5. Roasted cauliflower with tahini sauce (prepared, with garlic and water), pine nuts, chopped dates, scallions, sumac (optional), and mint (optional).
6. Totally Phoned-In Dinner: sauteed beans (black, kidney, whatever) with some taco spices (cumin, chili, salt, whatever) and some frozen crushed garlic, serve with diced tomatoes and avocado, olives, scallion or diced red onion, pickled jalapeños, and tortilla chips. If you want to make it junkier add Daiya's nacho cheese sauce. For the kid I drizzle a bit of extra avocado oil.
7. I usually object to salad-as-a-meal but this one is hearty enough: Tofu and Kale Salad With Avocado, Grapefruit, and Miso-Tahini Dressing https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/03/crispy-zaatar-tofu-kale-avocado-grapefruit-salad-recipe.html?fbclid=IwAR1HGrOiaf6y5BhHfbXlwjddqGYRdUAUMoa_WzfN9c8Js6PlWCHfx14VLT8
8. Slow cooker African sweet potato peanut stew: My friends and I all pass this one around and for a while I was making it on a weekly basis. It's a huge hit with everyone, and super easy, inexpensive, and nutritious. Plus, even people who haaaaate cilantro love this, so they get to enjoy its heavy metal detoxifying properties! https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-recipes/a3976/sweet-potato-peanut-stew-612/
