Main Dish

This is a really quick and healthful pasta to throw in the instant pot. I use zucchini instead of eggplant because we aren’t huge fans of eggplant. This makes for a really full pot but that works great for my family! •Easy Vegan Instant Pot Pasta• View this recipe at nutriciously.com

This recipe is a little labor intensive but really tasty and rewarding! It doesn’t taste like you are eating meatloaf, but my family really likes this. It does have quite a bit of fat with the tofu and walnuts, so don’t use this if you are trying to keep your calories from fat really low. A good BBQ sauce is necessary. I like Primal Kitchen's Classic BBQ Sauce Organic Unsweetened. •Oat & Lentil "Meat Loaf"• View this recipe at gamechangersmovie.com

This recipe has vegetables, rice, and beans all in an easy skillet. I choose to cook 1 cup of brown rice separately and omit the water instead of step two as stated. Just stir the cooked rice into the vegetables, beans, and tomatoes at that point. Topping with a small amount of low fat or vegan cheese is an option if it helps your kids like the look of it better, but I don't think I ever put enough that they even taste it. •Zucchini, Black Bean and Rice Skillet• View this recipe at readyseteat.com
