What’s on the gourmet menu this week

First up, the Creamy Cannellini & Green Bean Casserole with Walnut Parm is full of tender green beans, cauliflower, white beans, and chard. These veggies are nestled into a savory cream sauce and baked with Walnut Parm on top. Yummy!

Then we turn up the volume with Stuffed Acorn Squash with Herbed Grain Medley and Creamy Lemon Sauce. A classy everyday or holiday meal, you’ll roast acorn squash and stuff it with a seasoned mixed grain medley and drizzle with a light lemony sauce. It’s an easy yet stunning dish.

Missing lasagna? Not anymore. Lasagna noodles are layered with cheesy sauce, Italian seasonings, tomato sauce, and zucchini for a sensational family meal in our Cheesy Zucchini Lasagna. Served with Walnut Parm on top and tangy olives and multigrain bread on the side, the kids will be asking for it every week.

Roasted carrots give sweetness and body to our Roasted Carrot Bisque. This creamy, cozy vegetable soup is served alongside a crisp, plant-loaded salad for a simply delicious meal.

Make the holidays (or any day) happier with the Holiday Happiness Bowl. Starring roasted beets, tart apples, and creamy lemon sauce, it’ll make any day feel like a holiday.

Finally, make magic with a few pantry ingredients and bake up a batch of Maple Tahini Cutout Cookies. They’re perfect for dipping, drizzling, or frosting.
