Thai Veggie Curry

Thai red curry paste is full of flavour but less spicy than its green counterpart. The result is a rich, creamy dinner that spells comfort in every bite. 

Cold Chicken Noodle Salad

If you're making this fresh and flavourful salad ahead of time, store it in a large shallow airtight container for easy tossing. Better yet, just close the lid and give it a good shake.

Vegetarian Cabbage Rolls

Double for a potluck or to have left-overs for freezing: use a 24-cup (6 L) roasting pan and bake, covered for 1-1/2 hours and uncovered for 30 minutes.

Vegetarian Tofu Chili

This is a great way to introduce tofu to skeptical family members. Extra-firm tofu cubes don't fall apart when you fry them. You can top each serving with grated Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green onions and sour cream and serve with a green salad and corn bread.

Asian-Style Chicken Meatballs in Ginger Soy Broth

We've added fresh ginger and soy sauce to these lean meatballs and simmered them in a spicy aromatic broth for a meal you'll definitely want to make again.

Tomato and Vegetable Soup With Halloumi

Warm spices add exotic flair to this veggie-packed soup. You'll find halloumi, a firm cheese that holds its shape when cooked, in the cheese aisle of many supermarkets or in Middle Eastern grocery stores. Serve it atop the soup as a decadent garnish.

Roasted Winter Vegetables with Maple Candied Nuts

Candied nuts add crunch and even more sweetness to this side of roasted veggies. Make an extra batch to serve for snacking before dinner—your guests will love them! Trim the brussels sprouts to a uniform size, halving any larger pieces so that they cook evenly.

Braised Lamb Shanks with Olives

Loaded Broccoli and Cheddar Potatoes with Tossed Salad

Twice-baked potatoes are transformed into a nourishing main with the addition of colourful veggies and gooey Cheddar. It's easier to remove the flesh while the potatoes are warm, so use a small spoon (such as a teaspoon) to scoop them as soon as they're cool enough to handle. Cost: $2.85/serving

Mushroom Bourguignon

This hearty vegetarian meal tastes delicious served with a side of mashed potatoes.
