This healthy wild rice pilaf features a colorful blend of whole grain rice. Rice is naturally gluten-free and simple, oil-free flavoring makes this plant-based recipe an essential side dish for holidays.
This easy recipe avoids refined sugar or syrup with the natural sweetness of bananas. Pumpkin purée keeps them oil-free while maple extract and pumpkin pie spice mix adds a seasonal flavor.
This oil-free recipe is based on the classic Italian Beans ‘n Greens Soup. It’s name comes from the dark Cavolo Nero kale (aka Tuscan, Lacinato, or Dino kale), but you can use any greens you like.
This delicious Mexican recipe uses red quinoa for a protein and fiber-packed enchilada filling. Roja sauce, made from dried ancho chilies brings a smoky heat to the dish.
This recipe is a vegan take on a classic recipe, Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce. Traditional beef is replaced with hearty Mayacoba beans. You can simmer it in your Slow Cooker, the oven, or right on your stove top.
These make impressive, delightful entrees for a party – who doesn’t like their own portioned entree? Or, simply freeze extras and reheat for a quick meal for one.
