With Winter around the corner, there is bound to be plenty on the mind: study sessions, final exams, and the upcoming Holiday break! Taking time off for yourself is important, not only to relieve stress but also to take the time to enjoy what the season has to offer, especially when it comes to culinary treats! 

Feeling adventurous? Dare to try something new and indulge in a Beet Salad! Rich in antioxidants that help support good cell health, Beets also help to maintain and even increase your oxygen intake. Is food presentation your preference? This festive red and green Kale Salad with Cranberries includes heart-healthy ingredients such as kale, almonds, and extra virgin olive oil that will give you every reason to feel guilt-free about seconds! 

For those who are watching their gluten or salt, a No-Sugar-Added Sweet Potato Casserole may be just the answer. With both savory and sweet in check, the pecans in this recipe are sure to compliment the sweet potatoes and cinnamon! Similarly, this vegetarian dish is not only holiday colored and festive, but these Roasted Brussels sprouts with Goat cheese and pomegranate are delicious and pomegranates naturally promote healthy digestion!

For a main course that is high in protein and lean, a Garlic-Rosemary Roast Beef with a tangy horseradish sauce is bound to impress, and can even be prepared on the skillet! For a better roast, season the beef with salt and pepper and refrigerate for one day before making.

Up for something more challenging but equally as pleasing? This Chicken Ballitone with creamy Leek & Chestnut stuffing offers a unique portion size that includes holiday flavors, and will leave extra room for sides! 

For dessert, if you have a crock pot or a slow cooker, why not try an Apple Crisp? Apples and cinnamon combined offer an unforgettable wintery warmth! If apple is not your flavor, some Cranberry-Lemon Cheesecake bars offer a perfect balance between sweet and tangy. 

No matter what is on your plate this winter break, we wish you all a safe holiday season filled with cheer!

If you have a busy lifestyle and find yourself on the run, the health benefits of raw fruit and vegetables may be something to consider.

A more savory and wholesome option would be this no grill required Salt-and-Pepper Cauliflower. 

If you want a reason to use the grill, try this Grilled Buttermilk Chicken. The buttermilk, garlic, and thyme-based marinade offers a unique and appealing blend of heart-healthy herbs! If you are looking for a classic sweet and savory recipe, look no further than this Healthyish Barbecue Chicken recipe. Want some vegetarian options? No problem! A Lentil Burger or these Creamy Avocado and White Bean Wraps not only offer a unique flavor but are also low in calories and high in fiber.

Craving something sweet? How about a three-ingredient diabetes-friendly Cherry Sorbet? Chocolate and banana lovers can’t miss the S’mores Banana Bread! 

Whatever the occasion may be, don’t forget that eating healthy does not necessarily mean eating ‘boring’ or bland foods. Every day offers a new chance to try something new, and the potential for flavor opportunities is endless!
