Chickpea Rice Casserole with Curried Vegetables (gluten free, soy free and oil free)
I’m not sure why I’m just now getting into casseroles. I mean, I grew up in the midwest where casseroles are practically their own food group. Really, the idea is quite genius. You put a bunch of stuff in a pan, put it in the oven and forget about it while it bakes. Then, 30-60 minutes later you have a main course with little effort.
Crispy Oil Free Falafel (with oven and air fryer options)
This falafel is vegan and gluten free and it’s crispy even though it is not fried! Holy crap, you guys, I finally got an air fryer. I’ve been hearing you all rave about them for years and I finally see what the fuss is about. You don’t need an air fryer to make this recipe (I’ve included conventional oven instructions) but it sure does an amazing job of crisping these little puppies right up.
Veggie Burgers – Made with Red Lentils and Millet (vegan, gluten free and soy free)
I made a batch of these veggie burgers yesterday. I promptly ate a couple of them like cookies (because I just didn’t have the energy for much else) and put the rest in the freezer for future meals. There are plenty of store bought veggie burgers out there but making your own is easy! It’s also inexpensive and you can make a big batch to save for future meals. There are days when I just don’t have it in me to make a meal from scratch (see the above example of me eating veggie burgers like cookies for proof of this). Being able to quickly heat up a veggie burger from the fridge or freezer is a dream.
Easy Coconut Curry with Garbanzo Beans (vegan, gluten free with oil free option)
This coconut milk curry is a year round staple for me. It’s something I can usually pull together without a trip to the store. You can make it with whatever vegetables you have on hand and it’s a great entree to meal prep in advance. It can be served on top of your favorite grain but I encourage you to try it with this turmeric spiced rice for a colorful meal.
Creamy Broccoli and Kale Soup
Fall weather = soup! This creamy broccoli and kale soup is quick to make. It freezes well and is great for winter meal prepping. Relying on cashews instead of dairy, this soup is suitable for those following a vegan, dairy-free, soy-free and whole foods plant based diet.
Curried Red Lentils with Sweet Potatoes and Turmeric Spiced Rice
These curried red lentils are vegan, gluten free, soy free and have an oil free option. They are a regular meal at my house and this recipe is a great one for your meal prep rotation. I like to make a pot of lentils to …
Vegan meatballs (soy free, gluten free and oil free)
Served here on gluten free pasta, these meatballs are packed with protein and flavor. You can make them in advance and freeze them for easy future meals and can even crumble them for an easy whole food based “meat” substitute.
Easy Tofu Scramble (Vegan, GF with oil-free option)
This tofu scramble is what I want to eat when I’m feeling nostalgic for a greasy diner breakfast. Because it is baked and only requires one pan to make, it’s a meal that can come together with little work. There is an oil free option in the notes of the recipe. The potatoes can be replaced with sweet potatoes if you prefer or if you are sensitive to nightshades.
