Hi Reader, If Brussels sprouts have ever felt a little… meh, this recipe is here to change that. These Brussels sprouts with sun-dried tomatoes get roasted until browned and crispy, then finished with my quick sun-dried tomato pesto (it takes just a few minutes in the food processor). It’s bold, tangy, and ridiculously easy, which is basically my favorite kind of side dish. Get the recipe for Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Sun-Dried Tomatoes Love and Veggies, Amy

Hi Reader, Even though I live in sunny Southern California, it gets cold in the evenings, so lately I've been making warming soups and stews almost every night. One of my favorites is Italian-inspired zucchini stew with potatoes. Zucchini seems to available at my local supermarkets year round now, so hopefully you can get it where you are too. This stew is easy to make on the stove and is loaded with veggies. It's perfect on its own or with some warm crusty bread for dipping. Get the recipe...

Hi Reader, Did you have a favorite soup growing up that you always requested when you weren't feeling well? Mine was chicken and stars, but I always left the bits of chicken at the bottom of my bowl. 😄 So now when I make comforting homemade soup for sick days, it's got to be Chickenless Vegan Noodle Soup. It’s simple yet full of flavor thanks to fresh herbs and lemon. I like to make it with star-shaped stelline pasta for the nostalgia, but orzo and ditalini work too. If you make it, I’d love...

Hi Reader, I appreciate the support you've given me this year by being part of the community and cooking my recipes.

But there’s a quick thing you can do that truly helps and only takes a few seconds. You can mark Veggies Save The Day as a preferred...
