BimBimBap Bowl
(makes 3 to 4 Servings)
Ingredients
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small zucchini, long, thin slices
1 yellow squash, round thin slices
1 red onion, thinly sliced
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 ear of corn, grilled and then sliced from the cob
2 tablespoons vegetable broth, divided
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
4 cups brown rice, cooked
1/3 cup of vegan kimchi
1 tomato, sliced
1 scallion, thinly sliced
3 to 4 radishes, thinly sliced
Sauce:
4 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon date paste
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Directions:
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the pepper, zucchini, red onion, and corn in vegetable broth and then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper (optional). Grill, flipping from time to time, until soft and with grill marks.
After the corn has cooled, slices the corn off the cob and set aside.
Divide the warm rice between 4 bowls and top with the grilled veggies (make it pretty), kimchi, tomatoes, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve with the sauce.
Spicy Sriracha Green Beans
(Makes 3 to 4 servings)
Ingredients:
1-pound green beans, washed + trimmed
Sauce
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (gluten-free or regular)
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha plus extra to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1-2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Vegetable broth, as needed.
Directions:
Fill a large pan with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Add green beans and blanch for 3 minutes.
While the green beans cook, fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Next whisk together your sauce by combining soy sauce, sweet chili sauce and Sriracha.
Drain your green beans and then add them to an ice water bath to halt the cooking process, then drain once cool. This takes about a minute.
Reduce burner to medium heat and sauté minced garlic and a tablespoon of the vegetable broth for 30 seconds, or until fragrant and simmering, then return your green beans to the pan. Mix well to coat the green beans with the garlic. Add your sauce ingredients and allow to simmer for a couple minutes, uncovered, to thicken the sauce. One desired tenderness is reached they're ready to eat!

THE MOST ORGANIZED MAN IN AMERICA
Is Andrew Mellen the organizational world’s best-kept secret?!
From directing actors on stage to directing people in their lives, Andrew Mellen just might be … although his client roster—which includes American Express, the New York Mets, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, and Goldman Sachs—suggests he’s hardly a secret at all.
Speaking on such well-known stages as TEDx and SXSW, being named the Wall Street Journal and Audible best-selling author of Unstuff Your Life!, The Most Organized Man in America's Guide to Moving, and Calling Bullsh*t on Busy, Andrew attributes his wild success to his straightforward (read: no-B.S.) and fun approach.
“Getting and staying organized is actually pretty simple—it’s just not always easy because of the stories we tell ourselves.
The good news is that with me, there are no metaphors to decode or breadcrumb trails you’ve got to follow or figure out to understand what I’m talking about.
By changing the way you think about, feel about, and interact with stuff, you’re going to change your mindset and then your behavior.
And once you do that, everything else immediately transforms, too.
You’ll release clutter, gain back lost time, and say goodbye to every form of materialistic drama for good. Guaranteed.”
For a taste of what working with him feels like, sign up for his De-Stress Your Mess Challenge, a 5-day challenge designed to address your mindset AND the biggest clutter hotspots most people struggle with.
Those include papers and filing, clothes and closets, kitchens and pantries, sentimental objects, mental health, ADHD and other neurodivergencies, hoarding tendencies and all the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we all undermine our best efforts to change our lives for the better.
And to make attending the Challenge even more compelling, the grand prize for participating in the De-Stress Your Mess Challenge is an all-expenses-paid trip by Andrew to your location, anywhere in the USA, for one free full day of onsite work.
Imagine how much you could get done, working 1-1 with “The Most Organized Man in America?!”

Join ‘Plant Fueled with Dr. Niki Davis!’ LIVE on Chef AJ every 1st Friday of the month for cooking demonstrations, Q&A’s, and educational presentations.
Today Dr. Davis will make a simple and delicious vegan version of a beloved Mexican dish - black bean enfrijoladas!
The recipe:
Vegan Black Bean Enfrijoladas
Makes enough for 3-4 people
Ingredients:
Two 15 oz cans black beans (look for oil free, low sodium, and organic if possible)
White or yellow 6” corn tortillas (look for oil free, minimal ingredients) - you’ll need about 3-4 tortillas per person
Your favorite toppings: avocado, tomato, green onions, red onions, chopped greens, etc
Blend the undrained beans in a blender.
Pour into a high-sided large pan.
Heat over stove on medium until blended beans are nice and hot!
While the beans are heating, heat up your corn tortillas on a non-stick pan (both sides) on medium heat.
Once the tortillas and beans are both hot, dip the tortilla into the blended beans completely, then remove and place folded in half onto a plate. Repeat until you have 3-4 folded tortillas on the plate.
Add desired toppings and voila! Enjoy while hot.
