A hearty fall or winter stew that’s earthy, healthy, and delicious.

  • 4 cloves garlic, diced
  • 2 radishes, (about 1/4 C) diced or chopped
  • 3 C spinach, roughly chopped
  • 4 collard green leaves (about 1 C), roughly chopped
  • 2 T tomato paste
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • 2 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • pinch ginger
  • pinch cayenne (or more if you want it spicier)
  • 1 T sweet paprika
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1/2 T chili powder
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1 C lentils, uncooked
  • 4 C vegetable stock (plus 1/2 to 1 C water, if necessary)
  • parmesan cheese, for topping
Instructions
  1. Heat soup pot. Add oil. Add veggies and 1 t salt. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until veggies are getting tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, stir, and cook 2 minutes more.
  2. Add tomato paste and 1 T balsamic vinegar, stir around and cook 2 minutes.
  3. Add remaining seasonings, including another t of salt (if desired) and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until lentils are soft, about 30-40 minutes. Add another 1/2 to 1 C water if it’s getting too thick. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn.
  4. Remove from heat. Add in spinach, collard greens, and 1 T balsamic vinegar. Stir until wilted down. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
  5. Serve topped with parmesan cheese.
Notes
It would be fun to serve this stew in a hollowed out pumpkin or squash!

My go-to green salad. Top it with your favorites and it’s perfect alongside almost any dish!
Ingredients
  • 1 head lettuce (approx.)
  • 15 almonds, chopped
  • 15 cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 6 roasted figs, sliced
  • Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette
Instructions
  1. Toss sliced figs with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, or until figs are caramelized and slightly crispy on one side.
  2. Wash and tear lettuce. Top with figs, almonds, tomatoes, and dressing.
Notes

Also yummy in a salad (maybe not all at the same time though): Grated carrot, grated radish, croutons, squash, apples, raisins, pears, peaches, plums, kale, spinach, cucumber, basil, corn, bell pepper, cheese… (obviously to keep it GF the croutons need to be GF, and to keep it vegan, use a vegan cheese or omit it). 🙂

  4. Brush with coconut oil and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  5. With a floured knife, cut the circle into 8 wedges. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake for 17-21 minutes or until golden brown.

  • 1/4 C Greek yogurt
  • 10 cherry tomatoes (or 5 cherry and 1 small regular tomato), chopped
  • 3/4 C cheese, grated
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Brush cut side of potatoes with 1 t olive oil, sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes (or until a fork can be easily inserted into potato).
  2. In last 10 minutes of potatoes’ baking time, heat a skillet; add 1 T olive oil. Once it’s hot, add veggies (all but tomatoes) and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove potatoes from oven. Cut around edge, leaving a 1/4″ wall, and scrape out the middle into a bowl (be careful not to pierce the skin). Add veggie mixture, seasonings, yogurt, tomatoes, 1/2 C cheese, 2 T oil. Mash together. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Fill skins with potato mixture. Top with remaining cheese and return to oven and bake 10 minutes (or until cheese is melted).
Notes
Serves 2 if it’s more of a main or large side course. Can serve 4 if it’s a side and each person gets a half.[br] Prep and veggie cooking can be done while the potatoes roast.
