The Ultimate Creamy Pesto with Avocado and Pistachios
The Ultimate Creamy Pesto with Avocado and Pistachios

Traditionally made with fresh basil, oil, and toasted pine nuts, this recipe swaps out the pine nuts for toasted pistachios, and adds avocado, for a nice, ultra-creamy texture, that is perfect for dressing pasta! Using the avocado means you can use less olive oil, and both the avocado and the pistachios are packed full with all kinds of “good fats” - no guilt required! Make a little extra because you’ll want to have some stashed in the fridge to top everything from your morning bagels to your vegetable soup!

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
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!

Sauteed Sweet Onion and Sundried Tomato Avocado Toast with Pistachios
Sauteed Sweet Onion and Sundried Tomato Avocado Toast with Pistachios

Avocado Toast. Call me a hippie, call me granola, either way I love it. Pseudo healthy, super trendy, foolishly expensive, and something that yes, I happen to eat way, way too much of. I love this recipe because so many avocado toast recipes these days seem to be either served with cheese, in some form or fashion, or an egg but this one is sans both and with the complexity of flavors, I promise that you won’t miss either…even if you aren’t plant-based.

Rustic Roasted Carrot Galette with Feta Spread and Herbs
Rustic Roasted Carrot Galette with Feta Spread and Herbs

When you’re a vegetarian you always seem to get sent home with the leftovers…all of the veggie leftovers, that is. Such was the case, with me, this weekend after a BBQ that my good friend James hosted…I found myself with an entire container of roasted (well, grilled, actually) carrots. So, in the spirit of tasty leftovers, good friends, and slight hangovers…some kind of brunch recipe seemed like a good reincarnation to tackle this morning.
