Maple Carrot Soup

This soup calls for a swirl: dollop sour cream on top and then (carefully) drag a toothpick through it to create a design. Get the recipe: Maple Carrot Soup

Cauliflower Tacos

When kids help themselves, they help everyone. They’ll be eager to load up their own taco, and if you’re lucky, they may even want to help prep. Get the recipe: Cauliflower Tacos

Hoisin Beef Stir-Fry

Appease everyone at the table by keeping everything separate. Divide marinade between beef and veggies and stir fry each on its own. Swap chicken for beef and mix in sugar snap peas, broccoli or peppers, too. Get the recipe: Hoisin Beef Stir-Fry
