This soup is surprisingly good for how little effort is needed to make it. Also I served it with a cutting board full of topping options which makes the soup fun too.

Recipe: Coconut Lentils
These creamy coconut lentils are a total treat. They have a really nice color to them and you can easily change up what vegetables you use depending what you have on hand or what is in season to make a filling meal.

Recipe: Goat Cheese, Pear, and Black Pepper Scones
I love the idea of making traditionally sweet foods into savory ones. When I saw this recipe I knew I would be making it. Despite sounding very fancy, goat cheese and pears are not exactly the most high ticket items so this is a pretty cheap recipe if you need to impress someone. On top of all of that, this is also a one bowl recipe so it’s pretty easy on the clean up as well.

Recipe: Salt Cured Pickles
You can’t come up with an easier recipe. These pickles take as long as it takes to cut up a cucumber to make and then time does the rest of the work. Despite being only a few ingredients, the pickle packs a punch. While I think I like vinegar cured pickles more, these do in a pinch.

Recipe: Stir Fry Noodles
You could easily add whatever you want to this but to make it as straight forward as possible all I did was add a bag of frozen “stir fry” vegetables, making this meal take all of 10 minutes to come together without bringing out any chopping board. It does take 2 pans (one to boil and one to fry in) but you could probably do it in one large sauce pot if you were really lazy.

Recipe: Pancakes
A super basic pancake recipe where the batter take just a minute or two to come together with things you probably have hanging around the house on any morning that you find yourself in need of a little bread that is kind of also cake-like.

Recipe: Fried Cauliflower
This is one of those recipes that will completely blow you away. I actually don’t like the sauce that came with the original recipe and prefer to just use a bottled teriyaki or even just a sprinkling of soy sauce so I’m not including it here but basically this a recipe for the most delicious fried cauliflower that you can serve over rice with some sesame seeds – if you don’t end up eating it all before that.

Recipe: Potato Pancakes (Latkes)
Potato pancakes are one of the most basic food. The odds are very good you have a potato, onion, and eggs just hanging around your house so this is a great meal or snack for a night when you don’t want to make anything too fancy. The texture of these will change depending on which way you grate the potatoes. I just simply used a mandolin to julienne them but feel free to use a box grater or even get your lazy on and drop them in a food processor!

Recipe: Cucumber Tomato Salad
Just a quick and delicious salad that brightens up any meal and come together in 5 minutes. I love myself some green salad but sometimes you just need something a bit different.

Recipe: Vegetable Pad Thai
Who doesn’t love Pad Thai? It’s the perfect Thai style blend of sweet, sour, salty, savory, and spicy flavors. I always assumed it was difficult to make but actually it only takes a couple of minutes! The hardest part is going to the store and getting rice noodles which is something I don’t usually keep on hand. You can make this easily vegetarian or vegan with a couple quick swaps but I like fish sauce too much myself!
