My noodle-loving kids would devour this vegetarian Lemon Pasta with Arugula at Killing Thyme (or maybe, without arugula, ha!) all by itself, but you could also serve with some rotisserie chicken or grilled fish on the side if you want some added protein.
The flavors on this Bruschetta Chicken at The Better Blondie look delicious, and the prep couldn’t be easier for a dish that looks this fancy. Of course, you might want to save one or two pieces of chicken without toppings for those picky eaters in your house.
Mmm, this cold weather has us thinking chili, and (honestly) it’s one of the best ways to disguise a meatless meal. If you don’t tell your family this Vegan Tempeh Chili at Live Eat Learn is made with tempeh instead of beef, I doubt they’ll figure it out.
