I love to cook, but often I just do not have the time or energy for it. Cooking sometimes seems like the only option if I want to eat healthy, organic meals within my diet restrictions. Most quick meals often leave me feeling unsatisfied and hungry within an hour from eating. Amy’s Kitchen offers the solution for those who don’t have time to cook from scratch and those who want fulfilling vegetarian, organic meals.

They offer gluten free, vegan, dairy free, lactose free, soy free, tree nut free, and corn free options. In addition, for the meat-lovers, Amy’s Kitchen has meat-alternatives like their Veggie Loaf or Meatless Veggie Sausages. Even the dishes with no meat alternatives, however, still attract meat-lovers from the rich variety of flavor.

Best Bowls from Amy's Kitchen
Brown rice, Black-eyed Peas & Veggies Bowl
When I cook I often make rice bowls with vegetables since it can easily provide many nutrients and stay on the lighter side. Therefore, I find myself heating up Amy’s bowls often when I don’t have the time to cook. While this one is a bit high in sodium, the ginger sauce mixed with the rice, peas, and veggies creates a very flavorful, light meal overall.

Light & Lean Quinoa & Black Beans with Butternut Squash & Chard
This is another great light bowl with a lot of flavor. The quinoa, diced butternut squash, and sliced chard complement each other nicely to bring in a mix of taste. With the addition of the black beans, there is an added texture and more substance to the meal to make it filling enough for a small dinner.

Tortilla Casserole & Black beans bowl
Compared to the other bowls, this one is much higher in calories and sodium but, in my opinion, it is worth while because of its great taste. The amount of protein and fiber in the bowl also can make up for it depending on your diet preferences. If you are looking for a filling and tasteful meal that could fill a craving for Mexican food, this is a great choice.

Vegetable Lasagna
This is also one of my favorites because it falls under the category of comfort food while still having nutritional value, like its fiber and protein count. There are also multiple different variations of the meal: regular, family size, light in sodium, gluten free, and dairy free. The gluten free and dairy free vegetable lasagna is a personal staple in my kitchen for how delicious it is and how it always successfully fulfills my craving for lasagna.
