This hearty vegetable and white bean soup recipe is healthy, easy to make, and tastes fantastic. It’s also vegan when you use a vegan-friendly broth! Since vegetables vary by seasonality, feel free to swap or add different vegetables for the ones listed below. Both cooked and canned beans can be used in this recipe. When using canned beans, we prefer to drain and rinse them before adding them to the soup.
You will love this easy sausage and potato soup recipe, made with Italian sausage, potatoes, garlic, and kale. It is comforting and ultra-flavorful. For the best soup, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have thin skins, so you don’t need to peel them. The red pepper flakes are optional and add a bit of spice to the soup. If you use hot Italian sausage (spicy), you may not need the
Our Italian wedding soup recipe marries homemade meatballs, spinach, and a rich and savory broth. The type of ground meat you use is up to you. Ground beef, pork, turkey, and chicken all work well. You can use one or combine two types of meat for a more complex and tasty meatball. When we make this recipe, we love to combine ground pork and ground turkey. The pork makes the meatballs super juicy and rich, and the turkey keeps them light. I love the combination!
We love this quick and easy tortellini soup recipe, which uses store-bought pasta, garlicky broth, and veggies. I keep it vegetarian and buy cheese-filled pasta for this soup, but you can use whatever you love. Consider spinach, sausage, chicken, and even vegan fillings. Most (if not all) are available in larger grocery stores here in the US.
Our favorite watermelon salad is light and fresh, and thanks to the salty-sweet combination of flavors, it’s delicious. The moment you see how easy this watermelon salad with herbs and feta is, you’ll make it all summer lon
Coconut rice is just as easy to make as plain rice and tastes fantastic! All we need to do is swap half of the water for coconut milk. This coconut rice is perfect for almost any dish served with plain rice. It’s perfect in rice bowls, with curries, Thai dishes, stir-fries, and as a side to chicken and fish. *Long-grain rice works best in this recipe. Shorter grain rice tends to be more sticky.
This veggie stir fry is simple and quick to make. You will need 6 to 7 cups of vegetables. Choose a variety of colors and textures. We like to keep about half of the vegetables on the heartier side (like broccoli and carrots). Add the heartier veggies to the pan first and cook for a few minutes before adding quicker-cooking vegetables like scallions, bell peppers, and snow peas. This way, all the vegetables turn out perfectly cooked. You can make the stir-fry sauce up to 5 days in advance. It is extra delicious when made with fresh ginger and garlic, but you can leave them out if you do not have them on hand.
This vegetable curry is quick and packed with flavor. We use store-bought Thai red curry paste (Thai Kitchen), but if you have your own, feel free to use it. You are also welcome to substitute green curry paste for the red curry paste.
This ham and cabbage soup recipe is hearty, healthy, easy to make, and tastes fantastic. Before adding the ham to the soup, taste it to see how salty it is. You may not need to add salt to the soup, depending on the salt level. Taste and adjust the seasoning of the soup a few times during cooking.
Chorizo and eggs are a fantastic combination and work perfectly for this easy breakfast skillet. Chorizo is a flavorful, spice-packed pork sausage. It comes in two forms: fresh and cured. For this breakfast skillet, use fresh chorizo.
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!
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.
This Swedish meatball recipe makes juicy and flavorful meatballs with a creamy, rich, and crave-worthy sauce. If you prefer, you can serve the meatballs without the gravy. We love serving these with mashed potatoes (or mashed cauliflower). We also highly recommend a spoonful of lingonberry jam. For the gravy, I love soy sauce and a bit of lemon. They are not authentic, but truly make this gravy delicious.
We love these soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies rolled in an irresistible cinnamon sugar. Every time we make a batch, we fall in love again. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps keep the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. You can keep the dough in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Serve this red fruit salad for dessert with whipped cream, add to oatmeal, or enjoy as a light snack. We use strawberries as our base and then add more fruit from there. Keeping all red fruit is pretty but not 100% necessary. Use what you love! Here’s our whipped cream recipe or our dairy-free vegan whipped coconut cream.
This berry salad is one of my favorite summertime desserts! It’s super simple to make and tastes incredible. I love the mint and rice wine vinegar added to the berries. They genuinely turn this salad into something special. I also love serving this with whipped cream. You can skip it for a lighter dish, but the cream tastes so good with the berries! I love adding a big spoonful of the cream to my plate and then adding the salad on top (so pretty!
