Slightly spicy and packed full of nutrient-rich veggies, this is the perfect antidote to the Sunday Scaries.

Feedfeed Tip We suggest serving this hearty vegan stew over rice for a complete meal. To get perfectly fluffy rice every time, be sure to rinse the rice before cooking. The water should run clear before you add it to your pot!

Anyone else need a large helping of greens after an indulgent holiday weekend?! This salad has something for everyone and is anything but boring.

Feedfeed Tip Make a double batch of these pecans and stash them in the freezer so you can add them to salads all winter long. 
 
 
 
Instant Pot Chana Masala

Vegan, gluten free and wallet-friendly? Yep, this recipe is a keeper!  If you don't have time to pre-soak the dried chickpeas, you could replace with canned.

30 Minute Turkey Chili with Quinoa by @lifeisbutadish

We love the addition of quinoa in this easy chili recipe.  Feel free to skip the turkey all together if you'd prefer to keep things vegetarian.

Feedfeed Tip This is a very quick chili recipe, but be sure to cook the spices over high heat for a few minutes before adding your tomatoes. It really helps to bring out the flavor.
