Loaded with a robust array of vegetables you can find in good form year round, like cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and zucchini, and creamy hunks of feta cheese, this hearty roasted vegetable salad is the go-with-the-flow friend who’s happy to follow your mood. Carry this meal-prep and travel-friendly salad along for a potluck, where it will freshen up anything you plate alongside it.Serve it for a healthy side dish with whatever you have planned for dinner tonight....

A lightening fast recipe that can’t help but put you in a celebratory mood, this light and fizzy drink takes the classic, elegant combination of strawberries and champagne and turns it into a breezy cocktail that will have you feeling your finest, even if you are partying the way we are tonight: in our sweatpants! This is a recipe for a jazzed-up glass of bubbly. It feels fancy in the best kind of way....

Plus, this recipe contains NO OIL. The pumpkin does 100% of the lifting to make it super soft and tender, no extra fat or added sugars required. The vegan pumpkin bread came to be a few weeks ago on an unexpectedly chilly morning. A crisp breeze ruffled the leaves in that particular way that belongs distinctly to autumn. I found a can of pumpkin in the pantry and took a poll on Instagram to see how many of you were ready for pumpkin recipes....

Apple picking (and the associated Apple Bread baking) is one of my favorite fall traditions, and I can rarely leave the orchard without a jug of fresh-pressed apple cider. It was this past weekend at my local orchard where I saw jars of premade caramel sauce sitting beside rows of cider. I almost bought one but quickly remembered that homemade caramel sauce (like this Vegan Caramel Sauce) is ALWAYS the better option....

Not that I would begrudge you for turning Candy Cane Snowball Cookies and 2 Ingredient Homemade Hot Chocolate into dinner by any means, but I find that priming my cookie intake with a hearty, healthy meal like this seasonal spin on chicken and wild rice casserole helps the sweets settle more pleasantly. Further, this chicken and wild rice casserole is wildly delicious—as in, I can’t promise you leftovers, even though you are definitely going to want them for lunch the next day and the day after that and next week too....

Dedicating one’s life to streamlining dish duty (while eating carbs) might be demanding, but I can’t say no to divine authority—especially when it tastes like heaven. In addition to getting all of us out of washing a separate pasta pot (you’re welcome), cooking the pasta in the same skillet as other ingredients can actually make it easier to create a creamy pasta that tastes decadent but, like this broccoli pasta, is actually healthy for you....

When I’m scheming ways to create healthy recipes that taste as scrumptious as their no-holds-barred indulgent counterparts, turkey- or chicken-based Italian sausage is one of my most treasured tools. This one-pan Sausage and Rice Casserole was one of the first healthy meals I learned to cook, this sheet pan Italian Sausage and Peppers hits the spot when I’m in a hurry, and this Italian Sausage with Butternut Squash Gnocchi (and its cousin, Skillet Lasagna) are two of your recent favorites....

Imagine your favorite Asian takeout egg roll, but instead of limiting yourself to one or two to save room for the main event, this delish egg roll in a bowl is the main event. This recipe takes all the star players in a classic egg roll filling and turns them into a fast, healthy meal that’s the perfect easy weeknight dinner (it’s phenomenal leftover too). Juicy meat (or tofu, if you prefer your egg roll in a bowl vegetarian)....

Now, before I go on and tell you why of all the fruit flag cake recipes in the universe you should make this particular flag cake, let me clear up one tiny point: I did not invent flag cake. While I aspire to that level of culinary adorableness, I’ve never been particularly adept at fancy desserts or anything bordering on “theme” food. Dear future parents of my hypothetical children’s classmates: please do not judge my children for their mother’s pitiful lack of décor at their birthday parties....

Just like when I make Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls or Pumpkin Gingerbread Muffins, the smell wafts into every square inch of my kitchen. It’s truly magical and instantly makes the room feel nice and cozy. The aromas of ginger, molasses, maple syrup, and toasting nuts are positively intoxicating. So much so, I nearly burned my second batch, purely because I didn’t want the smell to end. I now see why the witch tempted Hansel and Gretel with a house made of gingerbread, versus any other cookie (although I bet these Granola Cookies would have drawn them there eventually)....

Ultra juicy and best served smothered with all manners of Tex-Mex fixin’s, these grilled chicken burgers have become a weeknight (and weekend) default meal at our house. They take less than 10 minutes to prep, boast serious southwest flavor, and are even healthy too! Plus, since we usually throw the chicken burgers on the grill (you can also cook them stovetop if you prefer), I’m left with little to clean up, beyond our dinner plates…and my skinny margarita glass....

Historically, I’ve been a Grilled Chicken Breast kind of girl, but in the last few years, I’ve seen the light that is chicken thighs. Chicken thighs are inherently juicier than chicken breast, making them much more difficult to dry out.Dark meat has a richer flavor than white meat. It’s one of the reasons Ben will pick Air Fryer Chicken Thighs over Air Fryer Chicken Breast every single time.Chicken thighs are healthy!...

A mild, firm-bodied fish, cod is ideal for cooking on the barbie. It can hold together on the grill grates (just use a gentle touch and a flexible spatula like this one). Not ready to take the plunge and cook the cod directly on the grates? No biggie. I have directions for you to grill it in a foil packet instead, a trick I use whenever I’m making Grilled Salmon in Foil....

It’s a rich, creamy casserole side dish that’s made with frozen hash browns, a buttery, crispy topping (if you’re asking my family, that topping better be corn flakes), and a number of other ingredients that—in the words of my mother, a potato casserole queen—“you don’t want to know.” What you should know: Hash brown casserole tastes like pure comfort.It’s easy to make for a crowd.It freezes and reheats like a dream....

Hasselback Apple outward appearance: Glossy magazine cover. Martha Stewart. Grandma’s from-scratch apple pie. Delicious. Hasselback Apple inner reality: The coffee stain on my glossy magazine cover. Betty Crocker. I was craving apple pie but feeling too lazy to make apple pie. Delicious. A few weeks ago, I had a crisper drawer full of apples threatening to spoil and a strong hankering for something warm and comforting that I could top with vanilla ice cream....

Whenever I need a fast, nutritious weeknight dinner (or whenever my refrigerator is overflowing with assorted bits of on-the-brink vegetables—these two events often coincide), I turn to stir fries. Recipes like this Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry, Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry, and Tofu Stir Fry are: Quick and easy.Adaptable to the ingredients you have on hand.A seriously tasty way to get your fill of vegetables and lean protein in a single meal....

Truth be told, when I first made this healthy sweet potato casserole, I was not in the market for a new sweet potato recipe. For years, I’d made and loved my mom’s Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Whiskey Pecans. It, Butternut Squash Casserole, and Rosemary Bacon Mushroom Stuffing are my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes to the extent that after the meal, I hide a container of them in an undisclosed location for my own personal consumption....

This easy no yeast naan recipe is ready in less than an hour and bewitches with its fluffy center and blistered exterior. Thanks to the optional (or not optional) finishing brush of garlic butter, it holds its own against any traditional naan recipe you’d order in a restaurant. Even though I adore Indian food today, when I first tried it at the age of 12, I was not a fan....

With the exception of a bell pepper (which you can add one, two, or none of), this easy recipe is made nearly entirely of pantry staples. If the word “pantry staples” makes you quiver by this point, please stay with me. This recipe is going to taste fresh and lively and not at all like you made it by doing a deep dive into your cabinet, grabbing cans of this and that, stirring them together, and praying for the best (even though shhhh that is exactly what we are going to do, and it’s going to be FANTASTIC)....
