📣6 Recipes to Make This Month

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Whether you're easing into the new year with a few better-for-you meals or just trying to survive a cold, gray January, I've got you covered. This time of year, I want food that feels cozy and comforting--but not heavy or complicated.

These are the recipes I'm reaching for this month when I want something warm, satisfying, and wholesome to boot:

Recipes to Make This Month

  • ​Light, Bright, and Ready in Under 30! Fish tacos feel like summer--even when the sun isn't shining! And thanks to the oven preparation, they are exceptionally easy to make.
  • ​Dump-and-Cook Comfort Food. Use lean beef, turkey, or chicken to whip up this Crockpot Chili. It is perfect for cold evenings, football games, and Sunday suppers.
  • ​Better Than Take-Out. This 15-minute stir fry comes together with shrimp (feel free to swap it out for chicken), veggies, of choice, and a crazy easy stir-fry sauce. It is fast, flavorful, and filled with fiber and protein.
  • ​Cheap, Light, and Unexpectedly Delicious. This is NOT the cabbage soup of your childhood! Even my picky eaters love this one (especially when served with no-knead bread!)
  • ​Cozy, Warming and SO Easy to Make. This breakfast literally cooks while you sleep! Yes, please and thank you!
  • ​No-Bake Satisfying Treat. The best way to ease off holiday sweets without feeling like you are depriving yourself. These bars are filled with whole grains, fiber, and you only need 3 ingredients to make!

Here's to a delicious, easy, cozy month!

Happy Cooking!

Kristen

Hi Reader, If you have been part of the A Mind "Full" Mom community for a while, you have basically watched my kids grow up right alongside the recipes. You have seen me pack school lunches, work around food allergies, feed some very picky eaters, and share more than a few stories from our kitchen. And somehow, one of those picky little eaters is turning 18 this week. EIGHTEEN. I am still trying to figure out how exactly that happened. So, in honor of Layla's birthday, I thought I would skip...

So I thought I would give you a starting point and share 5 things I am personally making this week. 5 Easy Recipes to Make This...
