THE RECIPES

B aked Tofu with Spicy Peanut Sauce
by @c andicelynnfitvegan
We suggest doubling up on the baked tofu so you can use it later in the week for filling tacos. The peanut sauce is also another component to make extra of since you can use it to top bowls, salads, veggies and more for lunch.

B ulgar and Pecan Stuffed Acorn Squash
by @o rlyhermesh
These roasted squash have a spicy surprise. @o rlyhermesh cleverly sprinkles the squash with the content of a masala chai tea bag before roasting so there's a subtle, warm spice flavor.

Feedfeed Tip When roasting tofu, be sure to press it for at least 15-30 minutes to get out excess moisture. We like to weigh it down with a few bottles of wine or a heavy cast iron skillet.

R ainbow Veggie and Braised Tofu Tacos
by @naturallyzuzu
Break out the extra baked tofu you made from the other night, and start slicing those veggies. We suggest doubling up on the Avocado Queso Dip so that tomorrow all you have to do is add some basil and your pesto sauce is ready to go for the pasta.

Feedfeed Tip Got leftover tortillas? Use them to make your own baked tortilla chips! Brush the tortilla chips all over with canola oil, then stack on a cutting board and cut into 6 wedges. Spread onto a parchment lined baking tray and bake in a 350˚F oven for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly before enjoying.

A vocado Basil Pesto Pasta
by @y olcsita_eats
Repurpose that extra Avocado Queso Dip from the night before by adding basil. Pesto (especially this one since it is thick and creamy from avocado) is one of those sauces that works well with most pasta shapes so you can use whatever you have in the pantry.

BBQ Jackfruit Sandwich with Spicy Slaw
by @b riewilly
Unlike most BBQ recipes this one comes together quickly since jackfruit doesn't require much cooking time. If you have leftover sliced veggies from taco night feel free to throw them into the spicy slaw that tops this sandwich.

Feedfeed Tip Be sure to buy canned jackfruit in brine, not syrup for this savory application. When prepping, don't forget to remove and discard the core of the jackfruit.

C reamy Pumpkin and Kale Pasta Bake
by @thehungrywarrior
First things first, double up on the roasted pumpkin that way you can easily make the pumpkin brownies below over the weekend. This cozy dish is not only weeknight appropriate, but if you happen to be entertaining on Friday, it is totally acceptable to serve to guests.

Feedfeed Tip We love the creaminess pumpkin lends to this dish, but you could also use butternut squash or sweet potatoes.

P umpkin Swirl Brownies
by @a nna.culina
Look no further than these brownies for your weekend baking project, plus you can use the leftover roasted pumpkin from the night before to quickly whip up the batter.
