Winter

Beat the winter blues with this collection of healthy winter recipes! Whether you’re planning a hearty breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a cozy holiday drink, you’ll find plenty of nourishing options to warm up during the colder months!

Start your day with hot chocolate oatmeal or healthy chocolate waffles, then enjoy savory steel-cut oats with mushrooms and thyme for lunch.

If you’re wondering what to make for dinner, here, you’ll find what you need to plan a complete five-course feast! Begin with appetizers like creamy baba ganoush, dive into soups like hearty chicken and white bean soup or barley vegetable soup, and enjoy fresh salads like mixed greens with roasted veggies.

For the main event, chicken and green lentil casserole is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. And, of course, no winter meal is complete without something sweet. You’ll love my fall & winter baked fruit and healthy apple cake!

Don’t forget to pair your meal with a festive winter drink, such as hot mulled apple cider or raspberry hot chocolate!
