    Vegetable Stock

    Making your own vegetable stock is as easy as chopping the vegetables. Double, triple, or quadruple the recipe and freeze some for later use. This is my go-to stock recipe, but you can use whatever vegetables you have available. From Forks Over Knives – The Cookbook

    Lentil Shepherd’s Pie with Rustic Parsnip Crust
