White beans make a fiber-filled swap for gnocchi in this cheesy, indulgent skillet full of white beans, mushrooms, and marinara.

White Beans with Mushrooms and Marinara

mushrooms (2.29)

olive oil (0.32)

salt and pepper (0.05)

garlic (0.16)

marinara (or more to your liking) (1.00)

15 butter beans (2.00)

basil (0.05)

red pepper (0.02)

mozzarella (0.65)

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash and slice the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a deep skillet. Sauté the mushrooms until they have wilted and all the moisture in the skillet has evaporated.

While the mushrooms are sautéing, mince the garlic, drain and rinse the butter beans. Add the garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes more.

Add the rinsed butter beans, marinara, basil, and red pepper to the skillet. Stir everything to combine, then allow it to heat through, stirring occasionally.

While the skillet is heating through, shred the mozzarella. Top the skillet with the mozzarella, then cover the skillet with foil. Transfer the skillet to the oven* and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Once the cheese has melted, remove the foil, switch the oven to broil, and broil the skillet for a few minutes more to brown the cheese (watch closely, as browning can happen quickly with the broiler). Serve hot, with garlic bread for dipping!

This super fast and inexpensive tofu stir fry is super filling, easy enough for busy weeknights, and endlessly customizable!

Quick Tofu Stir Fry

Tbsp soy sauce (0.18)

Tbsp brown sugar (0.08)

water (0.00)

tsp toasted sesame oil (0.10)

garlic, minced (0.16)

tsp ginger (0.10)

Tbsp cooking oil (0.08)

extra firm tofu (1.79)

peanuts (0.12)

½ lb. coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) (0.90)

green onions, sliced (0.20)

Tbsp sriracha (optional) (0.11)

Prepare the stir fry sauce first. In a bowl combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set the sauce aside.

Slice the green onion and chop the peanuts.

Take the tofu out of the package, draining away any liquid from the package (no need to press the tofu as the water will be cooked out). Crumble the tofu into a bowl.

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Once the skillet and oil are very hot, add the crumbled tofu and stir fry for about 5 minutes, or until there is no longer any water pooling on the bottom of the skillet.

Add the prepared stir fry sauce to the skillet and continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes more. Finally, add the slaw mix and chopped peanuts and stir fry for 1-2 minutes more, or just until the cabbage begins to wilt. Top with sliced green onions and a drizzle of sriracha, then serve!

These kale and white bean power bowls are full of flavor, texture, protein, fiber, and other nutrients. Perfect for meal prep! 

Kale and White Bean Power Bowls

brown rice (0.40)

olive oil (0.52)

Tbsp red wine vinegar (0.30)

Dijon mustard (0.05)

Tbsp Italian seasoning (0.15)

garlic powder (0.02)

salt (0.02)

tsp black pepper (0.02)

lb. chopped fresh kale (6 cups) (1.15)

Tbsp cooking oil (0.02)

garlic, minced (0.08)

15 cannellini beans (0.07)

sun dried tomatoes (0.83)

walnuts (0.03)

feta (1.14)

Begin cooking the rice first. The remaining bowl ingredients can be prepared while the rice is cooking. Add the rice and 2 cups water to a saucepot. Place a lid on top and bring the water up to a full boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and let the rice simmer for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, turn the heat off and let the rice sit with the lid in place for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff just before serving.

While the rice is cooking, make the vinaigrette so the flavors have a little time to blend. In a jar or bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine, or close the jar and shake until combined. Set the dressing aside.

Add the cooking oil and minced garlic to a large pot or skillet. Sauté the garlic over medium heat for about one minute. Add the chopped kale and salt. Sauté for a few more minutes, or just until the kale is wilted. Set the kale aside.

Finally, prepare the rest of the toppings. Rinse and drain the white beans. Chop the sun dried tomatoes and walnuts. Crumble the feta.

When the rice has finished cooking, it&#039;s time to assemble the bowls. Add about ¾ cup rice to each bowl or container, followed by ½ cup sautéed kale, ⅓ cup beans, and a tablespoon each of sun dried tomatoes and walnuts. Sprinkle a little feta over each bowl. Divide the vinaigrette between four small containers. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Reheat the bowls using a microwave just before serving, then drizzle with vinaigrette, stir, and enjoy!

This Curry Chickpea Salad is a fast and easy no-cook lunch that&#39;s perfect for summer. Light, fresh, filling, tangy, and flavorful!

Dijon mustard (0.03)

tsp honey (0.06)

curry powder (0.15)

salt (0.01)

15 chickpeas (0.55)

cilantro (0.17)

onion

Prepare the dressing first. Stir together the yogurt, Dijon, honey, curry powder, and salt. Set the dressing aside.

Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas. Chop the cilantro and finely chop the red onion. If you&#39;d like to soften the flavor of the red onion, first slice it and then let the slices soak in cold water for about five minutes. Drain the onion, then finely chop.

Combine the chickpeas, chopped cilantro, chopped red onion, and the prepared dressing in a bowl. Stir to combine. If you prefer, you can slightly mash the chickpeas to create a different texture. Taste and adjust the salt or other ingredients to your liking. Serve cold.

Quickie Black Eyed Peas and Greens

15 ounces. cans black eyed peas (2.37)

tsp dried oregano (0.05)

tsp smoked paprika (0.05)

cayenne pepper (0.02)

tsp black pepper (0.03)

Add the fresh spinach to the pot and stir until it has wilted into the peas. Give the peas a taste and adjust the salt or seasoning to your liking. Serve hot with bread or rice.

Simple, fresh shaved fennel salad recipe that&#039;s crunchy, tangy, sweet, salty and soo good! This makes a perfect light vegetarian lunch or dinner salad.

Shaved Fennel Salad with Lemon and Celery

large (or 2 small) fennel bulbs (stalks trimmed off and fronds reserved)

celery (rinsed,

red onion

mint parsley leaves

unsalted walnuts (chopped* (see note below))

Medjool dates (pitted and diced)

goat Gouda or Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

lemon

Flaky kosher or sea salt

lemon juice

Extra virgin olive oil

Peel the base of the fennel bulb with a swivel vegetable peeler to remove the tougher outer layer.  Slice the fennel very thinly using a sharp knife or shave on a mandoline. Add to a large platter or shallow serving bowl.

Trim off the very top and base of the celery stalks and slice in half horizontally. Lay them flat on a work surface, using a swivel peeler to make thin strips. When the stalks are too whittled down to peel, use a knife to slice the remaining stalk into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the strips and pieces to the bowl along with the red onion and mint. Tangle everything together.

To serve, top the fennel mixture with the walnuts, dates, cheese, lemon zest and a big pinch of salt. Toss gently, then add the lemon juice and a good drizzle of oil. Toss again and tasted, adding more salt, lemon juice or olive oil to taste.

mushrooms (0.75)

grape tomatoes (1.25)

Tbsp cooking oil (0.04)

fresh spinach (0.50)

Tbsp butter* (0.09)

While waiting for the water to boil, slice the mushrooms and cut the tomatoes in half.

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt to the skillet and sauté until they have released all of their moisture and water is no longer pooling on the bottom of the skillet (about 5-7 minutes).

Add the tomatoes and sauté for about two minutes more, or just until they&#39;re heated through (they&#39;ll continue to cook more after other ingredients are added). Add the spinach and sauté just until wilted.

Finally, add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet along with the butter. Toss until everything is coated in melted butter. Turn the heat off.

Season with garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper, then toss to coat. Give the pasta a taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If the pasta gets too dry as you&#39;re tossing with the seasoning, just add a splash of the reserved pasta water. Serve immediately and enjoy.
