1. Smoky Quinoa, Black Bean and Pinto Bean Chili
Hearty chili is a winter staple, but things can get a bit out of hand when you start piling on the meat, cheese and sour cream. This version, however, is a healthy, balanced meal with plenty of protein & fiber to keep you full.
2. Rice & Zucchini Noodles with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
Substitute spaghetti with a mix of thin rice noodles & zucchini noodles for a healthier take on an easy weeknight classic.

3. Coconut Thai Curry with Sweet Potatoes and Spinach
Skip the takeout & make this creamy coconut curry for a comforting dinner.
4. Chicken Soup with White Beans
We love the addition of white beans to this shredded chicken soup. Comfort food at its finest!
5. Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Tahini and Maple Coffee Balsamic Glaze
What's more comforting than mashed potatoes? You won't miss the butter or cream with this unique recipe.

6. Mushroom & White Truffle Mac & Cheese
It's not easy to make "healthier" mac and cheese that still tastes great, but this version with rich truffle oil and hearty mushrooms does the trick.
7. Local Squash, Brussels Sprout & Cranberry Pizza
Load up your pizza with fresh, seasonal produce. Our feedfeed original recipe has a squash base, brussels sprouts, caramelized onions, cranberries, pine nuts, and of course, a bit of cheese.
