Swap out chicken with jackfruit for a “pulled” meat type of chili that isn’t meat at all and is better for you and the planet. When jackfruit is harvested early, before it has a chance to ripen and become soft and sweet, it has a neutral flavor and satisfyingly chewy texture, making it a perfect substitute for meat. Get ready to add this to your plant-based recipe library because it’s going to go over really well with the whole family. And, if it’s just for you, hooray for leftovers! It’s even better the next day.

One ritual we often recommend at Food Revolution Network is keeping cooked whole grains on hand so they’re ready to use throughout the week. Having organic farro ready to go makes this dish easy to prepare. The result is a delicious, nutritious and flavorful dish that’s great for family dinner night, a festive gathering, or a dinner party for one so you have yummy leftovers all week long.

If you enjoy a savory breakfast, this one's for you! It’s also for you if you like recipes that are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, because this bowl is delicious any time of day. It calls for millet, but feel free to experiment with any organic whole grain you like. It’s also packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients thanks to the variety of colorful vegetables. Honestly, it’s almost too pretty to eat! Pro-tip: Make it the night before so the dressing has time to marinate the grains and veggies, creating even more delicious flavors (it’s great hot or cold!).

This simple to prepare (but looks like it took hours) meal includes all of the essential ingredients — whole grains, beans, veggies, and spices. Add some avocado and you also have fruit! That’s what we call a complete (and delicious) meal that is sure to support your health and satisfy your tastebuds.

This salad sports Brussels sprouts, pecans, red onion, and pear, making it full of flavor, texture, and nutrition. Roasting Brussels sprouts brings out a little sweetness and changes their texture from tough to tender. When you pair them with sweet potato, wild rice, and a creamy orange dressing you get a decidedly delicious and satisfying salad!

If a warm, comforting cereal is your breakfast jam and you haven’t yet tried teff then we highly recommend giving this Apple Cinnamon Teff Porridge a go. Teff is naturally sweet and nutty on its own, therefore you don’t need much in the way of added sweetness to make this porridge delicious. Add apples, cinnamon, dates, and walnuts for more naturally sweet and nutty flavors and, if you’d like it a bit more sweet, just a touch of maple will do.

Misir Wot (also spelled wat) is a traditional Ethiopian stew filled with lentils, vegetables, and layers of fragrant spices. Its aromatic spice blend, berbere, often includes more than ten spices such as coriander, cumin, fenugreek, chili powder, and paprika. Enjoy this flavorful stew on a bed of organic brown rice or with traditional Ethiopian bread, injera.

The pasta and sauce make this dish creamy and satisfying, while the arugula, basil, and lemon make it light and bright. For this reason, it can be enjoyed as a warm and comforting winter meal or light dish during the summer — use your summer garden veggies if you have them!

Mince traditionally includes meat, but can be easily turned into plant-based goodness by combining plenty of minced or diced vegetables with legumes and herbs. Make this dish your own by mincing or dicing any veggies you need to use up, and then adding them to the lentil, pea, and corn mixture. Make this for the week and use it as a side dish, on top of rice, in grain bowls, or as tacos in these lettuce wraps.

Mineral-rich, sea veggie arame is sold in its dry form and needs to be rehydrated before using. With its mild flavor, it is a well-suited addition to a variety of taste profiles in stir-fries, salads, and bowls. Here, kale, edamame, peppers, and onions add pops of color, flavor, and nutrition. To highlight its natural beautiful black color, make this dish with red or brown rice (black works too, but you won’t see the pretty arame!).
