Throw some veggies in a pot, simmer, finish in a blender, and viola! It's so fragrant and has a nice little kick. A mug of this soup is great on a cold day.

The sweet and the savory, and you get to eat vegetables that aren't a raw salad. Make this with the almond crusted chicken and you get really satisfying, clean food you can chow down on.

A healthy, tasty substitute for breaded chicken you can eat all week. Boom.

Also really good without the chocolate chips! Some people love a Starbucks pumpkin cream cheese muffin (ahem, me) but this is healthier, cheaper, and delicious. For a seriously delightful take on it, make your thanksgiving cranberry sauce and swirl some of the sauce into the muffin mix. Omg.

This is just literally one of the most flavorful, delicious things I have ever put in my own mouth. It's also a great way to ease into the InstaPot if, like me, you find it a little intimidating. How does one pot do so. many. things?

I first made this recipe in 2000 at a ski cabin in Tahoe, CA. This was the time of my life when I lived in San Francisco and frequently drove to the Sierras to live the ski bum dream. Just as the Sierras are very special mountains, this is a very special chili recipe. The secret is the Bay Leaf, shhhhh. You can make it with ground turkey or beef or meatless, it's will always be reeeallll goooood.

With much chopping and some spiralizing, this recipe takes a minute, BUT it's warming, ginger-y, Thai-inspired, like-delivery-but-you-made-it-yourself healthy goodness. It's *chef's kiss* and don't forget the fresh herbs.
