Hi Reader, Today's recipe is versatile enough to be a main dish or a standout side. I’m talking about my Mediterranean chickpea quinoa: lemony, garlicky, herby, and loaded with chickpeas and tomatoes. It works two delicious ways: Serve it in a bowl with a simple salad or roasted veggies. Spoon it into roasted acorn squash (or your favorite winter squash) for a stunning vegan main dish. If you try it, leave a comment on the post and tell me how you served it. I love seeing your twists. Get the...

Hi Reader, It's two weeks until Thanksgiving, followed quickly by Christmas and Hanukkah. I used to entertain all the time, but over the last few years it's mostly been my small family around the table. Recently I went through Entertaining 101 from Dannyelle at Life is a Party, and it completely flipped the switch for me. Instead of feeling rusty and overthinking every detail, I feel excited and confident about having people over again. What I love about this course is how practical and...

Hi Reader, I first started making Rosemary Tofu with Nutritional Yeast as a Thanksgiving main since the cozy flavors pair so well with mashed potatoes, gravy, roasted veggies, and all the usual holiday favorites.

Hi Reader, One of the most popular recipes on Veggies Save The Day this time of year is always Lentil Meatloaf Muffins. They're easy enough to make on weeknights, and they freeze really well, making them perfect for meal prep. They also shine on a holiday table with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and cranberry apple relish. Since the meatloaf bakes in a muffin pan, it cooks faster and doesn’t need slicing. Just pop them out and serve. Get the recipe for Lentil Meatloaf Muffins Love and...

Hi Reader, I came down with the flu recently, and nothing hit the spot like a steamy bowl of my Vegetable Rice Soup. It's brothy, gentle, and exactly what I want when I’m not at 100 percent. The best part is the rice cooks right in the pot with the veggies, so it’s truly minimal effort. I made a double batch and froze the extra so future me is ready when someone in the house is under the weather. Get the recipe for Vegetable Rice Soup Love and Veggies, Amy
