking when I say that I’m eating this daily for lunch…it helps balance out all the baked goods that I’ve been stuffing in my face…lol. </span></p><p>PS – <span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ll be sure to share a lot more details about the new book (as well as the big cover reveal!) soon.

My favourite combination of veggies is broccoli (rich in immune-boosting vitamin C), butternut squash, carrots, and frozen green beans, and I’ve detailed the amounts I use in my recipe below. You can use any veggies you love as long as it totals 8 cups of chopped veggies (see my Tip below for ideas!). I’ve also provided two different cooking methods: a hands-free Instant Pot method and a traditional (but still very easy) stovetop method. The beauty of this soup is that it’s so simple to make—we simply add the ingredients to the pot and let it cook away! The soup’s spicy flavour comes from using a generous amount of red pepper flakes. I like 2 teaspoons for a moderate, zippy heat level, but if you aren’t a fan of a lot of heat, start with 1 teaspoon and go from there. If you want to use my Instant Pot method, you can find the directions at the bottom of the Tips section. <span style="font-weight: 400;">This recipe is adapted from my </span><a href="https://ohsheglows.com/2017/07/21/8-minute-pantry-dal-two-ways/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">8-Minute Pantry Dal</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p></div></div> <h4>Ingredients</h4> <ul class="ingredients"><li class="ingredient">1 tablespoon (15 mL) coconut oil or olive oil</li><li class="ingredient">2 1/2 cups (625 mL) water</li><li class="ingredient">1 (14-ounce/398 mL) can light coconut milk</li><li class="ingredient">1 (14-ounce/398 mL) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes<span class="gold">*</span></li><li class="ingredient">3 cups (190 g) broccoli florets (1 1/2-inch florets)<span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span></li><li class="ingredient">2 cups (270 g) peeled, seeded, and chopped butternut squash (1/2-inch cubes)</li><li class="ingredient">1 1/2 cups (195 g) chopped peeled carrots (1/2-inch thick coins)</li><li class="ingredient">1 1/2 cups (160 g) frozen cut green beans<span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span></li><li class="ingredient">2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, or to taste<span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span></li><li class="ingredient">1 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste</li><li class="ingredient">1 teaspoon garlic powder</li><li class="ingredient">1 cup (170 g) uncooked red lentils</li><li class="ingredient">2 tablespoons (30 mL) apple cider vinegar, or to taste</li><li class="ingredient">Herbamare, for garnish (optional)</li></ul> <h4>Directions</h4> <div class="instructions"><ol> <li>Stovetop method: To a large pot, add the oil, water, coconut milk, diced tomatoes (with juices), broccoli, butternut squash, carrots, frozen green beans, red pepper flakes, salt (starting with 3/4 teaspoon), garlic powder, and red lentils.

Sometimes, there may be a slight separation in the soup after adding the vinegar, depending on the brand of coconut milk used. This is nothing to worry about. Season with more salt, if desired (I add another 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt, plus a bit of Herbamare). I also enjoy adding a bit more apple cider vinegar to my individual serving because I adore its tanginess in this soup. Serve and enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 to 5 days.</li></ol></div> <h4>Tip:</h4><p><span class="gold">*</span> I love fire-roasted diced canned tomatoes in this soup, but feel free to use regular canned diced tomatoes if that’s what you have.</p><p><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span> You can use practically any veggies you have on hand (most veggies should work, however, I probably wouldn’t try beets or eggplant, but maybe that’s just me). Veggies to try out: broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes, yellow or red potatoes, button mushrooms, squash, sautéed onions/garlic/celery, thickly sliced zucchini (with skin), kale, frozen peas, etc. Just make sure the chopped veggies total 8 cups. If using onion, celery, or garlic, be sure to sauté them in the oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened, before adding the remaining ingredients. I have not tested any frozen veggies besides frozen green beans, so I can't vouch for other ones working.</p><p><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span> If using French-cut frozen green beans (the thin variety), add them during the last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent them from softening too much.</p><p><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span><span class="gold">*</span> 2 teaspoons of red chili flakes results in a zippy, moderate level of heat (my fave way to make this soup!). If serving to spice-shy folks, start with 1 teaspoon (for a mild soup) and add more after cooking, if desired.</p><p>INSTANT POT METHOD:</p><p>1.To a 6-Quart (or larger) Instant Pot, add all the ingredients, except the red lentils and apple cider vinegar. Stir until combined.</p><p>2. Now, pour the red lentils evenly overtop the mixture and gently press them into the liquid with your hands or a spoon (do not stir the lentils into the mixture as this can result in a burn notice in some machines).</p><p>3. Secure the lid in the lock position and check that the Steam Release Handle is pointing to the “Sealing” position.</p><p>4. Press the “Pressure Cook” button (or “Manual”, on some machines) and set the cook time to 1 minute on high pressure. After a few seconds you’ll hear a couple beeps and the screen will say “on”. The cooking process has begun! (Pro tip: it will take about 25 minutes for the machine to come to pressure before the 1 minute timer is triggered.)</p><p>5. You’ll hear a few beeps when the 1 minute timer is up. Immediately do a “Quick Pressure Release” to avoid overcooking the soup (simply shift the Steam Release Handle to the “Venting” position to release the pressure). Once all of the pressure has been released, the float valve will sink and you won’t hear steam anymore.</p><p>6. Carefully open the lid. My Instant Pot defaults to the “keep warm” setting, so I cancel it and turn the machine off to avoid over-cooking the veggies. Stir in the apple cider vinegar (starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more from there, to taste...we love 2 tablespoons for a nice zing). Sometimes, there may be a very slight coconut milk separation in the soup after adding the vinegar. This is natural and nothing to worry about. Season each bowl with a sprinkle of salt or Herbamare, if desired, and enjoy!</p> <div id="nutrition_info" class="nutrition_info"> <h4>Nutrition Information</h4> <span class="clear">(click to expand)</span> <div style="display:none;">Serving Size 1 cup (250 mL) | Calories 201 calories | Total Fat 7.3 grams<br />Saturated Fat 5 grams | Sodium 270 milligrams | Total Carbohydrates 27.6 grams<br />Fiber 5.4 grams | Sugar 5.2 grams | Protein 8.1 grams<br /><br /><i>Nutritional analysis uses 1 teaspoon sea salt.</i><br /><i>* Nutrition data is approximate and is for informational purposes only.</i></div> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="user_functions"> <span class="osg_user_button" onclick="javascript:window.open('https://ohsheglows.com/print-recipe?id=4084'); gtag('event', 'print', { url: 'https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/' });">PRINT</span> <span class="osg_user_button email_recipe" data-recipeid="4084">EMAIL</span> <span class="osg_user_button share_recipe" data-recipeid="4084">SHARE</span> <span class="osg_user_button" onclick="window.location = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname + '#respond'; return false">REVIEW</span> </div> <div class="share_functions_wrapper"> <div class="share_functions"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'share', { method: 'Facebook', content_type: 'url', item_id: 'https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/' });" title="Share on Facebook"> <span class="osg_user_button">Facebook</span> </a> <a href="//pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/&media=https://ohsheglows.com/gs_images/2020/04/065A2491-768x768.jpg&description=Cozy%20At%20Home%20Spicy%20Any-Veggie%20Soup" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'share', { method: 'Pinterest', content_type: 'url', item_id: 'https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/' });" title="Share on Pinterest" data-pin-custom="true"> <span class="osg_user_button">Pinterest</span> </a> <a href= "//twitter.com/share?text=Cozy%20At%20Home%20Spicy%20Any-Veggie%20Soup&url=https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'share', { method: 'X', content_type: 'url', item_id: 'https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/' });" title="Share on X"> <span class="osg_user_button">Share on X</span> </a> </div> </div> <div class="email_form_wrapper" data-recipeid="4084"> </div> <div class="osg_recipe_email_form_error" style="display: none;"></div> <p>If you've made this recipe I'd love to see it.<br /> Tag <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ohsheglows/" target="_blank">@ohsheglows</a> on Instagram and hashtag <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/ohsheglows/" target="_blank">#ohsheglows</a> so that we can all take a look!</p> </footer> </article></p><p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76143" src="/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/cozyathomeanyveggiesoup-2504-1-728x485.jpg" alt="" width="728" height="485" srcset="https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/cozyathomeanyveggiesoup-2504-1-728x485.jpg 728w, https://ohsheglows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/cozyathomeanyveggiesoup-2504-1-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /></p><p>The post <a href="https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/">Cozy At Home Spicy Any-Veggie Soup</a> appeared first on <a href="https://ohsheglows.com">Oh She Glows</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://ohsheglows.com/cozy-at-home-spicy-any-veggie-soup/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>124</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
