Dairy-free spinach dip is fantastic, but how do you make it even better? You stuff it in a crescent roll, season it with garlic and onion powder, and roll it in crunchy bread crumbs. These Spinach Dip Rolls by Melanie Sorrentino are easy to make and even easier to eat, so you might want to double up on the batch if you’re making it for a party. If you really love spinach dip, you can even dip your spinach dip rolls in any extra filling. Now that’s what we’re talking about.

You’ll want to devour this dreamy bread pudding morning, noon and night. And because it’s loaded with healthy ingredients, you won’t feel guilty if you dig in upon waking (after you’ve had your coffee, of course!)

Don’t be fooled by the dull, potato-y colors; I guarantee you that these Simple Mashed Potato Waffles by Amrita Levan are sure to brighten up your potato craving taste buds. They’re moist and crispy on the outside, warm and deliciously creamy on the inside. These potato waffles also go great with salsa, vegan cream cheese, and caramelized onions (gotta love ‘em onions!).

While roasted Brussels sprouts are a delicacy of their own, the green veggies are stir-fried in this Brussels Sprouts Stir Fry recipe by Joyce Gan, making the process much quicker and easier. Nothing too fancy is required to stir-fry them, just a bit of salt and pepper and a zing of lemon if you desire. Top with some coconut flakes and dried cranberries for a lovely flavor contrast.
