Dozens of dinner ideas and plenty of dinner inspiration in one spot. Many of these recipes are quick, others are a bit better for a lazy Sunday. Some favorites? Nearly everyone LOVES these stuffed shells, the spicy tahini noodles, this vegan nacho recipe (no, really!), saag paneer, this last minute lasagna. Or, check here, if you’re looking for my collection of Instant Pot recipes. Enjoy!
Really Great Vegan Ramen
Today we're going to tackle great vegan ramen. Vegetarian or vegan ramen can absolutely be as good as its meat-based counterparts. You introduce your favorite noodles to a rich, miso-scallion nut-milk broth. Add a blitz of seasonal toppings, and spicy turmeric oil to finish.
Spicy Tempeh Crumble Bowl
A riff on one of my favorite recipes in Andrea Nguyen's Vietnamese Food Any Day - a caramelized tempeh crumble. The sort of thing that immediately becomes the best component in your rice bowl.
Heirloom Bean and Mushroom “Carnitas” Casserole
A favorite Rancho Gordo heirloom bean casserole recipe. The smell of garlic and herbs baking alongside the beans, simmering tomatoes, and mushrooms will bring neighbors in off the sidewalk.
Green Falafel Bowl
The star of this show is the golden-crusted, green spinach falafel. Lemon-flecked, made with chickpeas, you see them tucked into this rainbow assortment of hummus, pita, kale, cucumber, and carrots.
Golden-crusted Sesame Seeded Tofu
In the April 1998 issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine there was a recipe for Sesame Asparagus and Tofu. I ripped it out, and cooked it a hundred times in the twenty years since.
The Ultimate Vegan Nachos
Oozy, cheesy, loaded vegan nachos everyone loves. When you need a nacho fix, this is how you should roll. At least once. Nachos are always a crowd pleaser, and this is no exception.
Sunshine Pad Thai (Vegetarian)
The pad thai recipe you're looking for! Try this simple trick to make a turmeric noodle version.
How to Make a Great Vegetarian Poke Bowl
Let's make a vegetarian poke bowl! They're fantastic this time of year because they're light, clean, filling but not heavy. Made with watermelon poke.
An Amazing Vegetarian Paella
A much-loved vegetarian paella recipe. And, for this veg-centric, California-inspired take on the Spanish classic, you don't need a special pan.
Best Pizza Dough by a Master Baker
Peter Reinhart's Napoletana pizza dough recipe. It makes my all-time favorite pizza dough using a delayed-fermentation method.
