1.Chicken Fajita Stir-Fry
2.Vegetarian Gumbo
This Louisiana-inspired vegan dinner is amazing. It has butternut squash, tomatoes, poblano peppers, and okra. Spicy 30-minute vegetarian gumbo makes a quick dinner. Serve dinner with olive oil-drizzled cornmeal.
3.Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes in One Pot
Why not appreciate this simple, fresh, and healthy one-pot pasta dinner? Sauce-based spaghetti saves time and cleans up while adding flavor. This simple recipe permits easy ingredient swaps (see the creative variations below).
4.Weeknight Lemon Chicken Skillet Dinner
No meal is easier or tastier than this one-pan chicken. Dinner can be served in 30 minutes without many dishes. Tender haricots verts are used because the short boiling time at the end may not tenderize green beans. You only have that? Add them to the pan for the final stage after steaming.

7.Cilantro-Mint-Shallot Cashew, Chickpea, Pasta Salad
In our humble opinion, the dressing makes this salad. The shallots make this cilantro-mint-shallot vinaigrette tart and crisp. You’ll use it often. Make the dressing and chop the veggies while the pasta boils. Enjoy mixing everything!
8.We Think Everyone Should Make Rendang Jamur
In Indonesia, rendang is a specialty. West Sumatran Minangkabaus invented this spicy cuisine, but families around the archipelago produce their own. This vegetarian dish employs oyster mushrooms’ meaty texture (any mushrooms will work).
