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!
Yield: 6-8 servings
Kale Chips – Cashew & Miso
Crunchy and SO flavorful! These kale chips are a great salty snack, with a good boost of protein from the cashews and sunflower seeds.
Wild Rice with Mushroom Medley
Fresh shiitake and cremini mushrooms, as well as dried mushroom medley, give this wild rice dish its rice umami flavor.
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.
Applesauce
Simple and perfect. Apples, honey, lemon, and a hint of cinnamon. This is a great, healthy way to satisfy a sweet tooth! Like apple pie without the crust.
Potatoes, Roasted
Tossed with olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Bolognese
My version of classic Bolognese meat and vegetable sauce, using cashew-hemp cream rather than dairy. The sauce to pasta ratio is perfect!
Pot Roast Lentils – Vegan Pot Roast
The vegetables have always been my favorite part of pot roast, so I decided to make one without any meat – and vegan, to boot. Along with herbs, the lentils give this dish a deep, hearty flavor. Prepared in a slow cooker.
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.
Savory Rice with Vegetables
Tastes like risotto – but faster, healthier, easier, and with more common ingredients.
Guacamole
Simple Tex-Mex style guacamole.
