It’s that time of year again – time for colds, coughs, sinus infections, flus, and stomach bugs that could strike at any moment. Sick days can often make us lose our appetite and make us sensitive to the foods we eat. This soup recipe is my variation of chicken noodle soup. It’s made with chicken, rice, and a mixture of low-residue vegetables, all of which nourish the body and are easy to digest. This recipe is a quick one to whip up - in just 15 minutes, you’ve got a flavorful, soothing, and comforting bowl of brothy chicken soup.
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.
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.
Crisp-tender zucchini and yellow squash roasted with garlic in the oven is a healthy side dish that will go well with anything!
These low-carb, low-fat lettuce wraps are packed with protein, veggies, and the hot, spicy flavor of Franks Red Hot Wings Buffalo sauce. This recipe is so easy to make, requires only a few ingredients, and is a great healthy alternative to buffalo wings. The problem with buffalo-flavored items served at restaurants is that the sauce is usually mixed with a lot of butter, and it's coating a food that is breaded and fried, which adds a ton of extra fat and calories to an otherwise healthy meal. Try these wraps- they're light, yet filling, and taste-wise they really hit the spot.
I love all the colors and flavors in this dish. Chicken, asparagus, peppers, carrots, and tomatoes are tossed into one pan and baked in a honey balsamic marinade. A delicious and easy weeknight meal!
These red and green peppers are stuffed with a cooked brown rice and vegetable filling, mixed with a seasoned tomato sauce. Full of fiber, protein, magnesium, vitamin C, and many other essential nutrients, these stuffed peppers are a healthy vegetarian and gluten-free dish.
My coleslaw recipe uses Greek yogurt to make this a light, fat-free dish, perfect to serve up alongside a burger, or use as the base for a salad. It's so good, I promise you won't miss the mayo.
