Many couples are staying in and taking less time to have a date night and Valentine's day is on its way. Lauren gives us some fun ways to “fancify” or up-level everyday easy meals without spending hours in the kitchen. You will love her pantry staples, batch cooking ideas, and Valentine's Day desserts. Lauren D’Agostino is a private plant-based chef, kitchen confidence coach, speaker, and author, helping veg-curious and plant-passionate people fall in love with plant-based food. Everything she does in the kitchen is infused with fun, familiarity, and high-vibrations of love, joy, and gratitude - and often essential oils, with recipes from her cookbook. When she’s not in her kitchen cooking, she’s in the virtual kitchen, teaching self-conscious and intimidated cooks the plant-based fundamentals so they can master the intuitive bliss of healthy and flavorful meals in the day-to-day. Inspired by her career as a professional vegan chef, the global consciousness awakening, and her graceful transition into living a delicious plant-based life, she is guiding others to create lasting habits by incorporating more plants, both on and off the plate.
