Easy Raisin Bran Muffins

These delicious bran muffins are full of healthy ingredients like wheat bran, raisins, and applesauce. For extra moist and juicy raisins in your muffins, I soak them in hot water before adding them to the batter. This simple step makes a big difference in the final texture!

Weeknight Vegetarian Chili

Weeknight comfort foods like this one-pan quick chili are a great entryway into eating a more plant-based diet. Switching from a pot to a skillet slashed the cooking time in half for this recipe, and the wider pan surface lets spices and aromatics meld quickly for deep complexity.

Easy Sour Cream Baked Salmon

This easy baked salmon recipe is ideal for a quick weeknight meal but elegant enough to serve for a special occasion. We coat the salmon with a creamy sour cream, mustard, and parmesan cheese sauce. The key to perfectly cooked salmon is to avoid overcooking it. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through at the thickest part, then remove from the oven, loosely cover with foil, and let it rest for a few minutes. This will ensure a moist and flavorful salmon every time.

Minced garlic and cilantro boost the natural earthy flavors of this burger that doesn't need a bun. Serve with lettuce leaves for wrapping.

Coconut Miso Mushroom Soup

This silky take on cream of mushroom soup is actually cream-less; coconut milk is subbed for traditional dairy making a satisfying plant-based soup. The humblest of mushrooms: button or cremini—which are both inexpensive and easy to find—anchor the recipe and white or yellow miso pumps up their earthiness without overwhelming them.
