Make homemade veggie burgers in a snap with precooked lentils. We like the black beluga variety from Archer Farms, with no added salt. Brown lentils can be substituted but tend to be more moisture-dense and may require additional breadcrumbs to help bind the burgers. Ingredients 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided 3/4 cup chopped onion […]

Poaching the chicken in the broth adds savory depth.” (The broth is a lower-sodium adaptation of Nguyen’s original. […]
A generous side of fresh veggies makes hearty comfort food lighter. Super-succulent pork chops and roasted carrots are paired with vastly underrated cabbage to create a vibrant vegetable medley that is equal parts flavorful and nutritious. Aromatic caraway lends earthiness while apple jelly adds a sweet contrast to the finishing sauce. This meal is pretty enough […]
