Whether it’s movie night or game day, staying in shouldn’t mean skimping on quality fare. If you follow along on Instagram, you’ve seen me make Beans and Greens on IG Stories, likely one time too many. This is hands-down my favorite go-to movie night and game day dish. Beans & Greens is cozy enough for when you’re wearing your favorite pajamas and watching Netflix, yet versatile enough to serve as a main course. In fact, this might just be one of the most adaptable and forgiving dishes to keep in your recipe arsenal.

Are you familiar with the tortilla wrap hack that went viral? I’ll show you how to do it here! While we are not a vegan family, we do eat plant based quite often – especially in the months when the harvest provides. And in the winter, while braised chicken and slow-cooked stews have their honorary place in my kitchen, so do our trusted friends, potatoes and onions. These loaded sweet potato and ranch tortillas have become a family favorite! The best part is they’re so versatile, we hardly ever make them the same way twice! In today’s version we’re serving them alongside a homemade creamy, big-flavored, vegan ranch – trust…

Lentils add a hearty texture and an earthy flavor to an otherwise simple, pantry-inspired pasta dish. Winter cooking lends itself to making good use of winter pantry staples, like lentils and canned tomatoes, along with those odds and ends that we don’t always have a plan for in the refrigerator, I’m talking about you lone carrot in the crisper. Uncork the red wine (…and save some for the dish), grab an onion, a few cloves of garlic, and you’ll have a hot and spicy fire-roasted lentil bolognese to warm your soul on a cold winter’s night.

With pears in season until February, I like to find a lot of different ways to enjoy them. Today I’ve sliced and tossed them into a pear, lentil, and chickpea salad – but what I enjoy most about this recipe is the white wine pear dressing! A combination of wine, shallot, pears, and pure maple. It’s so bright and robust and it makes plenty to keep and enjoy over the next few days, too. This dish will nourish and satisfy you during these still uncertain times, chock full of nutrient-packed chickpeas, lentils, hearty greens, and sliced ripe winter pears.

Look no further… game day and movie night just got way healthier, and equally delicious. These buffalo cauliflower “wings” are a finger-licking-fantastic alternative to boneless buffalo chicken, especially if you want to add a delectable way to enjoy your veggies! You don’t have to be vegetarian to immensely enjoy these either. These little bites have become so frequently requested, that we’ve begun to make them more than our traditional buffalo chicken wings! Yep, they’re really that good….
