Peanut-Ginger Tofu Scramble
A favorite among our EatingWell editors, this vegan breakfast scramble is wonderfully versatile, doubling as a satisfying dinner when served with noodles or rice and a side of roasted broccoli.

Chickpea Noodle Soup
This cozy noodle soup is the kind of simple meal that’s worth keeping in your weeknight rotation.

03 of 11
Guingambó Guisado (Okra Stew)
This okra stew is a Puerto Rican dish that showcases tender okra simmered in Spanish-style tomato sauce, onions, peppers, garlic and spices.

Saag Aloo Matar

Curried Butter Beans
Tender butter beans combine with red curry paste and aromatic spices in this hearty plant-based dish. We use butter beans here, but any white bean, like cannellini or navy, would work. Enjoy it on its own or serve it over brown rice or whole-grain noodles for a more filling meal.
06 of 11
Roasted Vegetable Soup
This roasted vegetable soup uses a diverse and delicious array of vegetables, supporting gut health with prebiotic ingredients like sweet potato, leeks and chickpeas, plus you get a probiotic boost from white miso.

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.
08 of 11
Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
There's no cream in this silky mushroom soup. Pureed potatoes give this vegan mushroom soup its creamy texture. Be sure to use Yukon Gold—russets don't provide quite the right texture.

06 of 21
Peanut Butter Stuffed Energy Balls
Peanuts do double duty in this easy snack recipe: peanut butter makes a creamy center while chopped roasted peanuts add a welcome crunch to the exterior. We prefer to use natural peanut butter, which is a little oilier and looser, to help create the gooey center. Dates add a natural sweetness to this healthy snack. Use any leftover date mixture to patch any holes in the energy balls. Pack these bites in your lunchbox for a tasty morning or afternoon snack.
07 of 21

15 of 21
Peanut Butter-Banana Chocolate Bark
The key to this sweet dessert is freezing the bananas so they form the base of the bark. We use peanut butter, but you could swap in your favorite nut butter for an equally delicious treat. Be sure to have the chopped peanuts ready to go as soon as you add the chocolate layer—it hardens quickly since everything is frozen. Press the peanuts lightly to make sure they adhere to the bark.
16 of 21
Apple & Peanut Butter Energy Balls
These energy balls marry two of fall’s best flavors: apples and pumpkin pie spice. You can substitute the applesauce with apple butter for a stronger apple flavor. Don’t confuse dried apples with apple chips! Apple chips have a crisp texture that will make the energy balls too crunchy. If your apple mixture is too sticky and hard to roll, lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or simply refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes before rolling.
