Wild Rice, Greens, & Mushroom Stuffed Acorn Squash
Gourd with the same old acorn squash? Don't be! Feast your hungry eyes on this acorn squash stuffed with wild rice, greens, mushrooms, and Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese. Not a'corny at all. Nom, nom, nom.
Ethiopian Black-Eyed Peas
Did you know that black-eyed peas are beans? Whatever you call them! Black-eyed peas boast an earthy sweetness that plays so nicely in salads and stews. Sautéing the vegetables and “peas” in coconut oil and adding a smidge of tomato paste infuses the dish with even more coconut goodness and depth of tomato flavor. Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream brings all the lusciousness you could ever want, plus a slight tang to complement the natural sweetness of the black-eyed peas.
Cheesy Tomato Pasta
A dairy version of this dish using feta cheese once went viral. But we like it best with Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese better. Roasting the cheese with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme for 35 virtually hands-free minutes renders a creamy and tangy rustic sauce this is elegant enough for company and crowd-pleasing enough for the kids. If you use pasta rather than spiralized vegetable “noodles,” this recipe requires two dishes, but who’s counting? It will be worth it regardless.
Everything Bagel Pot Pie
There’s not a thing wrong with a plain ‘ole pot pie. But once you try this version whose filling is the creamiest with just a hint of tang and whose crust is the most tender and flaky courtesy biscuits masquerading as Everything Bagels, plain ‘ole just may not be quite as satisfying. Baking the biscuits separately and arranging them on top of the filling before serving insures crusty bottoms. Sound labor intensive? Not necessarily! If you choose, you can make this warm and comforting dish in a flash with canned biscuits, frozen vegetables, and canned potatoes. Your secret will be safe.
Creamy Cauliflower & Spinach Au Gratin
Move over potatoes, there’s a new gratin in town. Wrap tender cauliflower, golden bells, and baby greens in a cream-cheesy sauce with a fresh hint of lemon zest. Then make this comfort food even more comforting with a bread crumb and vegan parmesan topping crisped to perfection.
