All of my favorite things in one dish! If raw zucchini isn't your thing, I suggest a quick, hot saute with a small splash of olive oil. Either way — delish!

Simple beef meatballs with a white wine and chive tomato sauce

This is the meatball recipe my mom has always used. It’s simple enough to whip together in a hurry — and one of the first meals I think I remember mom letting me “make” (i.e. mush the ingredients together and roll into balls). I probably also made these meatballs for all of my roommates. The only difference today? I created a new sauce.

Chipotle-pumpkin chili

Are pumpkin flavors just for fall time? Absolutely not. It is a winter squash, after all. Pumpkin is chock full of vitamin A, which helps maintain your immune system while your entire office or family is sick.

I had a gum graft recently, which meant three thing: Vicodin, soup and Netflix. This is an extremely easy soup, so it didn't require much effort on my part and I could quickly get back to my spot on the couch.

It totally bums me out that I can't easily compost at my apartment, so this was my little solution to that problem. On the day before our usual farmer's market trip, I went through the refrigerator and grabbed up all the vegetables that looked toward the end of their life. I also made sure to save some scraps from my prep during the week: corn cobs sans corn, broccoli stalks and onion stems.

My neighborhood just got a compost program! But before that, this was (and will continue to occasionally be) my vegetable scraps solution.

Roasted vegetable and quinoa soup

A great way to use vegetables that are on their last leg is to roast them and turn them into soup. Even if you don’t eat the soup that night, you can keep it in the fridge for about five days or freeze it for about three months.

Poached egg over wilted greens with bacon and tomatoes

This is sort of a deconstructed breakfast BLT. Definitely play around with what sort of greens you use. My turnip tops were a bit earthy, which played nicely with the peppery arugula and sweet-acidic tomatoes. Of course the bacon and egg added all the fattiness I needed.

Mac and cheese with cauliflower, tomatoes and mustard breadcrumbs

It’s mac and cheese season! But that doesn’t mean it has to be all heavy. Swapping out some of the pasta with cauliflower helps to lighten the dish, along with folding in greens and using skim milk.

I tend to go a little carbohydrate crazy, and every once in a while I need a meal that will fill me up, but without any breads or pastas or what have you. I almost always turn to quinoa in these instances, which is high in protein and is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus.
