    Another reader-favorite, this red lentil dal is vegetarian comfort food at it's best. It's creamy, delicious, and packed with belly-warming spices.

    5

    Slow Cooker Vegan Chili

    Short on time? Try a slow cooker meal. This slow cooker chili is one of my personal favorites. Loaded with beans, tomatoes, and a little bit of spice - it's a hit with my family every time.

    6

    Easy Pumpkin Chili

    Ginger Garlic Soup

    This simple ginger-garlic soup is a favorite when I'm feeling under the weather. It's loaded with ginger and garlic, for a healthy burst of flavor. Just swap the egg noodles for a vegan-friendly pasta for a completely plant-based version.

    10

    Vegan French Onion Soup

    French onion soup has always been a favorite of mine. This vegan version is actually a sneak peek recipe from my cookbook! It's an easy one-pot meal, and couldn't be more delicious.

    11

    Vegan Pasta Bake

    This Vegan Pasta Bake is an easy and hearty dish that’s great for any night of the week, year round. Rotini pasta is slathered with a savory tomato sauce and dairy-free cheese, then baked to perfection.

    12

    30-Minute Vegan Pho

    Pho is my absolute favorite take-out food. But when I'm in the mood for something a little healthier, I make my own! This flexible comfort food is easy to adjust to your own taste with whatever veggies you have on hand.

    13

    Easy Tomato Risotto

    Warm, creamy risotto is the ultimate vegetarian comfort food. This tomato risotto is super simple to make with just a handful of ingredients.

    14

    Easy Veggie Lasagna

    Growing up in an Italian family, we always made lasagna for special occasions, which is probably why it's still one of my favorite vegetarian comfort foods. This veggie version is entirely vegan, but every bit as tasty as the original.

    15

    Easy Vegan Enchiladas

    These tasty enchiladas are the ultimate Mexican comfort food. Packed with creamy re-fried beans, tangy enchilada sauce, and fresh veggies - they're sure to hit the spot.

    16

    Veggie Enchiladas with Black Beans, Corn, and Goat Cheese

    Take those enchiladas up a notch with these black bean and goat cheese enchiladas. They're simple enough for a weeknight meal, yet look (and taste) totally fancy.

    17

    Vegan Mac and Cheese

    Mac and cheese is probably the most popular comfort food in the country. This vegan version is a long-time reader favorite, and loaded with hidden veggies that the kids won't even know are there.

    18

    Mushroom and Cauliflower Shepherds Pie

    These adorable little shepherd's pies are creamy and comforting, and totally gorgeous. You'd never guess that they're 100% vegan too. And since they use mashed cauliflower in place of the traditional potatoes, they're low carb too.

    19

    Veggie Pot Pies

    I created these adorable little pot pies last Thanksgiving, and they're now one of my favorite vegetarian comfort foods. Fresh veggies are cooked in a creamy broth and wrapped in perfectly toasted pastry dough.

    20

    Baked Goat Cheese Dip with Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

    This creamy goat cheese dip is topped with tangy roasted tomatoes - it's total indulgence and so easy to pull together.

    21

    Vegetarian Chili Cheese Dip

    What says comfort food better than a hot, cheesy dip? This vegetarian-friendly cheese dip has a little bit of spice, and a whole lot of deliciousness.

    22

    The Ultimate Loaded Vegan Nachos

    Growing up, my favorite family meal was always nacho night. We would get a big bag of tortilla chips and load it up with cheese and whatever toppings we had in the pantry. I still love it - and especially love this vegan friendly version.

    23

    One-Pot Mushrooms & Dumplings

    These vegan-friendly dumplings are the ultimate comfort food, and it's quick and easy to throw together in a single pot. This recipe is straight from my new cookbook, Weeknight One Pot Vegan Cooking.

    24

    Easy Vegan Cheesecake

    I don't know about you, but cheesecake is definitely on my list of comfort foods. It's been one of my fave desserts for as long as I can remember. And this vegan cheesecake is so creamy and delicious, no one would ever guess that it's plant-based!

    25

    Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream

    This strawberry ice cream is one vegan comfort food that you can indulge in guilt-free. It's fresh, creamy, and totally delicious.

    26

    No churn Bounty Vienetta Ice Cream

    Remember those old school vienetta ice cream blocks? Well now you can make your own vegan version at home. I dare say this is even better than the original.

    27

    Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

    Nothing brings me back to childhood quite like homemade peanut butter cookies. Warm, comforting, and totally delicious. And this recipe is completely vegan too!

    28
