Our Opinion


Alright fellow busy parents, we know the struggle of coming home after a long day of work and trying to whip up a healthy and delicious meal for the family. But fear not, because we have some plant-based dinner recipes that are not only easy to make, but will also satisfy even the pickiest eaters.

First up, we have a mouthwatering Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry. This dish is bursting with flavor and can be whipped up in under 30 minutes. Simply sauté some onions, garlic, and ginger in a pan, add in some diced tomatoes, coconut milk, chickpeas, and cauliflower, and let it simmer until everything is nice and tender. Serve over a bed of fluffy rice and garnish with fresh cilantro. Voila, dinner is served!

Next on the menu is a hearty Lentil Shepherd’s Pie. This dish is perfect for those chilly nights when you need something comforting and filling. Start by simmering lentils in a pot with some vegetable broth, onions, carrots, and herbs until they are soft and flavorful. Then, whip up a batch of creamy mashed potatoes to top it all off. Pop it in the oven to get that nice crispy top, and you’ve got yourself a winner-winner plant-based dinner.

And for those nights when you’re feeling a little LAZY (we’ve all been there), a simple yet satisfying Pasta Primavera is the way to go. Cook up your favorite pasta and toss it with sautéed bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and a generous sprinkling of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Quick, easy, and oh-so-delicious.

So there you have it, busy parents. With these plant-based dinner recipes in your arsenal, you can conquer those weeknights like a BOSS. And not to mention, your family will be thanking you for serving up such tasty and nourishing meals. So go ahead, give them a try and let us know how it goes. Happy cooking!
