    Brussels Sprout Kale Caesar Salad with Rosemary Croutons

    bowl of curried chickpeas.

    Mara said: "I just made this for dinner tonight, and it was fantastic!! I added in some grated carrot, which seemed to go together with everything else really nicely. Thanks for creating such a wonderful recipe – I’ll definitely be making this again!"

    Curried Cauliflower Chickpea Buddha Bowl

    Cindy said: "Saw the recipe today, picked up cauliflower at the grocery store, and made it for my dinner tonight! Had some extra cooked carrots so tossed those in, too.

    Vegan Meatball Subs

    Heidi said, "These are GREAT! 4/4 people with different pickiness meters all loved them. I plunged in and made a double batch and froze half for a quick spaghetti and meatballs dinner some night–really glad I did. The first batch thawed and then cooked great tonight. Thank you for sharing!"

    Pumpkin Walnut Burgers

    Hearty plant-powered Pumpkin Walnut Veggie Burgers with Chipotle Yogurt Sauce. Bursting with flavor and ready in under 30 minutes!

    Vegetable Teriyaki Stir Fry

    Kelsy said: "Made this for dinner last night and am currently sitting at my desk eating leftovers for lunch… I think it might actually get even better the next day! So, so good! And to make it even quicker, I used a frozen bag of mixed stir fry veggies. This will definitely become a regular in my rotation!!"

    Vegan Buddha Bowl with Peanut Sauce

    Jess commented, "I made this today for the first time and it was fantastic! What a good balance of flavors – put the veggies over the Trader Joe’s cauliflower rice, so good!"

    Cream of Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup

    The most comforting soup in all the land! This super easy and healthy Instant Pot Vegan Cream of Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup is the ultimate cold-weather meal. Stovetop option as well.

    Marnie commented: "Made this today! YUMMMMY! I didn’t have any sage, so subbed in a packet of Sazon; and I don’t care for spinach, so I subbed in Arugula. Otherwise, followed exact recipe. Truly amazing. Highly recommend!"
