↠ Baja “Fish” Bowls
– 3/4 cup dry quinoa
– 1 lemon
– 3 tbsp vegan mayo
– 2 radishes
– 1 can hearts of palm
– 1/4 cup rice flour
– 1/4 cup corn starch
– 1 tsp taco seasoning
– 1/4 cup sliced almonds
– 1/4 cup cilantro chutney

1. Cook with quinoa with 1 1/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Boil, then lower heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 12-15 minuets.
2. Cut the lemon into wedges. Using half of the lemon, squeeze the juice into the vegan mayo, add a pinch of salt, and stir. Set aside.
3. Rinse and drain the hearts of palm. Dry well, and lay on a cutting board. Using the palm of your hand, press each piece flat. Then mix together the rice flour, corn starch, and seasoning. Add 1/3 cup of water and mix.
4. Coat the hearts of palm in the batter and pan fry in several tablespoons of oil until golden brown. Flip and brown on the other side, then transfer to a paper towel lined plate and season well with salt.
5. Plate the quinoa, add almonds, cabbage, and cilantro chutney. Top with hearts of palm and drizzle the vegan mayo sauce on top. Serve with remaining lemon wedges and enjoy!

Remember, they’re now offering a new 6 Serving plan (perfect for your next dinner party) and you can add breakfast and lunch to your boxes too. So many possibilities 🙂
↠ My Tips:
1. When you get your box, take out produce like avocado and peaches, instead of refrigerating them. That way they have some time to ripen and will be perfect for your meals later in the week! You can also place fruits like peaches in a paper bag to ripen faster! More tips are included in the recipe book.
2. Also, save the recipe book. It will come in handy down the line! I dog-ear the pages with my favorite recipes and still make them from time to time.
3. Sending a monthly box to a family member or friend is a great gift idea! Especially if they’ve said they want to cook at home but don’t know where to start 🙂

With Gerberas the bend in the stem is because the heads are too heavy for the stems , thats why we { florists } wire the heads
i'm shook…. really really impressed…. wow, you did this like a genius!!! thanks!!
only a couple mins in, but am madly in love with those blue leafy plates! where oh where oh where did u get those from?
May I ask?? What kind of highlighter for your cheekbones did you use??
Doing an Oscar Party night this is helpful
Thankyou so much. This was very thorough and I really appreciated you writing out all the recipes because so many other sites do not do this. Your plating was nice as well. The only tip I can think of is maybe napkin folding tricks 🙂
Really Elegant &
Inspirational
Loved this video 💕❤️
Hi! This was my first time seeing one of your videos, and I’m SO glad I did!! I’m really looking forward to watching ALL of them! 🤗
What candles are you using in this video?
So delicious!
Honestly, my favorite tip is about the candles! I always wanna pick really fun seasonal smelling candles, but it makes so much more sense to do unscented. Especially when in a smaller space like an apartment that I live in. Thanks so much! 🙂
I tried palm of hearts about 2 years ago, made mock tuna, I think I could do better with it now though. Anyway, I tried your recipe for the “fish tacos” and they were so good. I’ll definitely be keeping a can of palm of hearts in my pantry from now on. 😁
woooooooooooooooow, I'm impressed by the effort und love you put into all the prepping, explaining, details and filming! If Purple carrot would be available here in Germany I would order their boxes right NOW!
These tips are so useful and fun! And the meal looks beautiful!
There are also people in the whom love avocado but have sensitivities to it borderline allergy…I'm that people :/
AMAZING! i'm known for hosting dinner parties in my family and even i learned some great things- like use unscented candles! i don't know if i've been conscious of that before! thank you.
Girl! I freaking love this video!! Such a fun idea. I'd love more content like this
Omg, the highlighter! What brand you are using? It looks amazing on you 👍
