I almost never buy frozen spinach, but I recently found myself with an abundance of it after a visit from my mother who uses it all the time. I love spinach and I hate food waste, so I put my thinking cap on and came up with this super easy dairy-free creamed spinach! It's thick and luxurious and makes a great compliment to a grilled steak or a piece of roasted chicken. Note on the cashews: I have a Vitamix, which works super well, so I don't soak the cashews for long--just a

Ingredients: 2 fresh or frozen chicken breasts (or 2-3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken) 5 cups chicken stock 1/2 cup lime juice 10 oz can diced tomatoes & green chilies 2 tbsp of compliant hot sauce of choice (Frank's and Cholula work well) 1 small white or yellow onion, diced 1 celery stalk, chopped 2 tbsp avocado oil 1 tbsp chopped garlic 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp chili powder Salt & pepper to taste 1/2 an avocado, sliced (for garnish) Bunch of cilantro, chopped (for garnish) For

Do you need an easy, light meal for four that packs a flavor and texture punch? I gotchoo. Fattoush is a Lebanese bread salad that typically uses chopped vegetables, fresh herbs, and some sort of bread. I love the crunch that pita chips give this salad, and my Greek chicken is the perfect protein buddy for this dish. Amazing for a summer evening BBQ with copious Sauvingon Blanc flowing... For the chicken: 2 lbs, or 4 large, boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/2 cup extra virg

Ingredients: 1 large or 2 medium beets 1 large bunch dinosaur kale 1/2 cup pistachio nut meats 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp lemon juice Salt & pepper For the dressing: 1/4 cup compliant mayo 1/4 orange juice 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard 2 pitted dates Pinch of salt & pepper Preheat the oven to 400. Cut the tops and bottoms off the beets and peel. Cut into 1 inch cubes (or into the size of your choice). Toss with olive oil and salt & pepper and roa

Let's be real: a sweet/savory moment is never a bad idea for breakfast. These super easy sausage patties will not only save you money and time, but they will warm your belly and soul. Keep in the fridge for the week, or stack between parchment paper and freeze. Make sure to use lean ground pork...too much fat will yield a wet, messy result. Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground pork 1 cup finely diced pear 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp clove 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/4

Ingredients: 2 large sweet potatoes, cubed 1/4 cup almond, cashew, or coconut milk 2 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 tsp salt Boil sweet potatoes for 15-20 min and drain.

This dish is a fall favorite for my family. Definitely be sure to use dark meat turkey for maximum flavor and texture. A perfect lunch for a blustery day! And the sauce can be made on its own as a soup! For the meatballs: 2 lbs ground dark meat turkey 1/4 cup almond flour 1 egg 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped 1 shallot, minced 1 tbsp kosher salt 1 tsp black pepper Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients and form 1 inch balls by hand. Place on a large rimmed sheet

Cauliflower is a rockstar vegetable and I'm so glad she's getting her moment in the sun lately. I typically prefer to buy unpackaged whole fruits and veggies, but I must admit...I'm often grateful for Trader Joe's bagged cauli rice. It just makes life a little easier. It definitely makes this mashed cauliflower recipe super easy. And easy is nice. Ingredients: 2 16 oz bags riced cauliflower 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tbsp ghee 1/3 cup full fat coconut milk 1/3 cup chicken or

Cole slaw gets a bad rap. Look, those soggy little paper cups filled with wilty vegetables dripping in sugary wet mayo at every school cafeteria have really done a number on this dish's reputation. But when it's done right, it's the perfect side dish or sandwich dressing, adding a sweet and tangy crunch perfect for a summer afternoon. This recipe takes the flavors of my favorite cocktail, the almighty margarita, and takes your simple shredded cabbage to the next level. Ingred
