Mushroom Paella
There are few dishes as flavor-packed, comforting, and vibrant as paella. This vegan mushroom paella packs a rich punch of flavor thanks to a sofrito base, hearty mushrooms, and artichoke hearts. It's cooked to perfection with lots of tender rice at the center of the skillet and that delectable golden-brown paella crust at the edges.

VEGAN SWEET POTATO CREAM PASTA
Comfort, ease, and nourishing goodness all wrapped up in one creamy, luxurious, 7-ingredient pasta. Sweet potatoes are boiled until fork tender and then blended until smooth with almond milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. The sauce is simmered for just 3 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Then, it's tossed with heaps of warm pasta (gluten-free, if you please), yielding a dish that's just as satisfying as it is nourishing. The flavor of the sauce is intended to be soft and delicate (think vegan bechamel—aka "basic cream sauce"—with a subtle hint of sweet potato). I love it as is with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan, but perhaps you'll prefer a more amped-up flavor. In that case, feel free to add fresh or dried herbs or up the seasoning.

Herbed Cauliflower-Almond Patties | Vegan, Grain-Free, GF
These protein-packed, flavor-forward patties are made with a base of finely grated cauliflower and almond meal. Flax eggs and tahini moisten and bind everything together while herbs (cilantro, parsley), spices (coriander, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper), and other goodies (red onion, garlic, fresh lemon juice) create layers upon layers of flavor. I recommend serving the patties with a spritz of lemon juice, a drizzle of tahini or dollop of hummus, and a side of juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumbers. They're also delicious over a bed of peppery baby arugula that's been lightly dressed with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. For a comforting, sandwich-y twist, be sure to see this [https://www.blissfulbasil.com/herbed-cauliflower-patty-wraps-green-tzatziki/] recipe.
