Courtesy of PETA U.S., we bring you Peanut Butter Cream Pie. Everyone loves peanut butter (and if you don’t, you’re crazy), so this no-fail recipe truly is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at every office bake sale, church potluck, or dinner party.
Curried Winter Vegetable Soup from talk show host Rachael Ray is sure to hit the spot on a chilly winter night. The leftovers are great when reheated for lunch the next day.

Skinny Bitch‘s Shepherd’s Pie is heaven on Earth for dieters seeking comfort food. The lentils are a healthy alternative to the mock meats used in other recipes, and they still pack a protein punch.
If you’re looking for a ready-in-seconds meal (OK, minutes maybe), try In a Hurry Green Curry from 101 Cookbooks. It’s flavorful but light.
Broccoli Curry Udon from the Post Punk Kitchen is a great vegetarian spin on the traditional udon you’d find in Japan’s many noodle bars. It’s laden with veggies, so you can feel good about slurping it up and then licking the bowl …
