Pregnancy Friendly Ginger Garlic Scapes
Garlic scapes are one of those seasonal gems that deserve way more attention, and this quick skillet preparation is the perfect way to let them shine. They come out blistered and tender with just a little bite left, coated in a savory-sweet glaze that makes them genuinely hard to stop eating. Fresh ginger and turmeric bring warm, anti-inflammatory flavor that feels especially nourishing when you're paying close attention to what goes into your meals. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce here, keeping the dish free from ingredients that can be tricky to navigate during pregnancy, and the result is a deeply savory glaze without any of the worry. A splash of apple cider vinegar and optional lemon juice brighten everything up so the dish never feels heavy. The whole thing comes together in one pan with minimal prep, which is exactly the kind of cooking that feels manageable when energy isn't always on your side. Serve it alongside rice, grilled protein, or anything that could use a punchy, veggie-forward side.
