     The first chapter\nis dedicated to soups and stews, including Sweet Potato & Black Bean, Ramen\nNoodle, and some vegan renditions of American favorites, including Broccoli\nCheddar and Two-Potato. I opted for trying the Quick Lentil & Kidney Bean\nCurry Soup. I am glad I did \u2013 my nonvegan family loved this one. It was fast,\nfilling, and provided me nights of delicious leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Chapter two\ninvolves a variety of skillets and stir-fries. In the mood for something light?\nTry the Stir-Fried Collard Greens with Cabbage & Carrots or the Quinoa\n& Cauliflower Pilaf. Heartier options include the Barbecue-Flavored Tofu\n& Chickpea Bowl. Having made this myself, I can confidently say that this sweet\nand savory dish is absolutely one to cook again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     The next chapter\nis all about cozy casseroles and baked dishes \u2013 perfect for colder seasons \u2013\nincluding Vegetable & Chickpea Potpie, Roasted Root Vegetables with\nBrussels Sprouts, and Not-Just-for-Holidays Green Bean Casserole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Breakfast ideas\ninclude a healthier Whole Grain Bowl, Chickpea Omelets, and Southwestern Tofu\nScramble \u2013 or consider treating yourself with the French Toast Casserole.
