These veggie tacos are super flavorful, thanks to roasted vegetables, hearty black beans, and a quick, creamy cilantro sauce that you’ll want to put on everything! Use your favorite seasonal veggies, just make sure to cut them into similar-sized pieces for even roasting. Bonus: the cilantro sauce can be made ahead and keeps for up to a week in the fridge. It’s perfect on salads, meats, or even as a dip. We’ve also included a delicious vegan sauce option in the tips below!
We love these healthy sautéed vegetables made with some of our favorite veggies, garlic, and a little butter for some richness. These are quick to cook and easy to prepare. This is a versatile veggie recipe, so look at the article for other vegetables that work well in the recipe.
For this easy cauliflower soup recipe, we roast a whole head of cauliflower until golden brown and then blend it with onion, parmesan cheese, and broth until silky smooth. This healthy soup is creamy, decadent, and delicious! For more crunch, try serving this soup topped with our homemade garlic
This quick and easy roasted carrots recipe is ready in about 30 minutes! Our family loves the perfectly cooked, caramelized results. We’ve included a basic recipe below, plus an optional twist with maple syrup and cumin (I love it).
Sweet, smoky, and just a little spicy, the sauce for these baked BBQ chicken wings comes together in 5 minutes and is fantastic. If you have a favorite store-bought BBQ sauce, feel free to use it instead. Baking your wings on a rack inset to your baking sheet helps make them extra crispy, so if you have one, use it!
We love this spinach and mushroom lasagna. It keeps incredibly well and might even be better the next day. To keep things easy, we use no-boil lasagna noodles. While we were initially skeptical about using them, we’ve fallen in love with their ease and final texture.
Endlessly flexible veggie enchiladas. The filling consists of a combination of veggies and beans. The recipe calls for pinto beans, but most cooked or canned beans will work as a substitute (this includes lentils). Use what you have on hand for the vegetables. If you plan to add a heartier vegetable (like sweet potato), consider roasting it first before adding it to the filling.
My family loves this homemade almond butter recipe! If you are anything like my family, you go through jars (and jars) of nut butter every week. We eat oatmeal most mornings and always add almond butter on top. If you’ve never tried making your nut butter before, let this almond butter recipe be the recipe you try! We use a 12-cup food processor (10-cup should be sufficient), but a large high powered blender should also work.
These easy no-bake energy balls are quick to make, call for simple ingredients, and are one of my go-to homemade energy bites! Use our recipe below as a guide. Many of the ingredients can be substituted (for example, quick oats for rolled oats or flaxseed meal for chia seeds). You can also add some extra ingredients based on your needs. Protein powder, for example, is a nice addition (I’d use 1 to 2 scoops).
We love this pretty pink sloe gin fizz cocktail recipe. It’s super simple to make, fresh, light, and perfect for warmer weather. Sloe gin is a liqueur with an alcohol content typically ranging from 15% to 30% (proof ranging from 30 to 60). If your bottle is on the lower end, I highly recommend using a 50-50 blend of sloe gin to regular gin (1 ounce of each).
These peanut butter granola bars with rolled oats, peanut butter, and maple syrup are easy to make and taste amazing! They are naturally vegan, gluten-free, nutritious, and have around 8 grams of protein per bar.
This apple bread recipe is super easy to make and so flavorful. Grating two large apples into the batter gives the bread a fresh apple flavor and makes your kitchen smell amazing. Plus, it stores well for later. Check the article above for our favorite apples to use. This bread tastes even better on day 2 than freshly baked, so this is perfect for making ahead. A note on pan size: We use an 8 1/2-inch by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan; if you only have a 9-inch by 5-inch pan, check for doneness 5 to 10 minutes earlier.
