The more common version of this meal is made with white rice, minced meat, and several spices. For New Year’s Eve, I made a vegan version using brown Jasmine rice, hummus, herbs, and spices. This can be a time-consuming dish, but it is very rewarding and delicious. Perfect for cooking with family!

Hummus is a versatile ingredient and a good source of fiber, packed with vitamins and minerals such as manganese, copper, folate, and iron.
Naturally free of gluten, dairy, and nuts and enjoyed as a dip, spread, or as a condiment.

A refreshing and festive salad with complex carbs and protein! Super quick & easy to prepare especially if you have roasted potatoes & cooked beans on hand! Double or triple it and serve it on this Thanksgiving Day

The bean mix is so versatile! Great on its own, on greens, or sweet potatoes as the reel shows!

Mujadara is a very popular Middle Eastern dish that is typically made with lentils, white rice or cracked wheat (less common), caramelized onions, a few spices & water. ​It is a nutritious, delicious, economical, & sustainable dish. 

The star of this dish is the lentils! Legumes such as lentils use fewer resources, build the soil & create affordable & incredibly healthy dishes. For a more nutrient-dense version of this dish, I’m replacing white rice with quinoa. Whenever I cooked & shared this dish with others they raved about its deliciousness!!!
