Sure, casual vegetarian dinners are delicious and come in a wide variety of formats. From jerk tofu grain bowls to ricotta- and potato-topped white pizza, or decadent Southern baked mac & cheese, these days it’s not a stretch to keep meat off your plate. But a hearty fork-and-knife veggie meal (that’s actually healthy, too) isn’t that easy to come […]

It’s fall and we’re craving everything with pumpkin, especially this velvety pumpkin tomato soup. If you’ve never tried it before, this warming soup will convince you—pumpkin is just the sweet flavor traditional tomato soup needs. One of the best parts? Both the soup and cheese sticks are ready in under 30 minutes, making this the […]

A twist on the classic Tuscan soup, this version features blended sautéed kale, which turns the whole bowl a bright, springy green. Torn country-style bread provides body, while a Parmesan rind in the broth (plus a showering of cheese on your bowl at the end!) adds richness all the way through. That hint of cumin […]

When comfort calls, don’t ignore it. This pasta is packed with protein and flavor thanks to tempeh and a simple sauce. Raw broccoli rabe can be a little bitter, but a quick blanch helps balance it out and provides a nice fresh green to your pasta. Ingredients 1 lb.broccoli rabe, ends trimmed 12 oz.orecchiette 3 Tbsp.extra-virgin olive […]

Moussaka is one of our favorite Greek dishes. It’s an eggplant based dish that is traditionally made with ground beef. Here we swapped the meat with lentils to make this an even heartier vegetarian dish. It has a creamy bechamel sauce that goes on top that makes this dish the comfort food that it is. […]

It’s gotta be said—brie can be costly. We used a BIG wheel for our video above, but we understand that for a lot of the year, those are hard to find or are prohibitively expensive. Larger cheese wheels start popping up around the holidays for less money, but if you can’t find them (or want […]

Whenever I was tight on time in college (but plenty hungry), you’d likely find me at a nearby street vendor, awaiting my turn at one of their paneer kathi rolls. Despite the plethora of options, this popular Indian street food, also known as Paneer Frankie, was always my go-to: Creamy paneer cubes, bell peppers, and […]

Meaty oyster mushrooms stand in for steak in our indulgent take on this Southern classic. Buttermilk is a must for fried chicken, so we made our own with almond milk and vinegar. When first mixed, the milk may appear to separate, but a good whisking will bring it back together. Ingredients FOR CHICKEN-FRIED MUSHROOMS 2large […]

These crispy, cheesy taquitos are quick and easy to make and are a fun appetizer; they could even easily be the main served along with rice and salsa. Taquitos are traditionally fried and will give you the crispiest outcome, but if you just really don’t want to bust out the big bottle of oil, you […]

Imagine lasagna being turned inside out to form cute pockets stuffed with creamy, garlicky ricotta and cream cheese, which are then slathered in tomato sauce for an impressive dinner with friends or family. That’s the beauty of stuffed shells. It’s got the simplicity of a one-pan baked dinner while also adding a little sophistication to […]
