Green chiles shine in this pantry-staple friendly enchilada sauce recipe.

Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart

Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Tart

Yield: 8 side or 24 appetizer sided pieces

Frozen puff pastry makes this dish come together quickly – perfect as a Thanksgiving side or a vegetarian entrée. Cutting the squash into thin ribbons allows them to roast while the tart bakes, cutting out an extra step. Serve this in small squares for an elegant appetizer or with a simple green salad for an easy fall lunch.

Marinated Tomatoes on Cheese Crostini

Marinated Tomatoes on Cheese Crostini

This simple appetizer takes the flavors of Caprese salad and adds the always delicious element of melted cheese. To adapt the Marinated Tomatoes, swap the basil for other herbs and the vinegar for other acids (lemon/lime juice or other vinegars) to change the flavor profile and make it work for any cuisine. Tomatoes keep well in the fridge for a few days.

Shaved Zucchini Salad with Feta

Shaved Zucchini Salad with Feta

This summer salad is a great use for the zucchini that many gardeners are overrun by each summer. To change the flavor profile, swap out the vinegar for another acid and the herbs for any other leafy herb. This salad is best eaten right away but the dressing can be prepped the day in advance. Aleppo pepper is a Syrian dried and ground red pepper that adds a small amount of heat and a nice fruitiness to the salad. Freshly ground black pepper would be a nice alternative.

Roasted Eggplant Tahini Dip (Baba Ganoush)

Make this on Sunday and use throughout the week as a dip, sandwich spread or salad topper. I promise it won’t last long.

Charred Cauliflower Tacos

Charred Cauliflower Tacos

These easy vegan tacos get a boost of flavor from ground spices and a char in the oven. Be sure to cut the cauliflower so that each floret has at least one flat side – this will ensure better browning. Don’t forget to preheat the pans in the oven.

Quick Pickled Red Onions

Quick Pickled Red Onions

I love having pickled red onions on hand. They elevate any sandwich, eggs or cheese and crackers snack to something that feels elegant. I like to make a batch at the beginning of the week and throw them on anything I can think of.

Red Lentil Daal

Red Lentil Daal

Slightly spicy and richly comforting, this Indian lentil stew comes together in less than 30 minutes. For an added boost of veggies, stir in a couple handfuls of baby spinach when adding the cilantro and stir until wilted.
