If you can’t get enough soup during the winter months, I have a delicious new recipe for you—Root Vegetable Soup, made two ways.
Readers following my blog for a long time know that sweet potatoes are my favorite root. Being somewhat of a habitual eater, I never tire of them. But even I need a change of pace from time to time, which is what inspired this recipe focused on parsnips and carrots.

As we turn our attention from Christmas to welcoming the new year, it seems fitting to offer yet another recipe for lucky black-eyed peas. Drumroll please… for African Black-Eyed Pea Stew!
It’s the rich peanut butter and spices that make this African style of cooking black-eyed peas so delicious—though that doesn’t mean spicy hot, at least not when I make it.

When your life is especially busy—like during the holidays—it’s great to have some one-pot meals that are filling and delicious. I recommend this Savory Sweet Potato Soup with English Peas. As you plan different meals for the week your kids return from college or bring their carloads of grandchildren to visit, this hearty soup can make menu planning a lot easier.

I rarely make a casserole for the two of us, but when it comes to convenience, there’s nothing quite so simple as this Easy Vegan Squash Casserole. It’s the kind of dish that you can make the day before and pop into the oven while you’re cooking other parts of your holiday menu. It’s a perfect addition to any potluck and a delicious way to balance all the season’s sugary meals!
Of course, every recipe on my blog is always gluten-free. (This Reimagined Green Bean Casserole is also awesome and worthy of your Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year’s table.)

If you’ve never tried cooking or baking with ragi flour or tiger nut flour—actually made from tubers, not nuts or tigers—I guarantee that you’ll enjoy these delicious Ragi Blueberry Pancakes.
Ragi is a flour that is widely used in India. Known in the U.S. as finger millet flour, ragi has some natural sweetness and is rich in mineral nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron, as well as in protein and B vitamins.

If you’ve never tried making chia pudding, I’ve got a sweet surprise for you with today’s recipe—Chocolate Mint Chia Pudding. You will be hard pressed to find a quicker or easier dessert to make from scratch. It’s totally delicious, of course, and pretty much guilt free!

Whether you are a strict vegan or an omnivore looking to add more vegetarian meals to your dinner routines, a Vegan Pad Thai will satisfy your checklist for an easy, satisfying, and delicious weeknight dinner.
Early on in my journey as a vegetarian, I was unaware that Pad Thai—one of my favorite dishes—is traditionally made with fish sauce.

Today’s recipe for Peanut Butter and Cucumber Soup is the perfect remedy for this week’s heat wave hitting the South. It’s going to be 100ºF today in Raleigh, North Carolina, and with the humidity heat index factored in, forecasters promise it will feel like a blazing 109º—too darn hot for June! This is an ideal time to make some fun dishes that satisfy your hunger without ever turning on a stove.
The central ingredient in this delicious soup is, of course, peanut butter—which is a bit heating to the metabolism, according to Ayurveda. For this reason, I balance the recipe with cooling foods: a seeded cucumber, cilantro, and mint. (Cilantro haters can just use more mint!)
