If you’re like me…you can’t seem to get enough tacos… and Fish Taco are one of my absolute favorites, especially in the Summer time!

Mom's Burrito Pie (Deep Dish Mexican Pizza!)

I grew up eating this dish once a week. Well, maybe that’s n exaggeration, but for sure, twice a month, at least! My Momma always called it burrito pie but someone informed me on my Instagram this week that it’s also deep dish Mexican Pizza! Either way, it's one of the most simple dishes you can imagine and it's good every single time! Dare I say, it will stand up to ALL the pickiest eaters, and this vegan version with homemade refried beans is the perfect thing to serve to a crowd of “mixed eaters”!

Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Roasted Artichokes with a Spicy Pistachio Berry Chutney

The variety of flavors and textures come together to create the perfect side dish for summer entertaining and BONUS: it ends up looking way, way, more fancy than it actually is, and so do you, by association. The goal is for the exterior to get good and crispy while the inside maintains a soft and creamy texture. This recipe does have a couple steps, but nothing about it is difficult. Start to finish you’re still looking at about 30-35 minutes.

Impossible Cheeseburger Soup with Homemade Dairy Free Cheese Sauce

Another recipe that I probably would never have been exposed to had I not lived up in Ohio’s Amish Country for a decade or so is Cheese Burger Soup! I have re-worked the traditional “meat and potatoes” version into a glorious bowl of plant-based goodness. Part soup, part stew, part casserole, to be honest, this easy dish is a great way to clean out that crisper drawer at the end of the week and will totally become a family favorite, I promise!

Spinach and Mushroom White Lasagna

If you’re looking for a recipe this Holiday for a non-traditional family dinner or need to accommodate dairy free guests this Spinach and Mushroom White Lasagna made with oat milk from the Rise Brewing Company just might be it! Creamy and delicious, no one will know that this entire dish is dairy free! The best part about this recipe is that it reheats just as well the next day if you have any leftovers…but don’t hold your breath. You can make ahead and assemble the night before, just bring to room temperature before baking.

Pork Fried Rice with Fresh Veggies and Garlic

The trick to any fried rice recipe, including this one, is “day-old-rice.” This is a great dish to plan to have for dinner towards the end of the week, like a Meat Free Friday meal (or even on a Saturday afternoon) because it uses up all the leftover things that you probably have taking up space in your fridge from earlier in the week!

7 Ingredient Creamy Pasta Casserole with Red Sauce

This vegan dish only requires 7 ingredients and is the perfect way to use up the pasta that you have at home because just about any kind of noodle or shell will work for this dish. While quick and almost embarrassingly easy, because of the baking time required for this recipe, this dish does not qualify as a 30 minute meal, however, because most of the time that this recipe demands is just “oven time” I think it still more than qualifies as a good option for a week night meal, especially for a crowd!

Quick and Easy Creamy Zucchini and Mushroom Carbonara

This Creamy Zucchini and Mushroom Carbonara basically checks all of my boxes! It goes from skillet to table in under 30 minutes, is loaded with veggies and is so rich and luxurious that even your non-vegan friends are sure to love it! As with a lot of the dishes that I share…if you do eat eggs and dairy, by all means, use the ingredients that you like…BUT, if you are willing to be slightly adventurous I would say, challenge your expectation of what you think vegan food tastes like…and with the addition of my secret ingredient, I guarantee that this dish will surprise you!

This is the perfect dish for when you are trying to eat somewhat healthy but you are also just craving PIZZA!

Plus…with almost two cups of spinach per pizza…hello, can we say leafy greens? Popeye would be so proud!
