Oh, the weather outside is frightful…and that means we make soup!

As a kid growing up in Michigan, hot soup was a staple meal that my mother would often make. You could always count on her having a massive pot of the stuff simmering on the stove. I loved all of my mom’s soup recipes. Rockin Robin Cooks has a wonderful YouTube Channel where she makes a fresh and homemade lentil soup that is chock-full of veggies.

When it comes to side dishesI really am partial to fresh vegetables. I love eating a ton of them with my main meal. Veggies are full of fiber, antioxidants, and flavor. Plus, if you’re trying to watch your weight, loading up on veggies is the way to do it. I always make sure my plate is piled high with veggies and low with carbs. What are some fo your favorite fat-burning foods?

If you’re into one pot meals like I am, this recipe is probably going to make you feel super giddy. Seriously, besides tasting absolutely amazing, slow cooker honey garlic chicken and vegetables is one of the easiest wholesome meals I’ve ever made for my family. Who doesn’t like the idea of throwing everything into the Crock Pot, coming back in a few hours, and chowing down on awesome food? I hear crickets…

This is a meal you’ll add to your meal plan for years to come. The recipe suggests a variety of vegetables to add to the pot, but feel free to toss in whatever tickles your fancy. I used baby carrots, potatoes, asparagus, and added in a few cups of sweet corn. Needless to say, it this dish was a huge success at my dinner table.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, we’ll be stepping out of our comfort zones and head on down the dusty trail of new tantalizing new foods. First stop, the Quinoa Highway.

If you aren’t familiar with quinoa, know this: it’s a grain from the Gods. Quinoa has been used in recipes for since ancient times. This great little grain makes a wonderful substitute for traditional noodles when making soups and stews. Plus, it’s packed with an assortment of good-for-you vitamins. We’re confident that once you cook up your first pot of quinoa vegetable soup, you’ll be hooked for life.

If you’re a fan of hearty vegetables swimming in a sea of savory broth, you’ve come to the right place. Nothing is better than a steaming bowl of soup on a chilly day. In fact, I enjoy soup so much that I eat it even when the days are bright and sunny, and I know you will too!

When it comes to the ultimate in comfort foods, beef stew is definitely the ticket. Smelling the aroma of this fabulous stew as it simmers in a Crock Pot will give you feelings of nostalgia of when your mom or grandma used to cook this delectable dish. Filled with chunks of tender beef, hearty vegetables, and a thick gravy, this stew will warm your belly and soul.

Carrots, potatoes, onions, and more all cooked to delicate perfection for hours when set on low in the Crock Pot. Set it and forget it, lady! Do your shopping, go to work, or visit a friend, and by the time you get home, this marvelous stew will be ready to serve. I like to pair beef stew with a flaky buttermilk Pillsbury Grands! biscuit. My kids enjoy dipping their biscuits directly in the stew but I prefer to pour it on top. Yummo!

Everyone loves Ranch dressing, and sometimes it makes an appearance in the last place you’d think, as a tasty flavorful addition. These pork chops are no different. Not only that, this recipe takes place entirely in 1 pan! I absolutely love one-dish recipes. It makes everything so much easier for me on a busy weekday when I don’t have to worry about a massive clean-up operation.

Ready in about 2 minutes, this recipe serves 4 people generously.  Serve with a side of greens for a full and nutritiously complete meal.  These also make for great leftover lunches the next day – but I have to warn you… This is so delicious it’s going to be gone before you know it. So if you want some of those leftovers, you might want to make a double batch!  Enjoy!

Quick tip: You can use your favorite beans instead of green beans.

Hey, I am a meat eater.  But I also love my veggies, and I like having a good go-to option that will satisfy me and my vegetarian friends (I have a few).  This fits the bill for a quiet home meal or a bustling event (though you may need to tweak the recipe a bit if you have strict vegans on the guest list).

I have a bit of a confession to make: I skip breakfast a lot. When I do eat that meal, I often want something fairly light: enough to settle my stomach a bit and give me a little energy but not enough to bog me down. This casserole is perfect for that. And though it is a breakfast dish, it also works well as part of a nice picnic lunch, when you want something flavorful but don’t want to be feasting on anything too rich while lounging in the sun.
