Vegetables in Coconut Curry
by SimpleVeda’s Christina Vargas
If you like the flavors of Indian cuisine, this is a super easy veggie dish in coconut milk that I love!! When I’m not sure what to do with all the veggies in the fridge, I resort to this!! Today I added chickpeas to it!

Chicken Salad Salad
by Kirsten G.
Formula = protein+nut+crunchy+herb+greens, and just spoonful or two of vegan mayo (I like Spectrum or Just Mayo brands), plus a light dressing of rice bran oil or olive oil, lemon juice, a bit of dijon mustard whisked together, kosher salt and pepper. (Toss some of the dressing in with the chicken salad mix and some on the greens too). Today, I used shredded roast chicken, toasted walnuts, apple, fresh parsley, on a bed of butter lettuce and radicchio. Alternative combos: tuna in olive oil, toasted almonds, celery or cucumber, fresh tarragon. Gluten-free, dairy-free, high protein, low-carb. Only a teensy bit of sugar I suppose in the dijon and vegan mayo but think considering all the nutrition it offers, worth it. Even if you omit those, it works. Adjust to your liking. Enjoy!
Cauliflower+Fennel+Celery Root Soup
Shared by Kirsten G.
No cream necessary! Makes about 6 servings. Just two of us last night, so we froze the rest in individual servings in small mason jars. (We served this alongside grilled salmon and a simple butter lettuce salad with white balsamic vinaigrette.)

A Veggie Stir-fry

Go-to good for you ‘recipe’
By Dawn A.
When I am short on time/ am not feeling up to par…I take Traders Joe’s chicken and veggie soup and give it an upgrade. 🙂 I add an extra container of bone broth and typically add any extra veggies floating around my fridge – tho you can be more deliberate with veggies of your choice. Sometimes I add extra chicken if I have some in my fridge or I grab a rotisserie chicken and pull off the meat for extra flavor/protein. This is can easily become a well balanced nutritionally dense soup w just a few upgrades!
