The first month of 2024 is already behind us so let’s recap with a January Recipe Roundup. Get ready to get hungry!
January Recipe Roundup- Weak in the Knees for Cheese
How are you doing on your New Year’s Reset and resolutions? I’m close to finishing my first book of the year. So far I’m also sticking to a 90% plant-based diet. I didn’t do a full “Veganuary” because I simply can’t give up cheese, but I did go 99.9% plant-based and loved it.
Do you love cheese too? If you’ve been curious but haven’t already tried one of my recipes featuring halloumi cheese, maybe it’s time. There are two recipes featuring halloumi in the January Recipe Roundup. Click the images to jump to the recipes.
Blueberry Quinoa Salad with Halloumi is dressed with a mixture of champagne vinegar (sub white wine vinegar), lime juice, maple syrup and olive oil. It’s an easy dressing that goes with pretty much any salad.
The second recipe of the January Recipe Roundup is halloumi and snap pea salad with honey lime dressing. This is one of the freshest and most addictive recipes I’ve made and it also has a super easy and versatile dressing.
This dish might seem like it would be too light for the middle of winter but sometimes you need a break from heavy soups and stews. It will definitely be a staple meal when the hot days hit this summer.
Super Bowl
If you’re team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, make your own Super Bowl! Brussel sprout and pesto quinoa bowl is a hearty and healthy choice that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
This January Recipe Roundup bowl requires a few steps if you make it from scratch. Check out the recipe post for shortcuts.
Roasted eggplant and tomato couscous is another Super Bowl of food that satisfies your gooey eggplant cravings. It’s also one of the easiest dishes in the January Recipe Roundup.
Both of these January Roundup Recipes feature labneh which I’m still obsessed with so it’s going on pretty much everything.
January Recipe Roundup – Handhelds
My favorite “eat more plants” dish in the January Recipe Roundup is tempeh and black bean tacos. This recipe is a great way to try tempeh – one of the healthiest proteins you can eat.
This speedy weeknight meal is as easy as making ground beef tacos and much more delicious.
Leaving January Behind
The final item in the January Recipe Roundup was designed to transport you far away from cold winter days. If you close your eyes when you sip pineapple banana oat milk smoothie, you’ll find yourself on a sandy beach with the ocean lapping your toes.
Fabulous February
That’s a wrap on the January Recipe Roundup 2024!
There’s a lot to look forward to in February besides the days getting longer. For those who observe Lent and plan to give up meat, Once Upon a Frittata will fill your inbox with plant-based options so make sure to subscribe below.
It’s also the month where we celebrate Valentine’s Day, so be on the lookout for sweet surprises next month.
