It seems no matter where you live, this January has been a bit chillier than most. Warming up at dinner time has become essential in our home.
Wrap your hands around bowls of a one-pot delight of Hearty Miso Soup. Another soup this week, the Spicy Squash Soup is a lovely accompaniment to the Brie Portobellos. Make extra mushrooms to take on the go for lunch the next day.
Warming my drafty home with the oven seems to get us through the brisk evenings until we gather around the fire. Baked Chicken Broccoli & Brown Rice fits the bill perfectly for days when my kitchen needs warming. Any extra broccoli & brie from the portobellos can be tossed with eggs in the Apricot, Brie & Broccoli Scramble. Bake a couple extra pieces of chicken in the rice (if there is room in there) and chop up extra chicken for the Chunky Chicken & Apple Salad.
The Pasta Bake with Garlic-Walnuts is a fun variation on the classic make ahead, toss-it in the oven dish. The Garlic-Walnuts offer extra protein, you could even skip the cheese to make it vegan as they give a fabulous unexpected flavor boost. Pair this with the Kale Caesar for a small feast that is easy to make ahead or save for leftovers.
Roasting the Lemon-Ginger Cauliflower and steaming Coconut Rice keeps my kitchen cranking. A quick toss of the Coconut Chard and searing the Ginger-Coconut Calamari is all that is left to do.
Starting the day with a steamy bowl of oats is such a classic winter dish in our country, but for my own low blood sugar I am more likely to make it to lunch if I have a big dollop of nut butter to go with it. Swirling in a touch of jam or even frozen berries gives it the all American joy of PBJ Oatmeal.
