Spicy Tofu Nuggets and Tahini Ranch
“It’s always hard to pick favorites, but if there is one recipe in this book that has effortlessly worked its way into our weekly rotation, it’s these fiery tofu nuggets. Inspired by Buffalo everything, the tofu is torn instead of cut, creating lots of nooks and crannies for the garlicky hot sauce to cling to.” – Desiree Nielsen

Cumin Lime Black Bean Burgers
“I’ve got all sorts of opinions, particularly when it comes to veggie burgers. If I’m making a burger from scratch, it’s going to be the soft and squishy kind. No dry veggie burgers for this gal! I am also firmly committed to burgers that are weeknight doable. No additional cooking, just blend, pat, and fry.” – Desiree Nielsen

Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Green Olive Dressing
“As far as vegetables go, there are probably none as versatile as cauliflower, and I love the drama of carving into a whole cauliflower at the table. Dredged in an earthy, smoky paprika-spiked rub and topped with a bright and acidic dressing, this is a beautiful dish for a weekend meal with friends.” – Desiree Nielsen
