  • Sweet Potato and Black Bean Breakfast Tacos

    Roasted sweet potato cubes and seasoned black beans come together in warm corn tortillas for a filling morning meal. The sweet potato gets a little caramelized at the edges, the beans pick up cumin and a hint of heat, and everything gets topped with creamy avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Bright, hearty, and completely plant-based.

  • Savory Oat Porridge with Mushrooms and Spinach

    Steel-cut oats simmered in vegetable broth turn creamy and savory, the perfect base for earthy sautéed mushrooms and tender wilted spinach. A drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of nutritional yeast bring it all together with warmth and depth. This is comfort food that feels wholesome and bright, a bowl that works just as well for breakfast as it does for a light dinner.

  • Baked Cod with Lemon and Thyme, Sautéed Spinach, and Brown Rice

    Flaky cod bakes with lemon slices and fresh thyme while brown rice simmers on the stove. Fresh spinach wilts in garlic-kissed oil, and everything comes together in a bright, herb-scented plate that feels clean and satisfying. The fish stays tender, the rice picks up all those citrus notes, and you get a proper meal without any fuss.

  • White Bean and Kale Stew with Herbed Polenta

    A hearty tomato-based stew loaded with creamy white beans, tender kale, and plenty of garlic, ladled over soft polenta that's been stirred through with fresh herbs. The beans break down just enough to thicken the broth, the kale wilts into silky ribbons, and the polenta soaks up every bit of that rich tomato base. This is the kind of bowl that warms you from the inside out.

  • Moroccan Chicken with Apricots, Almonds, and Quinoa

    Tender braised chicken thighs simmered with sweet dried apricots and warm Moroccan spices, finished with toasted almonds and served over fluffy quinoa. The chicken turns fall-apart soft in the fragrant sauce while the apricots plump and sweeten, and the almonds add a gentle crunch. Everything comes together in one pot, making cleanup easy on a weeknight.

  • Build-Your-Own Buddha Bowl Night

    A colorful spread of mix-and-match bowls where everyone builds exactly what they want. Massaged kale and crunchy cabbage form the base, joined by tangy pickled cucumbers, crispy marinated tempeh, creamy avocado, and a silky tahini dressing. Roasted sweet potato and chickpeas sit on the side for those who want them, while keto diners load up on greens, tempeh, seeds, and avocado. Everything is completely plant-based, and the setup lets each person customize their bowl to their own needs. Prep most of it ahead, then let everyone assemble at the table.

  • Spaghetti Squash Marinara Bar

    A build-your-own plant-based bowl where roasted spaghetti squash meets a chunky mushroom-zucchini marinara, then splits into two paths. The keto side gets a rich walnut-mushroom crumble, briny olives, and hemp hearts for fat and texture without the carbs. The heartier side adds creamy white beans for a satisfying, complete meal. Everyone tops with fresh basil and builds exactly the plate they want.

  • Mediterranean Bowl with Roasted Vegetables

    Vibrant roasted vegetables tossed with za'atar form the heart of this build-your-own bowl.

Every single component is vegan, so everyone at the table can dig in.

  • Sheet Pan Fajita Vegetables with Split Proteins

    Roasted bell peppers, onions, and poblanos get smoky char alongside chili-lime tofu on a single sheet pan.

Black beans and warm tortillas sit on the side so you can build your plate exactly how you want it, whether you're keeping it low-carb or loading up.

  • Stuffed Bell Peppers with Two Plant-Based Fillings

    Roasted bell pepper halves filled two ways for one table. The classic filling brings quinoa, black beans, corn, and tomatoes with warm spices. The keto filling layers walnut-mushroom crumble over cauliflower rice and spinach, topped with cool avocado crema. Both are completely plant-based, and the keto version keeps carbs low without sacrificing texture or flavour. Roast the peppers once, make both fillings side by side, and let everyone build their own plate.

  • Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai with Crispy Tofu

    Spiralized zucchini tossed in a bright, tangy tamarind-lime sauce with crunchy bean sprouts, scallions, and crushed peanuts, topped with golden-baked tofu cubes.

The zucchini noodles keep the carbs low, and rice noodles are offered separately for anyone who wants them. No sweetened sauce here, just pure tamarind punch balanced with lime and a hint of heat.

  • Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders with Sweet Potato Fries and Steamed Broccoli

    Golden chicken strips coated in crushed rice cereal, baked until they shatter with every bite. Sweet potato wedges roast alongside, edges caramelized and insides fluffy.

Clean, simple, and built to please.
