We all love leftovers… until we don’t. Often, the key to enjoying leftovers is to create a flavor profile that feels like a completely different meal. This gumbo does just that by using leftover turkey along with spicy sausage to create a hearty and delicious stew. Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or leftover mashed potatoes for a Thanksgiving weekend meal that will bring a smile to your family’s faces… because it’s not another Thanksgiving plate.

Next time you have a pile of veggie scraps after cooking, don’t toss them! Keep them in a container in the freezer, adding more scraps throughout the week as you prepare your meals. Then use those leftover scraps to create a delicious vegetable stock to sip on cool nights or to use in recipes. Choosing 100% organic produce ensures your vegetable stock is of the highest quality and free of harmful pesticide residue.

This vegetable soup is healthy, comforting, and a thousand times better than what you’ll get from a can! Full of flavor and so easy to make, it’s perfect for busy nights or to get back on track when you’ve overindulged. It’s also versatile—switch it up with seasonal vegetables in place of frozen if you’d like. You simply can’t go wrong with a warm bowl of hearty vegetable soup!

The humble potato. You can boil it, mash it, or toss it in a stew, but sometimes you want something a little more special. Enter the potato tart. This showstopper is made with a combination of colorful potatoes and parsnip, and is savory with just the right amount of sweetness. The flavors are delightful, and it is easy to prepare, making it a great side dish for any occasion!

Since making an apple pie is WAY too much work, I created apple pie cookie bars instead! Whenever in baking doubt, make cookie bars. They never fail. I make a simple cookie crust that never fails me, then I layer it with sautéed apples, and a crunchy granola topping. And you can serve them warm or cold! I prefer mine to sit in the fridge overnight because then all the flavors meld together even more to create this ooey gooey apple bar that’s pure heaven!

Homemade beef stroganoff over potato noodles may sound like a complicated meal, but we promise it’s not. This recipe provides all the flavor of a gourmet meal and it is surprisingly simple to make. The layers of flavor from sautéing the onion, mushrooms, and garlic until the natural sweetness develops and the perfectly seared steak cubes simmered in a savory coconut milk-based sauce will satisfy your taste buds and comfort food desires.

Looking for a party dish that always delivers, especially when your guests are ravished with hunger? Look no further than these nachos, loaded with flavor and plant-based nutritional goodness! Make the vegan cheese sauce and BBQ jackfruit in advance and this dish can be ready in 15 minutes or less—you can even prepare it during a commercial break!

This hearty breakfast is packed with veggies, full of flavor, and perfect for weekend brunch. The potatoes are fried in coconut oil, the vegetables are gently steamed, and the melted cheese topped with sunny side up eggs and bacon crumbles create a taste sensation you will crave not just on weekends, but every day of the week. It is hearty, but deceptively light due to the quantity of vegetables—i.e., you won’t need a nap after eating it!

Salted caramel and pears, yum! You can’t go wrong when these flavors meld together. The natural sweetness of pears combined with a deliciously buttery crumble topping is something to write home about.  A drizzle of salted caramel sauce makes this unique pie a little slice of heaven.

This rustic tart is as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat and with vine-ripe heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil, it’s the perfect way to highlight summer’s harvest.
