This is one of those one-pot meals. I like using red lentils for a quick warm soup dinner because they cook really fast! But I’ve also made this with dal. Total time: 40 min. Makes dinner for 4-5 people. Materials: Soup pot. Ingredients: 2 cups red lentils 6 cups water 1 onion 2 carrots Bunch…
Spicy eggplants are complemented here with tangy yogurt and tahini, and mellowed out with lentils. This dinner requires turning on the oven, so why not make some cookies or brownies while you’re at it? Total time: 45 mins. Makes dinner for 2-3 people. Materials: 2 pots; frying pan; baking sheet. Ingredients: Lentils (I like black)…
A simple but good one. This can be done with tofu or something else for a vegetarian dish! Total time: 1 hour. Makes dinner for 3-4 people. Materials: Glass baking pan; mixing bowl; aluminum foil. Ingredients: 1 lb chicken 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp cumin ⅛ tsp cayenne…
These are a staple of mine. I just love them. Ezekiel and corn tortillas are my favorite. These can be make in a pan, or if you’re feeling really lazy or need a fast lunch, they can be microwaved for about 2 minutes and are still delicious. Total time: 5-15 min. Materials: Frying pan (optional!).…
I love this recipe because it uses half the Thai curry jar and half a can of coconut milk, so I can make it twice exactly (though sometimes I use the leftover coconut milk for this Turmeric Chickpea Stew or this Yellow Coconut Thai Curry). Total time: 40 min, including chopping and split pea cooking…
This is super fast to make and utterly delicious. I only use ½ can of coconut milk since it has such a strong flavor, and I can also get two dinners from it. I freeze the other ½ can for another dinner such as this Thai Curry! Total time: 30 min. Makes dinner for 2-3…
This recipe makes enough glaze to cover the Apple Cinnamon Scones and the Pumpkin Bread. Scale accordingly. Whisk together 1 tbsp tahini with 2 tbsp maple syrup. Drizzle over the scones, pumpkin bread, or other goodie immediately.
As with my Oatmeal Pancakes, these pancakes are good not just at breakfast but also on the go. I love them with jam or almond butter on trail runs and on road trips. Total time: 20 minutes. Makes ~15 medium-sized pancakes. Materials: Mixing bowl; frying pan. Ingredients (Substitutions): Instructions:
I usually have a bunch of different types of beans left over, already cooked. I add them to some water with a can of diced tomatoes and bring it to a boil (takes about 10 mins) along with (depending on my mood) chopped carrots, collard greens, mushrooms, or some combination of the three. During that…
This is my favorite brownie recipe, but fair warning it’s quite dark chocolatey. If you want a slightly sweeter brownie, I’d try using milk chocolate for the melted chocolate chips or adding some granulated sugar (or trying Cheesecake Marble Brownies or Almond Yogurt Chocolate Brownies). These are definitely a bake-ahead brownie too–they’re better the next…
