It makes an excellent addition to corned beef hash, corned beef with cabbage, or as a meaty filling for a corned beef sandwich on rye!

Colcannon is a beloved comfort food dish in Ireland, so much so that a nursery rhyme is dedicated to the delicious decadence of these creamy mashed potatoes. In comparison, traditional colcannon is made with plenty of butter, cream, hearty winter greens like cabbage or kale, and green onions or leeks. Our creamy plant-based version is just as creamy, wholesome, and delicious with a few additional nourishing ingredients mixed in!

With so many delicious ways to enjoy this plant-powered crumble, it may become a weeknight meal staple in no time.

Turmeric Tahini Slaw features hearty winter veggies like green and purple cabbage, though you can easily substitute other garden veggies in this slaw, like radish, beets, or cauliflower for the cabbage and carrots. If certain vegetables don’t quite agree with your palate, shaving them can not only change the texture, but perhaps even the flavor, offering an entirely new experience that may turn loathing into loving that veggie. What’s more, this slaw gets better with each day of marinating!

Buttery Instant Pot Rosemary and Garlic Chickpeas come out perfectly tender everytime. With savory garlic and herb-y rosemary added to the mix, you’ve got a delectable pot of nourishing chickpeas that are simply irresistible!

These crispy bites are slightly tangy, a little spicy, and have just the right touch of sweetness. With so much flavor and nutrition packed into one little bite, they make the ideal appetizer or a tasty addition to a wrap, stir-fry, grain bowl, or salad!

Finding plant-based options that meet texture and flavor profiles similar to your traditional favorites, while providing much more nutritional value, is key when it comes to sticking with long-term healthy habits. Enter Tempeh Sausage! If traditional sausage was something you enjoyed, the flavors and texture of this fiber-, protein-, and iron-rich tempeh may do the trick! Use it in pasta sauce, tacos, or grain bowls (just to name a few!).

Prepare your taste buds for a wonderfully delicious, healthy, and light meal that is made in only one pot! Quinoa, corn, black beans, tomatoes, jalapeños, and lime create a fiesta of colors, nutrition, and flavors that are guaranteed to make you do a happy dance. Plus, this simple dish has plenty of plant-based protein, fiber, and wholesome veggies for a meal that the whole family will enjoy!

Pickled Turnips are a delicious way to highlight the earthy and sweet flavor, as well as the crisp texture, of a turnip. These tangy roots make for a wonderful pickled veggie option and are an excellent addition to any savory plant-based dish that needs a bit of tang and crunch.

Turnips transform into a delectable side when they're coated in a sweet and tangy mustard dressing and then oven-roasted until tender. As they’re roasting, the turnips develop a sweet caramelized exterior, a pleasant tender interior, and a deep earthy flavor that is simply divine with the Sweet Mustard Dressing. After removing these turnips from the oven, drizzle them with extra mustard dressing and sprinkle with fresh parsley to add a bit of brightness before serving. This may be a side dish, but after just one bite, these turnips will be the star of the show!
