Vegan dinners must be quick, satisfying, and good for busy yoga instructor Tess Carter. “After a long day, I want not to spend hours in the kitchen,” Tess says. “These dishes are my life savors!
One-pot Lentil Curry is among her favorite meals. In a pot, toss red lentils, coconut milk, chopped tomatoes, and spices including turmeric and cumin; let it boil until creamy. She says, “It’s comforting, high in protein, and only takes thirty minutes.”
Tess suggests her Vegetable-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes as a lighter choice. Roast sweet potatoes, then load them with black beans, sautéed spinach, and a dollop of guacamole. Tess notes, “It’s colorful, nutritious, and really satisfying.”
And her Creamy Avocado Pesto is always there when she wants pasta. To make delectable sauce, blend ripe avocados, fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil. Toss it cherry tomato and whole-grain spaghetti. She winkingly says, “It’s indulgent but totally guilt-free.”
“These dishes show how simple and enjoyable vegan eating can be,” Tess comments. “You have no compromise to make on nutrition or taste.”
