40 Healthy Recipes the Whole Family Can Agree On
Cook up a healthy meal that everyone will enjoy with these easy and delicious dishes — desserts included!
Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Tomatoes and Ricotta
This quick, flavorful and healthy side is done from fridge to table in under 30 minutes. We trim off the top and bottom of the squash, poke it all over and cook it in the microwave in a fraction of the time it would take to roast it. If you wanted to make this a complete meal, juicy turkey meatballs would be a delightful accompaniment to this pasta alternative.
Healthy Dried Mushroom and Barley Soup
If you're looking for a hearty and healthful meal, consider this dried mushroom and barley soup. The barley adds nuttiness, a sprinkle of flour lends viscosity to the broth and the dried mushrooms provide meatiness and umami. If you have fresh mushrooms on hand, you can add them, too. The result is a deliciously nourishing, vegetarian dish that everyone will love.
One-Pot Caprese Pasta
This dish tastes just like your favorite summer salad, only heartier. If you haven't tried a one-pot pasta yet, do: It's a great timesaving trick. Place all the ingredients in the pot together, add enough water and simmer. The noodles and sauce cook together, which means this dinner is ready in just 15 minutes.
Homemade No-Cook Cookie Balls
These no-bake, bite-sized treats meet three essential dessert requirements: they're flavorful, easy to make and good for you. The almond butter provides plenty of protein, while the rolled oats and ground flaxseed lend a hearty dose of fiber. For a touch of natural sweetness, use honey instead of sugar.
