The Recipes section of The Body Optimist serves up easy, delicious recipes<\/strong> for every day and every occasion: family meals, appetizers, desserts, snacks and holiday menus. The ingredients are easy to find, the steps stay simple, and many ideas come in vegetarian, no-cook or lactose-free versions, so you can cook around your cravings, your schedule and your budget.<\/p>\n A successful dish starts before you turn on the stove. Read the whole recipe, take out and measure all your ingredients, then set out your equipment: chefs call this mise en place. In baking, stick to the quantities, because flour, sugar, eggs and leavening each play a specific role in texture. Savory dishes leave more room to improvise: taste and adjust the seasoning as you go. Preheat the oven and check for doneness a few minutes before the stated time, since every oven heats differently. Finally, jot your tweaks down on the recipe: next time will be even better.<\/p>\n Our recipes are designed for real life: short ingredient lists, clear steps and reasonable budgets. We don\u2019t publish \u201cdiet\u201d recipes or put calories front and center: a dessert is a dessert, and it deserves its place at the table. We often suggest vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free variations so everyone can adapt a dish to their tastes, values or needs.<\/p>\n One-step dishes are the quickest: a vegetable omelet or frittata, stir-fried noodles, a blended soup, a grain bowl with raw veggies or an oven-baked ham and cheese sandwich. Most come together in under half an hour. Keep frozen vegetables, eggs and canned beans on hand to pull together a complete meal anytime.<\/p>\n In baking, one egg can be replaced with applesauce, mashed banana or ground flaxseed mixed with a little water. Cow\u2019s milk can be swapped for the same amount of plant-based milk, such as oat, soy or almond. The texture changes slightly, so try it first in simple bakes like loaf cakes, muffins or crepes.<\/p>\n Mix cold dishes you can make the day before with one or two warm bites. Vegetable dips, mini skewers, crudit\u00e9s, a savory loaf and homemade puff pastry bites please every palate. Plan vegetarian options and alcohol-free drinks so every guest can help themselves without a second thought.<\/p>\n Keep exploring: find all our food ideas in the Food<\/a> section, learn more about what\u2019s on your plate with our Nutrition<\/a> articles, and learn to cook with leftovers in the Green<\/a> section.<\/p>","parent":6143,"count":267,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":6144,"category_count":267,"category_description":" The Recipes section of The Body Optimist serves up easy, delicious recipes<\/strong> for every day and every occasion: family meals, appetizers, desserts, snacks and holiday menus.
