Healthy eating can be tough in the wintertime. We all just want to cozy up to warm, rich comfort foods. I crave certain foods in the winter, and I'm sure you all do too.

I found some recipes for comfort foods that have taken on a healthy makeover. Whole grains, more veggies, and reduced-fat soups are used in these updated versions of favorites like: Baked Mac & Cheese, Chicken Pot Pies, and more.

Check out all of the wonderfully delicious and healthful recipes here:

Additionally, I know quite a few people on here have expressed interest in and/or a practiced vegetarian lifestyle. I have not tried this recipe, but the combination looked delicious. If someone gives it a try, let me know what you think!

Hi All!

How is everyone doing with their health and fitness goals?

Here is a great healthy chicken pizza recipe! It's hard to feel motivated to cook in the winter, but it's a good feeling to have something easy, healthy, comforting, and delicious.

Here are some new years resolution-friendly restaurants that are including healthy options...always helpful for those road trips! Healthy eating should never be limited to "at home" only, but even at fast food restaurants. These places are becoming more and more conscious about the health craze, and they are willing to add more salads, low-fat, low-carb and other healthy choices.

As Thanksgiving nears, we are more and more conscious about the food on our plates. We should certainly indulge, but still do so sensibly. These recipes are not only healthy, but absolutely delicious. I have had some version of them before, and they are often more decadent than the usual favorites! Happy (early) Thanksgiving, all! Best, Jane

Here is an article about Tahini - a healthy middle eastern treat that is a spread to put on breads, crackers, etc. It is such an amazing snack and extremely healthy with yogurt and eggplant. Find the information below:

Hi Clara! Welcome! I also love cooking fresh veggies from my garden. I'm from Pittsburgh, so the veggie growing season is about over. Where are you from? What is your favorite healthy recipe?
