1. Fennel Gratin

This Fennel Gratin by Brianna Claxton is cooked in much the same way as potatoes au gratin; you’re essentially making the core of the same dish—but with fennel! Fennel is a tender root vegetable with a strong black licorice flavor when eaten raw, but when it’s cooked, it becomes a sweet and savory vegetable that works with almost anything. It’s an amazing palate cleanser, and the flavor of the fennel makes the dish feel less heavy than it would otherwise.

Colder, rainier days call for warm, comforting recipes. Meals with legumes, especially beans, are a great example of this. The texture, rich flavor, and satiety they give us are responsible for this feeling. Adding legumes with spices, even better, since this “warming” effect increases even more. If you’re looking for a cozy meal, this Black-Eyed Pea Curry by Sara Oliveira is perfect!

This Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread by Christina Bedetta is a new whole-grain, gluten-free and vegan variation of some of my older muffin and quick bread recipes. It employs a deliciously sweet flavor from the maple syrup, and just enough richness from the added chocolate. For the quick bread, squeeze some of the excess moisture out of the shredded zucchini with paper towels!

While quick bread typically contains refined grains and multiple animal products, a few tweaks and you’ve got a plant-based treat. One that is arguably more delicious! This Spiced Zucchini Bread by Natalie Martin MS, RD and Lexie Staten MS, RD is a perfect example that you can continue to bake favorite dishes while eating wholly plants. A sweet and moist bread, its delicious on its own but can also be topped with nut butter or chia jam for added flavor. The add-ins offer extra nutrients, texture and flavor.
