Cook this in one pot and you will see just how quick and easy this recipe is! It’s definitely one of my go-to side dishes.

Okay maybe not the last one but basically, I’ll eat churros with anything. Like many others before me, I believe that there’s a separate stomach for dessert. And this second stomach rule doesn’t just extend to hot desserts – it could be palak paneer, naan and kulfi. Churros are one of my favourites; the delicious coating, crispy outside, soft, semi-hollow inside and the gooey dip for controlled dunking. I love it all, and so much so that I want it for dessert and as a starter....
Spring is the time for new beginnings and I’m delighted to share our new monthly recipe club for Rainbow Plant Life readers! I had so much fun seeing so many RPL readers participate in our 31 Days of Vegan Challenge earlier this year that I wanted to turn this into a monthly initiative. What is the RPL Recipe Club? Essentially, this is like the 31 Days of Vegan challenge, just on a (much) smaller scale....
Juicy Turkey Burgers with Zucchini These are the BEST juicy turkey burgers! They come out so juicy, and the flavor is delicious.

Serve them with some air fryer sweet potato fries to make it a meal. You can also try these Greek Feta Turkey Burgers....
I am an absolute sucker for a French pastry. I used to be too intimidated to make them at home, until one day I finally took the plunge. And guess what? It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, AND it was super fun! I absolutely loved the whole process, and I think you will too. If you aren’t convinced yet, then start with an easier recipe like this Apple Danish or these Strawberry Cream Cheese Danishes....
Late Summer Vegetable Enchilada Pie More Mexican inspired enchilada recipes I love are Chicken Enchilada Roll Ups, Enchiladas Verdes, (Green Enchiladas), and Turkey Enchilada Stuffed Poblano Peppers. Because of my love for enchiladas, this recipe caught my attention while paging through the Modern Potluck; Beautiful Food To Share cookbook. A beautiful cookbook with so many recipes I can’t wait to try. With the end of summer here, this is the perfect meatless dish to use up all that zucchini and corn....
Carrots are roasted, then coated in a maple-butter glaze and briefly returned to the oven until glistening and caramelized with sticky bits! With just a handful of ingredients, these roasted carrots are simple to make but nothing short of addictive. Plus, they pair well with just about everything, making them an incredibly versatile side dish staple. Why this recipe works Sticky, caramelized goodness.

Lots of stress means lots of chocolate. And since I know I’ll be eating lots of chocolate, I figured I might as well make my chocolate obsession a healthier indulgence. Enter these No-Bake Nutella Fudge Bars! They are basically everyone’s favorite chocolate spread turned into a cookie fudge bar and made healthier (but they don’t taste healthy)! They’re made with just 8 main ingredients and require no baking, so they’re incredibly simple to make....

One of our favorite salmon recipes to make is this Pan Seared Brown Butter Lime Sauce Salmon. I love a pan seared crispy edge salmon that is perfectly tender and flaky inside....
I have an ambivalent relationship with burfi. This milk-based Indian sweet pushes my ‘crave’ button at the strangest times… for which I resent it completely. Then when I take a bite of this dense ‘any-flavour-tastes-good’ fudge, I am a chubby six year old again. A bit like the Indian, female version of Augustus Gloop. I love to visit Indian sweet shops, with their vast arrays of burfi in every colour and flavour you can imagine....

Fajita Style Quesadillas are a no-brain-er. Combining Mexican flavors and interchanging ingredients is so easy and always seems to turn out divine. Peppers and onions are having their moment as it’s their peak producing time of the year and I can’t think of a better way to use them up. Fajita Style Quesadilla Ingredients: With few ingredients these will whip up in no time. Red Pepper: These are slightly sweeter than green peppers and add vibrant color....
Quick Mexican Brown Rice This Mexican inspired side dish is perfect for those nights. It’s super quick and much healthier than using a boxed pre-seasoned rice (also MUCH lower in sodium and made with real fresh veggies as opposed to dehydrated ones). You can use frozen brown rice from Trader Joe’s or make your own frozen brown rice to keep on hand for busy nights! Rice is my favorite carb, I love it more than potatoes or even pasta!...
Ranch Popcorn We are huge popcorn eaters in my house! Did you know you can pop popcorn on the stove with no oil? No fancy machines or equipment needed! And better news, popcorn is a whole grain loaded with fiber, making it the perfect light snack when watching a movie or craving something savory. While many flavored popcorn brands are loaded with butter or oil or worse—“natural flavorings”—you can make homemade popcorn that’s healthier (and cheaper!...
