Fall is on the horizon, and I've already begun craving soup. When the weather turns cold, what’s more comforting and satisfying than a big bowl of steaming hot soup? It’s definitely a staple in my house during the fall and winter months. Every weekend I make a large batch of soup in the crockpot, and my family and I enjoy it for lunch throughout the whole week. It’s a time saver, and it’s also a great way to increase your intake of fiber-rich beans and vegetables. My recipe for split pea soup is definitely the "stick-to-your-ribs" type - very thick and filling; however, it's easy to thin with extra water or broth if you prefer a thinner consistency. It is also quick and easy to make, has a short ingredient list, and this version is vegetarian, with the ham flavor coming from a seasoning packet instead of a ham hock.
Rice and beans is the ultimate meal or side dish with its low food cost, widespread availability, variety, and high nutrient content. The rice in this recipe gets its bright yellow color from Sazón seasoning, which is made up of a flavorful blend of spices including cumin, garlic, turmeric, and Mexican saffron.
Poultry lovers – this burger is for you. Ground chicken provides the basis for a juicy, delicious burger, and it takes on the flavors of anything added to it. This burger has sautéed onions, spinach, and some spices mixed directly into the meat, and is topped with cheddar cheese and sautéed mushrooms. I kept this meal low-carb by serving it bun-less. Other alternatives include wrapping the burger in lettuce or cabbage leaves; serving it open faced on one-half of a bun; or sandwiching it between some thin-sliced whole wheat bread or a toasted English muffin.
Marinade packets come in handy when you want a flavorful dish in one easy step. I whipped up a quick garlic, tomato, and basil marinade and used it both to marinate my chicken breast, and serve as a sauce. The chicken is cooked using a ridged cast iron grill pan, which means that this recipe is one that can be made indoors at any time of the year.
Grain-based dishes are the perfect vessel for incorporating a few servings of vegetables into your daily intake, especially for anyone who is not particularly fond of eating their veggies. By adding vegetables raw, cooked, or pureed, you will not only add a generous helping of vitamins and minerals to your meal, but you will also stretch the dish, which is great for large families or for those who enjoy eating leftovers throughout the week. This recipe features farfalle (a.k.a. bowtie) pasta, smothered in a delicious butternut squash sauce full of peppers, onions, and green peas.
September is a busy month for many people with the new school year starting up. This means new schedules, extra-curricular activities, sports, car pools, homework, and other work and family events, which can leave little time for cooking dinner. This creamy salsa chicken is a meal that you can get on the table quickly, using only one pot and a healthy mix of protein, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates. I find that adding a ton of beans and veggies to a dish stretches it out, making it possible to feed a large crowd and still have enough for leftovers. Use the leftover creamy salsa chicken as a delicious filling for a salad or a taco the next day.
Crisp-tender zucchini and yellow squash roasted with garlic in the oven is a healthy side dish that will go well with anything!
It seems like banana and egg pancakes have become really popular lately, especially for those who are trying to eat healthy, stay fit, cut down on their intake of grains and refined carbs, or eat gluten-free. I like these pancakes simply because they’re delicious! They’ve got a light, fluffy texture, a slightly sweet taste, and they’re the perfect breakfast food because they combine my love for quick & easy recipes, eggs, bananas, pancakes, and the flavor of French toast all in one little 3-ingredient package. I could go on about how great they are, but don't just take my word for it- you'll want to give them a try for yourself.
