All-Time Popular Recipes Countdown

12. PLANT-BASED VEGAN CREAM SAUCE:
Even though your off dairy when you eat a plant-based diet, that doesn’t mean you can’t eat a “cream” sauce and this article will get you up to speed with three different ways to make that happen. A basic simple cream sauce can be the start of something delicious such as this creamy Pasta Primavera or this Cheeze Veggie Divan.

11. MUSHROOM STROGANOFF: 
This review from a reader should convince you to give this a try. “My family absolutely loves this dish. I always have to double it so we can all get leftovers for lunch the next day. Perfection!!!!! This is the first WFPB meal that reminds me of the “real” thing. Thank you.”

10. STUFFED PEPPERS:
This versatile and colorful dish is perfect for lunch or dinner. You can pair it with many side dishes for a complete meal but works just fine alone. Many of the ingredients are already staples in your home. This is one you’ll want to share with your closest friends.

9. TURMERIC GINGER ICED TEA:

This smoothie is one powerhouse of nutrition that you can drink any time of the day. Filled with 3 kinds of berries and even oatmeal and seeds, it’s sure to give your health a boost. Try it today.

6. VEGAN HUEVOS RANCHEROS CASSEROLE:
Here’s my healthy take on eating a savory, dinner-inspired dish for breakfast loaded with protein from the tofu scramble and made easier with store-bought sauce.

5. BEEFLESS STEW: 
This delicious, creamy beefless stew is a healthier take on the original traditional comfort dish. So hearty and satisfying you’ll want to savor each bite. This is perfect for a dinner party or simply dinner with the family and you’ll love the time you save creating this version.

4. Lentil Shepherd’s Pie:
Comforting family-style food made with mushrooms, carrots, peas, and garlic mashed potatoes. Refrigerate or freeze easily and use leftover mashed potatoes, if you have them.

3. PRESSURE COOKER BLACK BEANS:
The cornerstone of every long-lived community (call the Blue Zones) is, you guessed it, BEANS. They provide B vitamins and lots of fiber and protein to boot. No worries about lectins, either, because they are gone once you’ve cooked the beans.

They’re perfect for topping salads, adding to soups and stews and delicious in burritos or tacos. They can also be the base of your vegan meatloaf or salad dressings. Very versatile and important on a plant-based diet! Here’s the link to pressure cooker pinto beans, and black beans.

2. BITCHIN SAUCE:
Tasty saucy goodness that’s great on your baked potato or served with raw vegetables or baked chips, this dip is way healthier than the original which has extra added oil. Made with raw almonds in your high-powered blender. 

Bitchin Sauce

1. SWEET POTATO VEGGIE LASAGNA:
Here’s the number 1 most popular recipe. It’s great served to company or prepare for your weeknight dinners because you’re sure to have a few leftovers. Even though it’s some work, it’s worth it! Save time by purchasing oven-ready lasagna noodles
