I’m hooked on Buddha or grain bowls. I find them so satisfying physically and emotionally. You can’t go wrong with a balanced meal that’s loaded with toppings and flavor. You can make this your own with your favorite add ins. You could also do a different type of fish (perhaps local!) or chicken. I’m a big salmon fan. I typically buy the Publix Greenwise frozen wild sockeye salmon. Salmon is high in omega -3 fatty acids which are great for heart and brain health. Aim for consuming fish twice per week!

We all know where the local big box grocery stores are, but you might not be aware of a few of these markets and specialty stores!

I have compiled a list for you all to get out and explore what we have to offer. Or perhaps a few options to look for that one ingredient in that recipe you have been wanting to make!

This super simple yet satisfying yogurt dip barely needs a recipe. With only four ingredients, you’ll find yourself making this a staple in your household for both kids and adults.

Use Greek yogurt with the peanut butter for a high protein dip to pair with the fruits of your choice. I recommend strawberries, apples, bananas, pineapple, or grapes.

This recipe makes a larger quantity to bring to a party or have on hand to eat with fruit for the week. This is a great dip to place in the center of a fruit plate at a party!

Have you tried honeynut squash before? Honeynut is a winter squash varietal derived from butternut and buttercup. It’s sweeter and about half the size of the typical butternut squash. The peel is edible which saves a lot of time and work.

This would make an easy side for Thanksgiving! It’s easy enough to spice up a weeknight meal as well!

Are you looking for a plant-based entree for Thanksgiving? Look no further than this stuffed delicata squash with tofu! This dish is vegan and can also be served as a side if you like! If you can’t find delicata squash at the store, you could use another hard (winter) squash such as acorn, butternut, or honeynut as well!

Do you love apple pie and wish you could have it year round?

Well, that’s how I feel and led to the creation of this post. This is way easier than making apple pie. I never really understood the saying “easier as pie”. Whoever originally said that must have been using a pre-made pie crust.

You could certainly omit the brown sugar to make this healthier, but the whole idea is to simulate apple pie!

This make-ahead chia pudding hits the spot when you are needing a chocolate fix. The variations are endless here. My personal favorite is chocolate raspberry. This pudding is so versatile and can used as a dessert, snack, or breakfast. To save time, I recommend you set up three or four mason jars to make enough for the week!

Do you love oatmeal but don’t have the time to make it every morning? Enter baked oatmeal, a make-ahead oatmeal casserole option.

This is especially great for fall and alternative for those who are not on team pumpkin. I highly recommend adding a dollop of greek yogurt to make this a more filling, balanced meal with carbs + protein. You certainly don’t have to saute the apples beforehand, but this does impart another layer of flavor.

You could enjoy it like an Egg McMuffin or open faced like I have here with an egg muffin on each side.
