Ginger Hibiscus Mocktail

I love this ginger hibiscus mocktail so much! It’s beautiful, has some weight in the flavor department thanks to the hibiscus, and is quite simple to put together. The most straightforward version of this mocktail is to use ginger beer. For a slightly more interesting mocktail, try making our homemade ginger syrup. Both versions are listed in the recipe.

Easy Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

My family loves this pumpkin mac and cheese recipe! Pumpkin puree makes a velvety, rich mac and cheese. Use pure pumpkin puree, not the can labeled “pumpkin pie mix,” since spices are added.

Easy Tomato Broth

We love this homemade tomato broth made from fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, and smoked paprika. It’s flavorful and a little smoky, making it perfect for using as a base for vegetable dishes. Use this tomato broth for soups, stews, and rice dishes like risotto.

This easy apple tart is best served warm. We love it alone, but adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream does not hurt.

Essential Mushroom Powder

This mushroom powder seasoning is our secret to making almost any savory dish taste better. We stir it into soups, stews, beans, taco fillings, and more! Keep this seasoning blend next to your salt and pepper. Anytime you find a dish that needs a boost of flavor, add a teaspoon or two and then see how magical this blend can be.

Easy Margherita Pizza

This is our family’s favorite way to make Margherita pizza at home! We use our favorite homemade pizza dough, an authentic no-cook pizza sauce, mozzarella, and basil. We highly recommend our recipe for homemade pizza dough, but store-bought dough works.

Tangy Homemade BBQ Sauce

If you can add ingredients to a saucepan, you can make this easy homemade BBQ sauce. This homemade sauce is better than anything you can buy at the store! It’s made with pantry staples like ketchup, brown sugar, and cider vinegar and is ready in under 20 minutes. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month!

Easy Coconut Black Beans

These coconut black beans cannot get much easier. You just need a little bit of time. Throw everything into a large pot and simmer until the beans are tender. Using coconut milk for the liquid makes the beans extra creamy. They have a delicate coconut flavor, which is delicious when you squeeze fresh lime on top before serving. When choosing the coconut milk, make sure it is unsweetened. For the creamiest beans,

Avocado Salsa Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Our family loves these stuffed sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are soft and sweet, and the salsa is fresh, bright, and flavorful. I love this as a light meal or on the side to other dishes.

Easy Steel Cut Oats

Steel cut oats are whole oat groats cut into small bits (instead of rolled into flat discs like with rolled oats). They take slightly longer to cook than other oat varieties but are delicious. When cooked, steel cut oats have a creamy, chewy texture. We love them topped with fruit and nut butter, but take a look at our article above for topping suggestions.

Easy Focaccia Bread

This is my tried and true, easy focaccia bread recipe. You don’t need special equipment, and it’s basically no-knead. The secret to the best focaccia is using a great olive oil. We use a 1/2 cup of olive oil in this recipe, so use an olive oil you love. I often use Partanna olive oil since it’s mid-range in price and tastes great in this bread recipe.

Easy Vegan Mac and Cheese

My family loves this creamy mac and cheese made with non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast, and the perfect blend of spices. You can make this as a stovetop or baked mac and cheese! If you decide to bake this, add some breadcrumbs on top so they brown and turn crisp

Easy Farro Salad

We’ve fallen in love with this delicious farro salad made with cooked farro, sweet apples, arugula, and a bright salad dressing. You can buy whole farro, cracked, and pearled farro. All will work in this salad, but the cooking time will change depending on what you have. Check the package directions for guidance on actual cook time and liquid requirements.
