I love Indian food and this recipe from The Simple Veganista is so quick and easy. It's one of our family favorites. Once you get your food simmering gently you can leave it for a bit if you need to, so it's very hands off.
Start your rice cooking before you start your tikka masala- whatever amount your family typically eats. I like to cook 2 cups brown rice in a pressure cooker with 4 cups water for my family of 6 eaters.

Pickle Sandwich
Yep. You heard that right. We stopped eating deli meat and cheese and honestly PB&J is not a favorite around here except with my husband and the six year old. But sandwiches are the most basic of food items and really hard to live without - especially during picnic season! So we decided to sub hummus for the meat and cheese. Turns out, pickles provide most of the sandwich flavor anyway so you don't even miss them. This is totally customizable - think of anything you'd normally eat on a sandwich and throw it in there!
2 pieces sourdough bread
mustard to taste, on one piece of bread
2 Tb hummus, spread thickly on second piece of bread
lettuce
sliced tomato
pickle
sliced avocado - also helps keep you full
other sandwich fillings
I promise - it's better than you think!

Dairy-free Pesto
Most pestos are made with lots of basil and yummy feta cheese. My version is by necessity dairy-free and still has lots of yummy flavor. I've found that kale also makes a great pesto base. Measurements are loose guidelines - feel free to play around.
1/2 chopped nuts (I usually use pecans or almonds as we typically have those)
2 tsp lemon juice (add more for taste)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2-3 cups packed greens - spinach, basil, kale, lettuce, or some combination of those
Add all ingredients in food processor with a small drizzle of olive or avocado oil. Blend together, adding water to thin to your preference.
Serve with pasta, on a salad, pizza, etc.
