Marry Me Butternut Squash Steaks

Savor this plant-based take on Marry Me Chicken, featuring butternut squash steaks in place of chicken, all nestled in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Choose butternut squash with a long neck for the steaks, and use the leftover bulb and trimmings for roasting or making soup. Serve this comforting dinner with a side of sautéed greens and crusty whole-grain bread for sopping up the sauce.
Skillet Curry Chickpea Potpie

Treat yourself to this chickpea potpie, featuring 10 grams of fiber enveloped in a fragrant blend of spices and a creamy coconut milk-based sauce. We streamline the prep by cooking everything in one skillet and topping it with a shingled layer of puff pastry, eliminating the need for a bottom crust. This way, you can enjoy a delicious dinner in just about an hour.
Loaded Broccoli Steaks

Roasted broccoli slices topped with cheese, sour cream and bacon create a delicious low-carb swap for traditional loaded potato skins. You can also roast any extra florets alongside the broccoli steaks, or chop them up to add to soups or salads.
Baked Feta-Mushroom Pasta

This feta-mushroom pasta bake brings together the creamy tang of melted feta with the earthy, savory notes of cremini mushrooms. The convenience of pre-sliced cremini mushrooms makes this dish a timesaver, but you can easily switch things up by incorporating other varieties like oyster, shiitake or maitake mushrooms for added depth and complexity.
One-Pot Potato Curry

This potato curry recipe takes inspiration from both north and south Indian dishes, blending the aromatic spices common in the north, with a nod to thoran in the south with the addition of coconut milk. The simplicity of cooking everything in one pot adds to its appeal, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully for a truly comforting meal.
Sheet-Pan Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Roasting the vegetables in the oven before blending them intensifies their flavors, resulting in a deeply rich and flavorful fall soup. We love the sweet and nutty flavor of butternut squash, but any winter squash with a similar texture, such as acorn, honeynut or kabocha squash, can be used in its place.
Garlic-Butter Mushroom Steaks

Garlic-butter mushroom steaks are a savory and delicious plant-based dish perfect for mushroom lovers and steak enthusiasts alike. We pair juicy portobello mushroom “steaks” with a buttery garlic sauce flavored with rosemary, for a mouthwatering combination that’s sure to impress. Swap out the rosemary for another woody herb like sage or thyme for a different twist.
Baked Boursin Spaghetti Squash with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Spinach
Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley
Garlicky, rich and satisfying, this is a baked spaghetti squash that doesn’t disappoint. We love how the flavor of creamy garlic-and-fine herbs Gournay cheese blends with the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, but feel free to experiment by using another savory-flavored Gournay cheese.
Lemony Zucchini Pasta

This lemon zucchini pasta only takes 25 minutes to make, making it ideal for busy summer evenings. Fresh zucchini blends perfectly with the lemony sauce. If you have summer squash on hand, you can use that instead. You can also experiment with topping the pasta with different fresh herbs like basil or parsley to add variety.
Spaghetti Squash Nests with Feta, Tomatoes & Balsamic Drizzle
Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Amanda Stanfield, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle
Nests of tender spaghetti squash with notes of garlic and herbs are filled with perfectly roasted tomatoes and golden-browned feta. Balsamic glaze adds extra acidity and sweetness to every bite. A very sharp chef’s knife is the best way to cut the spaghetti squash into even rounds. If the squash has a particularly tough skin, pierce it with a fork in 4 or 5 different places and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes to soften it for slicing.
Hot Honey Roast Chicken & Vegetables
Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lindsey Lower
This spicy honey chicken has an irresistible sticky-sweet heat thanks to a hot honey glaze that blends beautifully with roasted vegetables. If you prefer a milder heat level, cut back on the cayenne pepper or leave it out altogether.
Easy Cacio e Pepe Sautéed Cabbage
Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lindsey Lower
This cabbage cacio e pepe dish captures the essence of the classic Italian pasta recipe. It features a simple yet flavorful combination of Pecorino Romano cheese and freshly cracked black pepper, coating strips of sliced and sautéed green cabbage. This easy side dish can be enjoyed on its own, or you can turn it into a meal by combining it with cooked whole-wheat pasta.
Buffalo Cauliflower Grain Bowl
Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lindsey Lower
This Buffalo cauliflower grain bowl is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional Buffalo wings, packing plenty of gut-healthy fiber and plant-based protein. It features a variety of fresh and colorful vegetables on a bed of precooked brown rice to keep prep speedy. Feel free to swap out the rice for another whole grain.
Spiced Cauliflower & Whipped Ricotta Pitas

Spiced cauliflower bites sit atop a bright and nutty walnut spread layered with creamy whipped ricotta in this delicious open-face sandwich.
Melting Cherry Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta
Ali Redmond
This simple yet delicious pasta dish combines cherry tomatoes with mozzarella, highlighting their natural sweetness and mozzarella’s creamy, gooey texture. Mozzarella pearls are the perfect size for mixing into the finished dish. If you can’t find them, chopped fresh mozzarella will work well too.
Crustless Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche
Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel
Let this weekend-worthy quiche elevate your next brunch spread. You’ll love how easy it is to pull together without the fuss of baking and filling a crust. We love the convenience of prewashed baby spinach, but any dark leafy green, from kale to Swiss chard, can work well in its place.
Creamy Chicken, Corn & Poblano Skillet Casserole
Photographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling
This zesty skillet chicken casserole is perfect for a busy weeknight. A creamy sauce coats the chicken, offering a flavorful bite with a nice level of heat. Poblano peppers are generally mild, but their heat can vary. For a milder version, you can substitute green bell peppers and omit the jalapeño.
Black Bean Enchilada Skillet
Photographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Prop Stylist: Lydia Pursell, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall
This easy version of black bean enchiladas only needs one pan and skips the hassle of stuffing and rolling corn tortillas. We use mild enchilada sauce to keep the spice level suitable for everyone, but if you prefer more heat, using medium or hot enchilada sauce will add extra zest to your meal.
Zucchini Scampi
Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Amanda Stanfield, Prop Stylist: Tucker Vines
This veggie-packed twist on scampi makes zucchini and summer squash the star of the plate instead of shrimp. We love the mix of squash, but you can use one or the other if you prefer. White wine provides needed acidity and balances well with the aromatic garlic and rich butter to create a luxurious sauce. Charring the lemon is a simple step, but adds complex tart and smoky flavors to this easy side.
