After Turkey Day, sometimes the last thing you want to do is eat another heavy meal.
Sheet-Pan Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a bang out of veggie-forward, Provencal-style stew.
Our sheet-pan ratatouille features tangy goat cheese and sweet balsamic glaze that complement the tender charred vegetables.
So “forbidden” rice isn’t just striking, it’s also a serious nutrition upgrade.
Simmering it in coconut milk adds rich aroma and flavor.
This easy recipe makes a big batch for lunches or veggie-packed snacks all week.
Avocado & Kale Omelet
Move over, avocado toast.
It combines creamy, satisfying white beans and avocado.
Try mixing it up with different seasonal vegetables.
Giving tomatoes a stint in a hot oven makes them candy-sweet.
Healthy Detox Salad
Skip the cleanse and make this part of your healthy meal plan.
Everything can be prepared ahead of time except the avocado.
Mix it up with different flavors of hummus and different types of vegetables depending on your mood.
The lemony pistachio crust would also be lovely on other types of fish or chicken breasts.
Top with Cajun-seasoned shrimp to complete this quick and easy dinner.
Here, we have tossed the squash with a simple fresh tomato sauce.
Jazz up the sauce with crushed red pepper flakes, Kalamata olives and/or capers, if you like.
Slow-Cooker Vegetable & Chicken Meatball Soup
Don’t skip cooking the onions for the meatballs.
This step softens the onions so they more easily add their sweet flavor to the meatball mixture.
This slow-cooker meatball soup only requires 25 minutes of hands-on time.
Serve with whole-wheat couscous.
Keep it vegan or add a drizzle of plain yogurt for extra richness.
Brussels Sprouts Salad with Crunchy Chickpeas
This healthy high-fiber salad comes together in just 10 minutes.
Serve it right away or pack it in individual servings for four super-satisfying high-fiber lunches for the week ahead.
Look for roasted chickpea snacks with the healthy snacks or nuts at your grocery store.
Look for precooked lentils in the refrigerated section of the produce department.
If you’re looking for an easy way to work whole grains into your diet, this is it.
