Vegetable Pot PieBy Life and Health NetworkA hearty, home-style pot pie. This one takes a little more time to make, but it is well worth the effort. Make it a day ahead of time and warm it before serving. Tofu-Basil LasagnaBy Life and Health NetworkWhat’s lasagn a without ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan? To an Italian, it’s a travesty. To a vegan or someone with food allergies, it’s a delicious, healthy, one-dish meal that’s bound to also please the meat and dairy-lovers among us. This lasagna in particular has little details that make it special: lots of vegetables, creamy tofu flavored with basil and lemon juice, and toasty pine nuts.Roasted Tomato, Spinach and Basil PastaBy Life and Health NetworkI truly cannot imagine a more perfect pasta dish, especially when it comes to warm summer evenings. This is about as fresh, comforting, and bright as pasta dishes get.Caribbean Burritos with Mango-Lime SalsaBy Life and Health NetworkThis burrito recipe is pure wow, from head to toe. Fragrant coconut-cinnamon rice, fresh and zingy mango-lime salsa, hearty black beans, and exotic toasted coconut flakes…you get the picture. If you’d like to reduce the carb content in this recipe, turn it into a “grain bowl” by omitting the tortilla and just spooning the beans and salsa atop a pile of coconut rice.Asian Tofu FajitasBy Life and Health NetworkWe first tasted these fajitas at a friend's housewarming party.

You can make these enchiladas quickly with storebought sauce and meat substitute, or make both at home. Either way, these enchiladas are worth it. Creamy, slightly spicy, and sky-high in flavor thanks to the bulgur “meat,” corn, and green chiles, they’re the perfect dish for any dinner table.Strawberry Fields SmoothieBy Life and Health NetworkCreated by my dear friends and smoothie wizards Ashley Kim and Rachelle Diaz, this smoothie honestly tastes like what its name implies, with a surprisingly summery note from the basilTangerine Bliss SmoothieBy Life and Health NetworkI was tempted to name this “Tangerine Julius” because of how intensely similar it tastes to the drink sold at the popular mall food court staple “Orange Julius.” It’s frothy, vividly orange, and feels like you’re eating a glass of sunshine.Quick Chia-Nut GranolaBy Life and Health NetworkIt’s dangerous to have crunchy, freshly baked granola sitting on the counter within arm’s reach. This is a small batch so exercise your willpower and appease your temptations with just one hot cluster.
