Ingredients
Serves: 3-4 Time: 35-40 minutes
Loaded Mac and Cheese
1/2 Box Pasta: macaroni, penne, rigatoni, or shell
1 Tbs vegan butter
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup vegan mozzarella (optional)
1/4 cup non-dairy milk (we used Planet Oat)
1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp old bay seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
Directions
In a large pot, begin boiling enough water to cover the pasta.
In a small pan, add the drained kidney beans and combine them with the garlic, bay leaf, and old bay. Set heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow it to simmer for about 10-12 minutes.
In another pot or using a colander over the pasta water, boil or steam the broccoli until tender but still bright green.
Once the pasta water is boiling, add in the pasta and cook until soft.
Set broccoli aside for later once cooked.
After the pasta has cooked, remove it from the stove and drain water. Return to stove on low heat.
Add vegan butter, nutritional yeast, non-dairy milk, and optional vegan cheese to the pasta. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf from the beans and combine the beans with the pasta.
Add the broccoli to the pasta.
Stir well, taste, and adjust seasoning as desired.
Serve with chopped scallions or extra cheese and enjoy!

Ingredients
Yield: 24-30 Time: 30 Minutes
No-Sugar Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/3 cup flour
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cup raisins
1/4 Dairy-free milk, as needed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two sheet pans, lightly greased or lined with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, applesauce, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and combine well. The batter should be free of lumps.
Use your hands to fold in the oats and raisins.
The dough should be tacky but not sticky. If the dough is too dry and flaky, add a splash of dairy-free milk until the dough is moldable (but not sticky).
Roll the dough out into walnut-sized balls, placing them on the sheet pans about an inch and a half to two inches apart.
Place cookies in the oven and make for 10-12 minutes.

Thai Basil Tofu (Pad Krapow) made with fresh Thai basil, tofu, and vegetables stir-fried and served over rice. This dish is perfect for plant-based diets, but you can always substitute the protein for shrimp, chicken, or beef. If you can’t find Thai basil, just substitute for regular basil you can find at any grocery store. This dish is not made to be spicy, but you can make it spicy by adding chili flakes to the sauce or towards the end of cooking.
2 Tbs Thai Basil leaves (de-stemmed, chopped)*save for the very end
Directions
In a bowl or measuring cup, mix together your sauce ingredients. Set aside the basil until the very end.
Then, prepare your protein and vegetables, and begin cooking your rice.
In a skillet or wok, heat a bit of sesame oil on high and cook your tofu (or other protein). Cook until lightly crispened and then remove from the pan.
Then, add in the onion, pepper, carrot, and zucchini, and begin to stir-fry.
Cook the vegetables for 7-8 minutes or until they begin to soften and the onions are translucent.
Then, add in the broccoli and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan, creating a gap in the middle that exposes the bottom of the pan. Give the sauce a good final stir and then pour it into the pan.
Allow the sauce to sit, bubble, and darken. Once it begins to do so, stir the sauce into the vegetables and add back in your protein.
Cook for another 4-5 minutes. Top with the basil.
Serve with rice or rice noodles and enjoy!
Optionally, you may top the dish with chili flakes or sriracha for that extra kick.
