Any leftovers can be stored in a container for about 3 days in the fridge then reheated in the oven or microwave.

This is more delicious than I would have imagined! Thank you!

I followed the recipe pretty much as is and it turned out great. My eggplant and tomato were much bigger than the squashes, but it still looked pretty. I made it with couscous (with the flavorings of the recipe).

This Veggie-Packed Vegan Fried Rice is a wholesome plant-based twist on the classic egg fried rice. With just a few ingredients and your favorite fresh or frozen vegetables, you can enjoy a flavorful, nutritious dish that&#039;s stir-fried to perfection in just over 30 minutes!

Veggie-Packed Vegan Fried Rice

½ cups of water, (or more as needed)

onion, (or large shallot, chopped)

garlic, (finely chopped)

1 inch ginger, (peeled and finely chopped)

carrots

mushrooms

sweet potato,

salt ((or

soy sauce, (tamari, or coconut aminos)

red bell pepper

kale

red cabbage

herbs

¼ cup of toasted nuts

sesame oil

Black pepper pepper

Begin by cooking your rice. Just stir, add water, cover, bring to a boil, and lower to a simmer. Let cook undisturbed for 10-15 min until rice is cooked through and water has been absorbed completely.

While rice is cooking, slice and chop all veggies and set aside. When rice is almost done, begin cooking veggies in the largest pan you have, a wok is perfect if you have one.

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat and add onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the onion begins to soften and the garlic is fragrant (stir frequently so the garlic doesn&#39;t burn). Add carrots, mushrooms, and sweet potato. Stir fry for an additional 4-5 minutes until the sweet potato begins to soften.

Add ½ tablespoon of sweetener, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or substitute) and stir to combine. Add kale and cabbage and let simmer over medium heat until kale and cabbage have wilted about 3-4 minutes. Transfer veggies to a large bowl and season to taste.

When rice is done, use the same pan/wok and heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir fry with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, ½ tablespoon sweetener, a pinch of salt and pepper. Keep stirring and stir-frying until rice begins to dry out a bit, if they get a little crispy, even better.

Add veggies back into the pan with rice and toss well, add fresh herbs if using, and top with nuts/seeds before serving if desired. Season to taste as needed. Enjoy!

This was delicious! Had to add a little more tamari while I was eating but after that it was perfect. Just wanted to mention that you've put bell pepper in the ingredients but I don't see it in the instructions, I added it with the carrot, sweet potato and mushrooms.

It's a colorful treat that everyone will enjoy. 

4th of July Fudge

unsalted butter

evaporated milk

marshmallow creme

white chocolate chips

Red and blue gel food coloring

Line a 9x5 loaf pan with foil and set aside. Ready three heat-safe bowls and three spatulas for creating the fudge layers.

In a large saucepan combine butter, sugar, and evaporated milk. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add marshmallow creme and white chocolate chips and stir again until they are melted. Add vanilla extract at the last minute. Do not over heat the mixture. Once melted removed from heat.

Working quickly, divide the fudge between the three bowls. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one and a few drops of blue to another. Stir in coloring using only the spatula or spoon for that color. Do not mix colors.

Pour the fudge into the loaf pan in layers in the order of red, white, and finally blue. Smooth each layer with the back of a clean spoon.

Once all the layers are in, take a knife and drag it through all the layers, nearly touching the bottom of the pan. Work quickly as this is a quick set fudge.

Allow fudge to fully set for at least 2 hours before cutting into small squares about 1 inch wide.

arrowroot powder

tsp each salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika + Italian herb blend

Next, add in the broccoli. Bring the water back to a boil and cook for another 5 minutes. Drain the vegetables and transfer to a flat bowl lined with paper towels. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Then, remove the paper towel and mash everything until mostly mashed. Add in the olive oil, arrowroot powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian herb blend and mix well until a smooth dough forms.

Using your hands, form about 1/4 cup size balls and flatten them out as best as you can. Add 2-3 cubes of your cheese to the center and close them up. Now gently flatten them into a disc. Repeat.

Add a drizzle of olive oil to your long griddle pan and heat on medium-high. Add in the vegetable cakes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Lower heat if they start to brown too quickly.
