Remove tofu from package and cover the top and bottom with paper towels or a clean cloth. Place a heavy skillet on top of the covered tofu and allow gravity to press the water from the tofu for 10-30 minutes.
On the stove, heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
In a bowl, combine the curry powder, cornstarch, garlic powder and salt.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1” cubes and add to the bowl with the cornstarch mix-ture and toss until the tofu is coated.
Add the tofu to the oiled pan and cook for 3-5 minutes, tossing occasionally with a spatula to get the tofu golden and crisp on all sides. Remove tofu from the pan and discard the remaining oil. Serve and enjoy!

In a bowl, toss kale, coconut, squash, tofu, salt and pepper, and 4 tablespoons olive oil until coated. Evenly divide mixture between 2 lined rimmed baking sheets and roast, tossing and rotating baking sheets halfway through, until kale is crisp, coconut and tofu is browned, and butternut squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling water over high heat, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Shake off any residual water and place noodles in a clean large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, remaining 1/2 cup olive oil, and lime zest and juice. Whisk dressing until smooth. Pour half over noodles and toss to coat.

“Nice cream” is the term for puréed frozen bananas that resemble soft serve ice cream. For this version, we added peak-of-season Utah grown peaches and froze them ourselves. You can substitute peaches from the freezer section if desired, but if you do, you may need to add a small amount of maple syrup to sweeten.
In a food processor, add frozen peaches and bananas. Let sit at room temperature to thaw slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add vanilla, oatmilk, and maple syrup, if using, to food processor. Pulse until fruit starts to break into smaller pieces. Use a spatula to occasionally stir mixture. It may take up to 10 minutes to fully puree. The finished product will resemble soft serve ice cream.
Serve immediately for very soft “nice” cream. If it has started to melt too much, place in a container and freeze for 1 hour. For firmer “nice” cream, freeze for 4 hours. Once frozen, let nice cream thaw slightly to make it easier to scoop.

To make the salad, on a sheet pan, toss sprouts and squash with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until golden and crispy on the ends, about 8 minutes. Let cool for 15-20 minutes.
In a large bowl, add kale. Drizzle with oil and salt. Massage with your hands until kale starts to break down and soften. Add roasted sprouts and squash and toss.
To make the dressing, in a bowl, add balsamic, tamari, garlic, and basil. Slowly whisk in olive oil to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper.
Dress salad, adding in small amounts so as not to overdress. Toss and serve.
In a pint sized canning jar with a tight-fitting lid, add cardamom, chia, and mango. Add agave and Ripple milk. Immediately screw on lid tightly and shake well (if you wait too long the chia seeds clump together). Shake well again every couple of minutes for about 10 minutes (this will allow the chia and mango to more evenly distribute through the liquid). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to three days.

If you are making multiple servings at a time, you can add dry ingredients to all jars, but add agave and Ripple milk one jar at a time and shake well before moving on to next jar.
To use fresh mango, replace 1/4 dried mango with 1/2 cup diced fresh mango and reduce Ripple milk to 1 cup.
