Anti-inflammatory and Immune-Boosting Vegan Soup Recipe My holiday gift to YOU is a new immune-boosting recipe to keep you healthy this winter. This creamy butternut soup will become the soup you crave all winter long. Roasting the butternut and adding the whole roasted garlic adds deep flavor. The red lentils and cashews add protein and creaminess. This soup is perfectly spiced to warm you from... This basic vinaigrette pairs happily with any refreshing salad. We are partial to pouring it generously over our Green Apple–Fennel Salad with Hazelnuts. This dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. If the oil solidifies, briefly microwave on low until melted. For these, I’m simply going to say that sweet potato and cheddar is not a flavor combination I, personally, enjoy. —Jessica Zucchini-Cheddar Cornbread And don’t fear the butter. Fueling up with healthy fats is a great way to start your day. Fat helps transport important vitamins throughout your hardworking body and will help keep you satisfied longer.

This meal satisfies me anytime of day. I love that the quinoa cooks with the veggies so you don't need multiple pots. Basic Apple Cider Vinaigrette: Combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper in a glass jar with a lid. Shake vigorously until emulsified. Use your hands to roll the pecan butter into bite-size balls. (If the nut butter is warm or liquid-y, chill it in the fridge to make it easier to handle.) Place the balls on the baking sheet. Join us for our next and final Spring cooking class!(Live via Zoom) What’s in Season during Spring/Summer?This looks to be a really good cookbook for athletes who are willing to cook. The book does seem geared toward runners, and it's written by two runners. I don't know that the CrossFit or Paleo crowd will like it as much as the running crowd. Some of the recipes seem heavy on the carb side. This cookbook is part of the slow cooking trend. Save leftover burgers for a lunch Power Bowl. Combine cooked grain with any leftover veggies or greens from previous salads and top with a reheated burger and toppings. If you still have pesto leftover, a dollop on top is highly recommended. Save leftover potatoes and cauliflower to have with Blueberry Lemon Scones and eggs for breakfast on Saturday! Editor’s note: Shalane eats these pasta and meatballs after running 26 miles at altitude, but if you’re not an endurance athlete, this is a bigger plate than you need. Stretch the recipe for 6 servings, instead. Meatballs make great leftovers! Simple Marinara Sauce We’ve got the recipe for Spelt Blueberry Yogurt here.] Malissa’s Favorite: Vegan Red Velvet Superhero Muffins*

Elyse and I gobbled these up during our sunrise cookbook photo shoot, which was needed since we ended up running about 13 mountain miles! My 4 year old wants only pancakes or waffles every single morning, so we make a big batch on Sundays and reheat in the toaster. I always have this mix on hand. The recipe makes a lot but you can easily cut it in half.

Saturdays: Varies The Sides Chapter was disappointing for me. I am always looking for healthy sides that are made from nonstarchy vegetables. The ones they include are variations of things I already do. We’re making our go-to DIY Grain Salad for dinner so we can enjoy it for an easy work lunch during the week. Use any combination of seasonal veggies from the list above or leftover grilled or roasted veggies. This recipe is super customizable, so choose your own adventure!

We gave some suggestions for the hummus veggies, burger toppings, trail mix, and seasonal fruit for breakfasts, but just get whatever you and your family will enjoy most. In a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, warm the oil over medium-high heat. Place the meatballs in the pot in a single layer without crowding them, and cook, turning the meatballs so they brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pot as you go. If using ground beef, pour out all but 1 to 2 Tbsp. of the fat prior to adding the sauce. Both of our husbands request this recipe all the time. Probably because they taste like an everything bagel and are best slathered in cream cheese or butter. Heading out the door?

I was horribly distracted when I was making these (college football had more of my attention than the recipe did) and I think I may have either forgotten an ingredient or left them in the oven a touch too long. I want a re-do because they were delicious anyway, just a little dry. I also served these up to our 5K race volunteers and they were a crowd-pleaser. Seems like kids would like these a lot for breakfast. I actually used them as a dessert—admittedly a wholesome, healthy dessert, but I’m generally sold on anything with chocolate chips. —Erin Erin’s Favorite: Race Day Superhero MuffinsA fun, different way to use pesto, which I often relegate to pasta or stirring into soups. If you want something savory that leans a little Italian, this is the one. —Jessica Everything Bagel Superhero Muffins*

Turmeric contains a substance called curcumin, which is a potent anti-inflammatory. Studies suggest that curcumin has the same effect as NSAID’s in reducing inflammation without the possible negative side effects. Nature’s very own Advil!We want to celebrate the change of seasons from a very long, hard winter to a bright, warm, and hopeful Spring and Summer.

After a long winter full of starchy roasted veggies and hearty soups and stews, it’s finally time to hit refresh and brighten up our meals... How To Get Out of a Cooking Rut As runners, we experience and feel inflammation everytime we exercise through sore muscles.

Drop one ball at a time in the chocolate coating, use a fork to lift out, and return it to the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining balls. Top each truffle with a small pinch of the salt.
