Cooking Method: Sautée
Fried Rice – Veggie
Quick vegetable fried rice for a simple weeknight meal. Packed with veggies and even has a good protein boost from edamame! We use way more vegetables than rice (as you can see), so it’s easy to make this often when we have a little leftover rice from another recipe.
Classic Vegetable Soup
Inspired by my very favorite canned soup – Amy’s Organic Chunky Vegetable (we always have a can on hand). This vegetable soup is known as “Carley’s Amy’s” in our house!
Ficken Wild Rice Vegetable Soup
What chicken and wild rice soup always wished it could be – without the meat! Filling and flavorful vegan wild rice vegetable soup, with my special ficken (fake chicken) seasoning for an extra savory broth.
Lettuce Wraps
Classic bold flavor – using ground meat or a meat-free substitute for your lifestyle. Don’t be intimidated by a 15-ingredient recipe – after some chopping, this is very simple to prepare! Serve over grains for a heartier meal.
Breakfast Sandwich – Sausage, Egg, and Cheese
Simple and classic, for those mornings when you need a solid breakfast. Scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, and cheddar cheese on a toasted bun.
Meatloaf (Turkey or Chicken)
This turkey meatloaf (or chicken meatloaf) is super moist and full of flavor. Also loaded with vegetables from a special ingredient: mushrooms. I’ve always liked meatloaf, but this recipe made me crave it all the time.
Broccoli, Sauteed
This recipe makes me want to eat broccoli all the time. Sauteed with salt, pepper, and a splash of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos.
Bolognese
My version of classic Bolognese meat and vegetable sauce, using cashew-hemp cream rather than dairy. The sauce to pasta ratio is perfect!
French Toast with Cherry and Blackberry Preserves
This challah french toast is perfect. We also love these cherry-blackberry preserves on yogurt.
Kale Sautéed
With onions, garlic, olive oil, and lemon.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Perfectly tangy and slightly spicy, but sweetened with pineapple juice instead of sugar. Inspired by my Dad’s recipe for Sweet and Sour Pork.
Mushrooms, Sautéed with Herbs
Baby portabella mushrooms sautéed in clarified butter with thyme.
Savory Rice with Vegetables
Tastes like risotto – but faster, healthier, easier, and with more common ingredients.
Lamb Meatballs & Almond Sauce ( Albóndigas en Salsa con Picada de Almendras )
Great with roasted green beans & rye toast!
Beef Stroganoff
Oldschool Americanized Beef Stroganoff.
