Buddha’s Delight

Photographer: Jacob Fox, Food Stylist: Sammy Mila, Prop Stylist: Gabriel Greco


With its roots in Buddhist tradition, this dish can be found on the tables of many Cantonese families on the first day of the Lunar New Year but it’s a great dinner year-round. While bean thread noodles are a must, you can use a variety of veggies. This version’s earthy flavor comes from rehydrated mushrooms combined with napa cabbage, snow peas, carrots and baby corn.

This simple vegetarian pasta bake is rich in protein and comes together effortlessly in the slow cooker, for a convenient one-pot meal. The combination of sun-dried tomatoes, sun-dried tomato pesto and plenty of veggies delivers a mix of sweet and savory flavors with every bite.

Give your veggie servings a boost with this easy spaghetti with spinach sauce recipe. Loosely inspired by the flavors of classic pesto, this vibrant pasta packs in plenty of spinach and basil with a garnish of nutty walnuts and savory Parmesan cheese. Serve with a drizzle of good olive oil and a green salad on the side.

One-Pot White Bean, Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo with Lemon & Feta

Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless


This one-pot pasta dish with white beans, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes is lively and vibrant and leaves you with an easy cleanup. Toasting the orzo before adding the broth adds another layer of flavor. Another dark leafy green like chopped kale or Swiss chard can stand in for the spinach, but may take longer to wilt in the pan. If you use a sturdier green, add it to the pan during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Creamy Chicken Florentine Casserole

This creamy chicken Florentine casserole combines tender pieces of chicken, fresh spinach and a rich, creamy sauce, all baked to perfection with a golden, cheesy crust.

Chicken, Spinach & Feta Wraps

This chicken, spinach and feta wrap recipe is elevated by the convenience of rotisserie chicken and the scrumptious flavor of sun-dried tomatoes. Whisk together the easy dressing, toss with the chicken, add spinach and wrap it all together for a delicious lunch.

Crispy Salmon Rice Bowl

Ali Redmond


Tender pieces of salmon get a sweet and crispy coating thanks to a sweet and savory teriyaki glaze in this salmon rice bowl. We love crunchy cucumber and creamy avocado as toppings, but feel free to add whatever veggies you like best.

Braised Lentils & Kale with Fried Eggs

Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Melissa Gray, Prop Stylist: Shell Royster


These braised lentils are cooked with tender kale and bathed in a fire-roasted tomato broth with an egg on top to pack in the protein. We like how the soft, runny yolk coats the dish.
