Spinach Rice Salad
This vegan spinach rice salad is the best summer lunch! Made with brown rice and a lemony dressing, it’s nutritious, satisfying, and simple.

Vegan Sheet Pan Gnocchi
This vegan sheet pan gnocchi is an easy, hands-off dinner that is bursting with color and flavor. Roasting the vegetables and gnocchi separately ensures that the gnocchi stays nice and crispy.

This vegan dish of chickpeas à la King is cozy, comforting, and quite nostalgic for anyone who’s a fan of the traditional chicken recipe! It’s super quick and easy to make, and you can serve it over rice, toast, or whatever you like. I ate quite a few Stouffer’s frozen dinners growing up, and I loved them.

Springtime in New York City can be a chilly season. All the more reason…
