1. Garlic Tofu Stir Fry
Stir fry is my ‘go to’ for weekday lunch / dinner, they take very less time and effort to put together. I rediscovered tofu this year and personally I have made this garlic tofu stir fry more times than I care to count. In addition to this recipe, Shuang Shuang from www.shuangyskitchensink.com has explained different types of Tofu and ways to cook them to get you started and even create your own versions of the recipe.
2. Loaded Sweet Potatoes
The perfect Fall/Winter recipe that feels like a warm hug. You cannot go wrong with this recipe by John from www.rescuedogkitchen.com .
3. Moroccan Spiced Eggplant Stew
There are so many ways to cook an eggplant and every region around the world has their own take on it. Having ‘Zaalouk’ in Morocco is something on my Wishlist. Try this version by Dana from www.minimalistbaker.com and I promise you will not regret it.
4. Sweet Potato and Bean Quesadillas
I am a huge fan of using sweet potato as base for my meals. Sweet potatoes are rich in antioxidants and good source of fibre. This version by Kelly from the www.theprettybee.com explores the healthier gluten free options.
5. Green Bean Curry
This takes me back, as a kid I used to run from Green beans but now is an entirely different story. Here is an easy Green Bean curry recipe by Kate from www.thegreenloot.com
6. ChickPea Sloppy Joes
I love Sloppy Joes, they are incredibly easy to make. The vegans out there need not be disappointed, because these ChickPea Sloppy Joes are as delicious than OG and definitely healthier!
7. Coconut Curry Soup
I just love love love the aroma that coconut milk gives to a meal! This easy coconut curry is filled with veggies and all possible goodness. For me, just by playing around with the consistency I eat this as a Soup, or as a topper over steaming hot rice.
8. Easy One Pot Ratatouille
Who remembers the classic Disney movie of Rat chef making the ratatouille ? Makes me nostalgic. Try this easy one pot recipe, which is healthy and filling all at the same time.
9. Vegan Pad Thai
Being Vegan does not mean that you would need to skimp on tasty dishes, switch the fish sauce with Soya sauce and crumpled up Seaweed to get the similar rounded up flavour.
10. Vegan Chana Masala
If you are a fan of Indian food, you know about the flavour explosion that is Chana Masala. I am personally biased to this one. There are many recipes of Chana Masala but I chose to put this recipe by Sarah from www.wellandfull.com because of its simplicity.

11. Tex-Mex Quinoa Vegetable Soup
Quinoa is a superfood and can become a key component in many healthy recipes. This Tex- Mex soup is nutritious and flavourful.
12. Ruthenian Mushroom Soup
The perfect winter soup. Its hearty, it has flavour and it is healthy. To all the mushroom lovers out there, this is a must try.
13. Crispy Tofu Bowl
With Tofu and quinoa, this bowl will fill you up without raking up the calorie count. For an even healthier version, bake the Tofu instead of frying.
14. Cauliflower Risotto Bowl
Risotto ? Vegan ? Healthy ? I understand that perhaps you are having these questions, but this Cauliflower Risotto Bowl is the answer.
15. Vegan Tom Yum (1 Pot)
I think you know by now that I love Thai food. Now add to it that this is a 1 pot recipe. Who wouldn’t love that.
16. Mushroom Ramen with Crispy Tofu
I do not know why I love soup based meals a lot. They are usually one pot recipes, easy to make and definitely light on stomach. This Ramen bowl is no exception.
17. Falafel Salad bowl
A tip, Bake your Falafel instead of frying them. This easy to put together summer salad is a definite favorite in my home.
18. Cauliflower Banh-Mi
This is a twist on a classic Banh-Mi, you can also switch to Tofu as the main component and make a quick and easy lunch.
19. Bulgur Stuffed Eggplants
This hearty flavorful meal is a perfect winter dinner recipe. I sometimes skip the cashew and mainly control the amount of bulgur I stuff to keep it lighter.
20. Vegan MeatBall Sub
This recipe might look very long but actually it is not that complicated once you start it. Add to that, you can freeze a batch of the BeanBalls and you have done half your meal-prep for making Spaghetti MeatBall (Vegan) as well.
