This is my go-to pot pie recipe. It's so good! Sometimes I use a pie crust for the top, and other times I use puff pastry.

My kids love this. The texture of the tofu in this recipe is perfect, and I use this cooking method for tufo all the time now.

Google NYtimes roasted squash with chickpeas. Super hearty nice meal.

My kids have enjoyed these recipes. I leave out spicy stuff if in the recipe or add it separately for adults.

I make this with vegetarian chicken.

Replace the honey with maple syrup depending on how strict you are being.

Thought this mushroom bouruignon with polenta was better than beef bourginion:

We use this recipe all the time with lots of things beyond cauliflower, although I love the caulitflower. THe sauce is great on airfried tofu. I take the heat down a little for my kids but not by much. The last time I did it with tofu I served it over rice noodles and tossed in matchstick carrots and edamame.

Miyokos cheese is the bomb.

Wow - will definitely try that! The other one we made was cashew based and my kid wasn’t a big fan.

If you try this vegan cheese in your Mac N Cheese recipe, you will never want to go back to dairy. My family who is not vegan loves this vegan cheese and refuses to eat regular cheddar.
