Fire up the grill for this decadent pizza! It’s topped with a creamy garlic sauce and a touch of fragrant basil. A flavorful mix of crimini, shiitake, and white button mushrooms are sautéed in a crisp, dry white wine before they are layered on the pizza with mozzarella cheese. The final result is a delicious reason to take the cooking outside regardless of the weather.
Rich oyster mushrooms are combined with creamy ricotta and sweet cherry tomatoes in these bite-size toasts. The microgreens sprinkled on top add a burst of refreshing lemon flavor that balances the pleasant earthiness of the mushrooms for an appetizer or snack that is both beautifully presented and delicious.
"This quick, filling dish is good anytime of day," writes Delia Kennedy of Deer Park, Washington. "I often make it when we come in from gardening, hunting or fishing and don't feel like preparing a big dinner."
1. Cauliflower Gnocchi - If you’re looking for a potato alternative, this cauliflower gnocchi is sure to satisfy. Made in Italy, these little dumplings can be cooked from frozen — whether crisped up in a sauté pan, boiled or even microwaved — before being tossed in your choice of sauce.
2. Cauliflower Pizza Crust - The crust, made from riced cauliflower, corn flour, potato starch, olive oil and salt, doesn’t contain the massive amount of cheese usually found in other cauliflower pizza crusts (while cheese is not a bad thing, sometime you want it in moderation, right?), which means each slice contains just 80 calories. Add toppings and enjoy pizza or cut the crust into strips for cauliflower breadsticks — the possibilities are endless!
3. Stacked Eggplant Parmesan - Though there may be a few different variations of eggplant parmesan floating around the freezer chests of Trader Joe’s, this product in particular is the one to look out for. The 12-ounce box costs $3.49 and contains

4. Riced Cauliflower Stir-Fry - Molly Morgan, R.D., C.D.N., owner of Creative Nutrition Solutions, tells SELF that this quickie stir-fry is great for a meal or side dish, especially when served with a side of protein like grilled chicken, steak, or tofu. And if you’re really in a rush, pair it with a premade protein source like shredded rotisserie chicken.

As someone with his fair share of mental health challenges, I don’t always have the bandwidth to cook. Sometimes a bout of depression has me moving at a snail’s pace. Other times, my short attention span makes it difficult to create anything too complicated.
Not going to lie... these wraps were born out of literal desperation. My body was screeching, “VEGETABLES! VEGETABLES!” and my mental illness responded, “Too much work. Try again later.”
This was my compromise: Take some vegetables and hummus, and throw it on some flatbread. Boom. Veggie wrap.
Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil are a classic combination, but sometimes the dish can be very bland. Here, cherry-sized mozzarella balls (ciliegine) are marinated in extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, salt and pepper, and then tossed with sweet cherry tomatoes and golden balsamic vinegar. Nothing bland about that.
Regular balsamic vinegar will work but will darken the milky white color of the mozzarella. Use golden if you can.

CREAMY AND DREAMY pasta made with nature’s finest ingredients to satisfy my pasta needs. After eating this stuff the only regret I have is not making more.
As you know from my last recipe I recently purchased Ina’s Make it Ahead cookbook and when I saw her savory noodle kugel I jumped for joy. Noodle pudding made with spinach, ricotta, and flavored with fresh dill. It couldn’t have sounded any better. So, with this holiday season in mind, I went ahead and tested it out.
I switched up the recipe just a tad with roasted garlic and caramelized onions. I can’t wait to remake this as a weekday casserole with some shredded chicken and peas. This is like a creamy pasta casserole with a crunchy topping that’ll make you sad because you didn’t discover it sooner. Think noodle kugel meets spanakopita. Since I had an ENTIRE dish of casserole of leftovers I shared some with family and friends. Since I’ve shared this with friends and family, they’ve been begging me to post the recipe. So, trust my word, stop what you’re doing, and go make yourself some kugel.

What I really love about this recipe though is that you can pretty much prepare everything in advance and then assemble in the morning. The quinoa, yogurt, and sauce can be made a few days in advance and kept in the fridge. In the morning, all you have to do is cook your eggs and assemble. If you’re looking for a super quick version, you could even use hard-boiled eggs that you maybe cooked up on a Sunday. Then its breakfast done in about five or ten minutes.
