Roasted Radishes with Curry Dip
Roasting radishes creates a whole new vegetable as it tames their spiciness and transforms them into nuggets full of mellow sweetness. The radishes are also excellent when tossed with herb mixtures such as herbes de Provence or za’atar before roasting.
1 lb (450 g) radishes, trimmed and halved
2 tsp (10 mL) grapeseed oil
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
1/2 cup (125 mL) plain yogurt or sour cream
1 tsp (5 mL) curry powder
1 Tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
Preheat oven to 400 F (200C).
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss radishes with oil, salt, and pepper. Place in oven and bake for 35 minutes, stirring once halfway, or until wrinkled and tender.
In small bowl, whisk together sour cream, curry powder, and lemon juice.
Serve roasted radishes with curry sauce.

Vegan Queso Dip
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more. Paired with chips, crackers, or crudités, this creamy, zesty, smoky, and oh-so-satisfying dip is easy enough to whip up for a cozy snack or as an appetizer for company. Go nuts! If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
Banana French Toast with Raspberry Syrup
Custardy French toast drizzled in pure maple syrup is a cozy, cold-weather breakfast classic. We’ve given this recipe a vegan makeover by swapping out eggs in the batter with mashed banana and a bit of ground flaxseed. This clever swap makes the French toast reminiscent of banana bread. Top it off with a decadent drizzle of raspberry syrup and you’re just a quick stint in the kitchen away from breakfast bliss. Citrus swap If you don’t have any bananas around, consider swapping for an orange. In blender, add zest of one large orange along with peeled fruit and other batter ingredients. Blend until smooth and proceed with the recipe as described.
Supersalad with Sprouted Quinoa, Beans, and Roasted Veggies
A satisfying plant-based dinner or packed lunch, quinoa and beans add filling protein, while greens, cucumbers, roasted veggies, and a probiotic-rich dressing bring texture and flavour. Try it with a creamy plant-based cheese on top, or goat cheese for non-plant-based eaters. Mix and match Use this recipe as a guideline. Add in your go-tos such as chopped walnuts or hemp hearts, pitted sliced dates, roasted cauliflower, and crumbled feta (plant-based, if desired).
Curried Coconut Lentil and Rice Porridge
Brown rice and two varieties of lentils cook in one pot with broth, coconut milk, and simple spices. Nourishing spinach and sweet green peas bring this meal to life. It’s true sunshine in a bowl for those cold winter nights. Main grains White basmati rice, short-grain brown rice, quinoa, or millet can be used in place of the brown basmati rice. Try a mixture of grains for added nutrition and taste (e.g., millet and basmati rice, quinoa and millet, and so on).
