So much has happened since last week! We made the big move from city to suburbs. All and all, it went very smoothly.<\/p>\n

We're loving our new house in the 'burbs. The only hiccup in the moving process has been that we quickly realized we have critters in the attic here. We thought they were raccoons given how noisy they've been at night, but turns out it's actually squirrels up there. The wildlife service that came out spotted plenty of evidence, including walnut shells and a fuzzy gray squirrel.<\/p>\n

I have to say, the strangest thing about the suburbs\u2014aside from the sounds of critter gymnastics in the attic\u2014has been the general lack of sounds at night. In our condo, it wasn't uncommon to wake up to the sound of airplanes, semi trucks, car alarms, and construction at all hours of the night. Here, it's little more than the subdued hum of the furnace kicking on.<\/p>\n

And while I haven't had much of a chance to cook in this new kitchen of ours, I've certainly been daydreaming about the idea. At the top of my to-cook-in-the-new-house list is most definitely these vegan super greens stuffed shells.<\/p>\n

If you're looking for a warm, winter-friendly way to incorporate more greens into your life, these stuffed shells are it.<\/p>\n

They pack heaps of nutrient-dense dark, leafy greens and are incredibly easy to make.<\/p>\n

The recipe is also flexible. Read: You can easily knock down the power green punch a notch or two if you or your littles are less than enthusiastic about emerald-hued veggies.<\/p>\n

However, if you're looking for a swift kick of leafy love, follow the recipe as written.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

To make these simple vegan stuffed shells, start by pressing the tofu, cooking the jumbo shells, and saut\u00e9ing the greens.<\/p>\n

I prefer to use a combination of Swiss chard and kale, but you can feel free to adjust to suit your tastes. If you're just stepping into the world of dark leafy greens, baby spinach is a great green to lead with.<\/p>\n

You'll saute the greens in olive oil and garlic. Then, you'll thoroughly chop them once they've cooled a bit.<\/p>\n

Next, you'll pulse the pressed tofu in a food processor until the desired ricotta-like texture is reached. I prefer a smoother, creamier ricotta, so I pulse quite a lot.<\/p>\n

Transfer the tofu to a large mixing bowl and stir in the chopped greens, finely chopped parsley or basil, nutritional yeast flakes, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if you'd like a bit of a kick).<\/p>\n

Then, stir, stir, stir until thoroughly mixed.<\/p>\n

To prepare the shells, spoon a bit of marinara into the bottom of a casserole dish.<\/p>\n

Then, stuff each shell with about three tablespoons of the tofu ricotta mixture and transfer to the casserole dish. Repeat until you have about 16 generously stuffed shells.<\/p>\n

Finally, spoon a bit of marinara over each shell, cover the pan with foil, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until warmed through.<\/p>\n

Serve the shells with plenty of additional marinara sauce, if desired.<\/p>\n
