Easy Cornbread Cowboy Casserole
A traditional cornbread cowboy casserole is made with a thick meat and pinto beans filling layered with shredded cheese and topped with cornbread. This recipe uses a plant-based meat substitute and I've mixed creamed corn and sour cream into the cornbread batter for more flavor.

Sweet Potato Latkes
These sweet potato latkes are made of sweet potatoes, jalapeño peppers, scallions, and Ancho chile powder. Topped with sour cream and a dusting of chives, they're the perfect appetizer, side, or main dish.

Potato Leek Soup
This potato leek soup is a classic recipes with the additional of roasted hatch chiles. If they're not available in your market, substitute a 4-ounce can of green chiles. These are found with Mexican foods in my store.

Lentil Shepherd's Pie
This vegetarian lentil shepherd's pie replaces the traditional meat with legumes and keeps all the umami flavor of a meaty dish with caramelized onions and mushrooms. The topping is a combination of cauliflower and potatoes mashed with butter, sour cream, and heavy cream.

Quiche Florentine
This easy Quiche Florentine is a classic brunch dish that requires very little effort unless you make a homemade crust. You only need eggs, spinach, shallots, Gruyere cheese, and half-and-half to make the filling.
It's all baked in a buttery flakey pie crust which you can either make from scratch or purchase one at your market.
