Cheesy Rice Casserole
Gooey cheddar cheese, colorful veg and steamed rice make for a hearty and seemingly decadent dinner.
Vampire Chilies 3 Ways
Three simple recipes came from receiving a few vampire chilies to try out. They were versatile and pretty veg to sample!
Summer Vegetable Lasagne
Lasagne may not seem like the best way to show off summer produce, but going light on the cheese means you can taste everything and not feel like a dead weight once it’s all gone.

Tomato, White Bean and Spinach Panade
Panade is a rustic dish that’s a great way to use cabinet staples and stale bread. This version is more of a stew than a bread pudding, and it’s super filling and comforting.
