Plus they're wonderful as part of a Thanksgiving feast served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and cranberry sauce. And since this lentil meatloaf is made in a muffin pan, it cooks quicker and doesn't require slicing. Simply pop them out and serve. Get the recipe for...

Promo for the free Tackling Type 2 masterclass.

Hi Reader, I have a secret to tell you. Even though I've been vegan for over a decade, a few years ago at my annual physical, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. Now keep in mind Reader I've always been a healthy weight with a BMI in the low end of the normal range. I exercise regularly, and type 2 diabetes does not run in my family. I was shocked and scared by the news. Thankfully I discovered what I was doing wrong when it came to my food choices thanks to experts like Brenda Davis, RD, and my...

Bowl of vegetable rice soup garnished with parsley.

Hi Reader, I came down with a cold 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
