That looks really delicious! I love polenta but i don’t make It often enough. I’m going to try this soon.

My dinner general consist of a steamed vegetable and a legume. I am in desperate need of recipes – clearly

My go to weeknight dinner would consist of greens and lentils. Spinach or kale and I love love love chickpeas????

Yuuum!!! I want this cookbook so bad! My go-to weeknight dinner is some sort of salad bowl filled with greens, a grain, roasted veggies, nuts/seeds/or beans and a yummy dressing! But this polenta is lookin’ mighty delicious…

Aside from salads, I tend to cook veggies in my cast iron, add a protein, and whatever spices/sauces that I am in the mood for. It really depends on what I have on hand.

This looks delicious! My go to weeknight meal is any one of one pot vegan curry!! Typically with red lentils, coconut milk and whatever veggies are in my fridge!

Some kind of curry dish with veggies and a grain!

This looks ama-za-zing!! My go to meal is always rice and dahl beans (rice is cooked with ginger, turmeric and black pepper) with a veggie mixture of onions, garlic, carrots, broccoli, and beets cooked in sesame oil! Then I sometimes indulge in cinnamon!

This looks incredible. Stir-fry is an easy go-to for us. And breakfast (oatmeal!) for dinner is always a winner.

I’m a vegan as of two months ago and have been on a weight loss journey. I’ve made it a goal to it a habit to make one new healthy recipe every week and my go to has been a form of teriyaki tofu stir fry with rice noodles (made it tonight, in fact)! Can’t wait to try this coconut Polenta recipe.

Spiced lentil soup. I add turmeric and a little cayenne. I also like to throw some spinach in it too to be fancy!

I have zero consistent during the week as of now. Something I haven’t made lately and prepared for this week is a simple Buddha bowl.

P.S. super excited about your cookbook as I’m trying to incorporate a lot more plant-based meals into my diet this upcoming year

My go-to weeknight dinner is baked salmon with lemon.

Vegetarian chili with vegan crumbles, black beans and kidney beans, diced tomatoes, sautéed onions and green pepper, lots of slices, I like it hot!!! Would be amazing to win! Been vegetarian for quite a while now but been impossible to find interesting recipes. No one I know is vegetarian to swap ideas with and the local restaurants don’t cater to vegetarians. Been struggling with different options of what to eat. Would LOVE to be able to expand my palette , and maybe even recruit my husband and children ????

This looks so good! I don’t have a go to weeknight dish. I am always trying new things. I like to keep things changed up.

At this time of year, I come home from work, it’s cold out, i’m exhausted, and I just want to relax. I take care of walking and feeding all of my dogs first and then I don’t really feel like making much or cleaning a lot of dishes so, I cook squash, mash it up, add a bit of garlic and that’s what I will eat…lots of it! I find it just such a soothing food for this time of year. I don’t really like to eat heavier foods at night either so, this is perfect!

My go to dinner is a Buddha bowl type of thing- rice, roasted vegetables, kale with a maple tahini dressing!! Easy to prep on a Sunday night and enjoy for a few nights! Super satisfying and Allows time for other things such as working out or relaxing!

For me it’s rice and beans. For my family, it’s tacos. Baby steps.

Looks amaaaaazing! For some reason, I’m always a bit scared to use polenta – maybe it’s just because I haven’t found a great recipe yet! Looking forward to giving this one a try 🙂

My polenta came out soupie 🙁 where did I go wrong?! It tasted good but it was more of a soup.
