Which meals are the top ten favourites?

You might be curious to know your favourite dish if you do. It could be useful to be aware of your top ten options. After reading this, you'll be able to order more intelligently at your supper.

Pasta is a common ingredient on tables all across the world. Its attractiveness is due to both its flavour and nutritional benefits. It is rich in protein and fiber. It may be added to salads, blended into casseroles or soups, and sauced.

Additionally, it has less salt and no cholesterol. Pasta comes in hundreds of variations. The majority of them only require a few basic materials. Spaghetti, macaroni, penne, and fettuccine are the most often consumed types. Some are suitable for vegans, while others are gluten-free.

One of the most consumed foods worldwide is pizza. It is frequently utilized for gatherings, special events, and family feasts. It comes in various flavours and can be served as a main meal or a side dish. Typically, cheese, tomato sauce, and other items are added on top.

One of the simplest things to make is this. It is also among the best tasting. It has the ideal balance of cheese, crunch, and sauce.

Fries with cheese are a traditional American snack. Two kinds of melted cheese are presented with these crispy french fries. You may also include your preferred toppings.

They are a great option for a laid-back evening or game day. They may frequently be seen at fast food restaurants, barbecues, and diners. You may either buy frozen ones or create them from scratch.

You can take a few easy steps to make them if you want to try your hand at them. Once you have the necessary materials, you can quickly make a batch of cheese fries. If you want to do the more conventional route, you may fry them in oil. Once they have cooled, you may serve them with your preferred dipping sauce.

An effortless Mexican dish is cheesy queso dip. It's also fantastic for bringing to entertaining events like parties or athletic events.

You may serve it with pretzel pieces or tortilla chips. Toppings should be fresh to add more texture and colour. Consider adding salsa, sour cream, or tomato dice.

This dish may be prepared in a double boiler or a slow cooker. It may be frozen for up to three months or kept at room temperature for a few hours.

One of the most consumed foods in America is hamburgers. They are quick, practical, and fulfilling.

There are many options for burger restaurants, and a select number of them have mastered the art of gourmet burgers. If you want to sample some of the tastiest hamburgers, look here.

Since 1934, there has been a Steak 'n Shake restaurant chain. They are renowned for their flavorful and juicy hamburgers. Burgers are available on soft tortillas or buns. One of the most popular dishes at the restaurant is cheeseburger. Lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles are placed on top of the burger.

One of the most popular menu items at fast food establishments is chicken tenders. They are versatile recipes that are straightforward but tasty. Mix them, for instance, with romaine lettuce, grated cheese, shredded carrots, dried cranberries, and other ingredients. Even a side of french fries is OK to offer with them.

The flavour is the most important quality to seek in chicken tenders. The best ones taste clean and meaty and can be dipped.

The Greek Salad is one of the most well-known dishes in Greek cuisine. You may serve this quick and nutritious dish for lunch or supper.

The staple components of a Greek salad are tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and feta cheese. To suit various preferences, the formula is easily adaptable.

An actual Greek salad is prepared using the basic components and presented in a bowl. However, capers or kalamata olives can be used in place of the usual black or green olives.

Everyone may enjoy the tasty and adaptable dip known as hummus. It is a meal that is high in protein and helps control your insulin levels. It is a fantastic source of fiber as well.

A common ingredient in many Middle Eastern dishes is hummus. It is typically consumed as part of a multi-course dinner or as a mezze starter. It can be served with pita, carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, radishes, and other vegetables. Almost all supermarket shops sell hummus. You can make it at home as well.

Someone Sent Me A Video Of My Best Friend's Girlfriend by thegeneralg

Hey guys, I am not really sure who to talk to about this, but I am really worried about my best friend. I normally wouldn't be posting anything like this online, but I guess that means I am really scared for him. I just hope I can sort this thing out. So here is what happened.

My friend Kris has been dating this girl for about 8 months. He and I have known each other since we were both kids in grade school and have been best friends ever since. The dude is the kindest, smartest, and most generous person you would ever want to meet. He is devoted to family and would do anything for you if he needed it. He's the kind of guy you would call in an emergency just as easily as you would just to hang out. We all have that one person like Kris in our lives.

But sadly as you all probably know, these people also tend to attract the wrong sort of people. It is the craziest thing isn't it? I guess it is just one of those things, because ruthless people and just flat out psychos flock to him like a moth to a flame. When you think about it, its no so different from what a mouse is to a snake. Predators tend to look for what they consider to be an easy target. If I had a nickel for every lowlife who tried to take advantage of Kris, I'd be a millionaire.

Fortunately, Kris has an excellent support system and I bust my ass to make sure he doesn't get hurt too badly. Let me tell you, it hasn't been easy. He's been cheated on, had one girl attempt to steal his credit card, and even proposed to a girlfriend who took the ring, pawned it, and tried to run for it. Probably used the money to buy drugs for her and some loser she was fucking or something. It was a gorgeous ring too, gold with a sapphire stone. Kris told me he spent months trying to pick out just the right one. That shit broke my heart to hear, and Kris was devastated for months after. He told me how much he loved Jenna, the ring stealer. I felt so powerless as he just sobbed on his bed. I mean come on? What exactly do you say when your best friend gets scammed for a ring?

Nothing, that's what you say. Because your presence is what is required more than anything else at that moment. Quiet, reassuring, steady. They don't need you to talk, they need you to listen and care. When it comes to close friends, sometimes words just aren't needed. But Kris got over it and life went on. Or at least it did until recently.

Kris, bless him, never stops looking for the good in others and always bounces right back. No matter what has happened, he keeps opening his heart to whomever he dates. I gotta give him credit for that. Most of us aren't that open to dating prospects under the best of circumstances, much less after four horrifying relationships. To make matters more complicated, he is one of those who falls in love quickly and deeply. I used to tease him that he believes in love, Disney style.

His parents are still married after 38 years, and not only are they still married, but happily married at that. No matter how much time passes, anyone who knows them can see how much his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Burton, deeply love each other. While he has never once said it, I can tell Kris wants a love like his parents. Deep down, who doesn't?

Kris most recent girlfriends have been; the cheater, the wanna be con artist, the drug dealer, and the ring thief. Each of them was attractive enough, and while I didn't hate them, I certainly didn't like them either. I made sure to keep an eye on Kris to make sure nothing too terrible happened, and I am proud to say I kept him physically healthy and mentally sane. But this time, I just don't know.

Kris met his most recent girlfriend Natalie at a Lana Del Ray concert. Kris loves her music, and I dig it too. Since I had to be out of town that week, I couldn't have gone. I can't help but wonder if things might have been different had I gone with him. Right after he left the concert, Kris called me all excited, saying he had met this beautiful woman and he got her number. I just smiled to myself as he told me.

"Good for you man, that's great," was all I said. I thought it was good that he met someone new because maybe this one would be good for him. Or maybe that was all just wishful thinking on my part, I don't know. Either way I knew Kris. If he wanted to date someone, he was gonna date someone.

They texted steadily after meeting and went on their first date soon after, I believe it was Starbucks. The movies and then dinner dates followed suit. After virtually every date, Kris either called or texted me to say how amazing Natalie was and how he couldn't wait to see her again. He sent me her picture and I agreed that she was gorgeous; long brown hair and stunning green eyes. I was happy for him. I also had a faint shred of hope, because Kris seemed happier than he had been in a long time. It didn't last long.

Kris's parents were having a Memorial Day cookout and as usual, I was invited. His parents always threw the best parties, there was always delicious food and plenty of it. I don't think I will ever forget that moment. I was standing there eating a hamburger, cheesy potato casserole, and macaroni salad. It is always fascinating to see what people put on a burger. It's kind of like the dining equivalent to seeing what people have on their playlist. My usual combination is cheddar cheese, pickles, mayo, and lettuce.

"There he is!" I heard Kris call out to me. Turning around I saw him, and right by his side was Natalie. "Natalie, this is Toby," he said as she extended her hand to shake. It was a firm handshake. I couldn't help but notice that her nails were immaculately done.

"Nice to meet you," she greeted me with a smile.

"Likewise." I responded. She was just as attractive in person. We chatted briefly and I got to know her a little bit. She was originally from Florida before moving up to Chicago for college. She stayed up here after graduation and works in Investment Banking. Kris looked so smitten with her as she spoke. I couldn't help but feel happy as I saw it. Quite frankly, I didn't care if she was a stripper so long as Kris was happy, safe, and she made him proud.

When I got home later that evening, I couldn't help but feel relieved. I texted Kris saying how happy I was for him and that she seemed lovely. He was thrilled I thought that and I thought that was the end of it. That was until Kris' mom called me a few days later.

Mrs. Burton is the sweetest woman you'd ever want to meet, but you don't want to mess with her. Despite being 5'2, she knows how to lay down the law. Being a former prosecutor, she has a keen eye for people and can spot a troublemaker a mile away. Being as she treats me like her own son and I regard her as an honorary mom, I immediately went to her house when she asked me to visit. My heart sank when she did, because I knew exactly what it was about. Mrs. Burton had always been the first one of us to spot the troublemakers her son was dating and what was wrong with them. I had agreed with her every time.

Sitting down with her in the kitchen with a glass of iced tea, she looked troubled. No, not troubled. Afraid. I immediately felt my heart sink. I have literally NEVER seen her look afraid. I braced myself for what she had to say.

"What do you think of Natalie?" she asked. She was clutching her own glass of tea in front of her. I paused, taking great care in choosing my words.

"She's," I began. "Very different from the others. She actually has a career."

"Yes," she answered, being equally cautious when speaking. "She certainly is different from the others." Ok, now I was really starting to get nervous. Usually when Mrs. Burton had something to say, she would come right out and said it, particularly when it was related to Kris' welfare. "Do you like her?" I had been waiting for that question.

"Honestly, I don't know her well enough to say. I like that she seems different from the others. Plus Kris seems very happy."

"That's what makes me uneasy," she said quietly while fidgeting with her wedding ring.

"What's wrong?" I practically whispered. She took a deep breath before answering.

"Natalie. Something isn't right with her."

"What is it?"

"The others before her. I knew the instant I met them all they were no good. Not only that, I knew immediately what was wrong with them and what to do about it. Do you know why?"

"No,"

"Because they were amateurs. Almost amusingly bad liars. Like the one little witch, the credit card scammer. I knew the moment she kept asking about our stuff and how much it cost she was a thief." I had to laugh at that. Diana was a loudmouth alright.

"You got that right,"

"I learned something many years ago. Dumb criminals and bad liars, they are not the ones who keep you up at night. They are so incompetent they might as well arrest themselves. It's the ones who know what they are doing you should be afraid of. Natalie isn't an amateur." Suddenly, my body felt colder than the tea I was drinking.

"Go on," was all I was able to say.

"This one, she is trouble. Big trouble. You haven't spent much time with her have you?"

"No,"

"I am not surprised. That is no coincidence. You are a good man Toby. Always have been. All of Kris' previous girlfriends didn't like you and you knew it. Because you were always onto them like I was. But they were too stupid to know it themselves. All they knew was they didn't like you. Deep down they could sense why, but didn't have the mental ability to understand it. This one is different. She knows." She took a deep gulp of tea before continuing.

"Natalie is always perfect. I do not mean in her appearance, but she is perfect in that way as well. It's her manner. It's like watching a career politician trying to work a room. Always making sure to be chummy, friendly, but at the same time not offend anyone. Like they are always on. I feel the exact same way about interacting with her. It feels like less a human interaction than a prescripted routine. The conversation doesn't feel natural, open, and flowing. Instead I always get the sense that she's rehearsed it or done it before." She paused again for another sip of tea.

"Not to mention when anyone is coming to meet the parents of their significant other for the first time, they are always nervous. A small bit a nerves, perhaps, but nervous all the same. Even Kris' poor tastes in girlfriends had the decency to be nervous. Not this one. She was as calm as could be." I sat there in silence. I had been having my quiet doubts about Natalie for some time, but had no idea what to think. I had been seeing my best friend choose the wrong women for so long I wasn't sure whether to trust Natalie or not. Seeing Mrs. Burton tense like this drove the point home that I was not alone.

"What do I need to do?"

"The thing we should all do in a moment of difficulty. Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. First we need to assess what is going on. Quietly observe. A snake needs to be comfortable to stick its head out. The more comfortable it feels, the farther it will stick it's head out. But whatever you do, do not try to keep him away from her or anything like that, unless she physically harms him or something of course. You know how Kris can be."

"Ok," and with that the conversation was over. What more could there really be said? I drove back home with my mind racing. There is nothing worse than the feeling of wanting to do everything when there is really nothing you can do. Especially when it involves the well being of someone you care about. Every time something happens or they say something, you find yourself biting your tongue. No matter what happens you must keep it to yourself. It sucks. For a while, I was constantly waiting for something to happen. But there is one benefit to silence; it gives you a terrific vantage point. Being quiet allows you to focus on the events and people around you. Since you aren't focusing on yourself, it frees up your attention for other things.

I had suddenly noticed that Kris seemed way more subdued than I had ever seen him. He never complained or gave the slightest hint that anything was up, but he was definitely quieter than I had seen him in a long time. It wasn't just what he said that was quiet. It was his entire demeanor, his body language and attitude. Kris just seemed so subdued. Which was most definitely not a good sign. I called Mrs. Burton up and told her what I noticed. She agreed and in a somber tone she said something that haunts me even now.

"You know those relationships where someone complains about their significant other all day? Saying what a horrible person they are and all that? You never have to worry about those. Sure, keep an eye on them, but they are not the ones in relationships you have to worry about. The most serious cases of an abusive relationship are just like depression, drug abuse, or any other personal crisis. The most serious cases where the person desperately needs help are when the person involved never says a word to anyone about it." I felt my skin crawl as she spoke. It was one of the most insightful things I can ever remember anyone saying.

I don't know how I managed to keep calm and not say a word to Kris, but I did. When we spent time together, I noticed he began to talk about Natalie less and less. I took this as a good omen. Maybe she would be gone sooner rather than later.

That hope promptly vanished three days ago. I had just woken up from a nap when I got a frantic call from Mrs. Burton.

"Toby, its me. Kris is in the hospital." I felt my entire body tense up as soon as she finished saying the last word.

"What happened?" I heard myself say.

"According to Natalie, she and him were just leaving a basketball game when a guy started following them. Kris could tell the guy was bad news, so they tried to get out of there ASAP. But he caught up to them and there was a fight. A quick, but nasty one. Kris managed to fight the guy off, but got a nasty concussion and other injuries in the fight. He's unconscious now, but according to the Doctor, Kris will be just fine."

"That's good to hear," I stood there for a full minute before I asked the question that my mind had practically been screaming me. "Do you believe what she says?" Mrs. Burton's silence was deafening. It was only a minute or so before she answered me, but it felt like an eternity.

"Something happened to my son, we know that. I just don't believe it happened like she says. She is the only witness and if this guy was some piece of shit like she says, why the hell didn't he do anything to her? When I got to the hospital she looked fine. A little disheveled and all that, but she was in fine shape." My hand balled itself into a fist at this.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Just keep being there for your friend. He leans on you more than you will ever know. Go see him when you can and keep your eye on the ball." I could do that.

"Sure,"

"And be careful," she added in a whisper. I had never heard her speak in a voice like that. She seemed genuinely afraid. "I don't know what happened, but I sure know something isn't right and that girl is up to something. Something bad."

"I will, you be careful too," I added and I hung up the phone. Sitting at my kitchen table, I didn't know what to think. All of this was insane. Remembering that I needed to send an email, I opened my laptop and logged in. Scanning my inbox, I saw a few notifications regarding work and a new Facebook friend request. I typed up the email and hit send. It felt good to be able to do something as routine as writing an email after getting bad news. I was just about to log out when I saw it. The email was from a user I didn't recognize. But it was the title that got my attention.

"Kris and Natalie's Real Night," in said in big bold letters. I felt my spine freeze up as I read it. According to the time, it had been sent at 3:42 am this morning. This had to be some obnoxious troll. An obnoxious troll who had sent an attachment. Probably spamware or something. I ran a quick security check and it came up safe to open. After staring at it and debating with myself for a full five minutes, I clicked on it.

It was one of those gritty security camera feeds. I could see the time and on the lower right hand side of the screen. 11:13 pm on May 17. Meaning it was from just last night. On the far left of the screen, I saw Kris and Natalie walking to their car. There was no sound, but I could see everything.

Out of nowhere, I saw some guy sneak up behind Kris when he was opening the door to the driver side of the car. His hoodie concealed his face but I saw him take Kris by surprise. In an instant, there was a flurry of movement. Kris tried to protect himself, but the guy had him cornered. I saw whoever was in the hoodie take a knife out of his pocket and lunge at Kris. Kris managed to dodge it, but what I saw next made me sick.

Natalie came from behind and held something up to Kris' mouth. It looked like a scarf or something. He thrashed around for a few moments before going limp. Seeing my best friend lie there helpless on the parking garage floor was the single most horrific thing I have ever seen. Natalie and the assailant looked at Kris for a moment before exchanging a nod. The assailant then turned around and walked away like it was the most routine thing imaginable. I felt my heart thud in my chest. That's when I saw the most terrifying part of the whole thing.

Natalie's expression. She was faintly smiling, not manically like some mental patient. Like someone who had just been faintly amused and was in a pleasant mood. I immediately grabbed the phone and called Kris' mom and told her what happened. She was stunned, but I forwarded her the email so she could see for herself. Even after she saw it, Mrs. Burton was speechless. I couldn't blame her. It's not everyday you see something like that. I immediately called the police and told them what happened and gave them the email too. They immediately looked for the guy in the hoodie and went after Natalie.

Well, it turns out that when the police went to Natalie's office, they found out pretty quick that there is no Natalie who works there. They are currently still looking for her, but I hope that the security footage is the last I ever see of her. There is one question none of us have been able to answer yet. What exactly happened between Kris and Natalie before the attack that made Kris so quiet?

One thing that really grosses me out is stuff that is sweet when it’s not supposed to be sweet. Meat in sweet sauce? Gross. Macaroni and cheese with sweet stuff? Gross. Savory casserole made with sweet biscuits? Gross. Caramelized onions on a hamburger? Gross. Pizza with sweet sauce? Gross. Fish with sweet relish? Gross. Barbecue? Gross. And I adore sweets soooo much. But that’s because they’re supposed to be sweet. Eating something that should be savory and it being sweet makes me gag badly. It’s terrible and so incredibly wrong. D: (Probably the one exception I have is sugar-cured ham.) I say this now, because my parents (such great parents) brought me home mac and cheese with chicken tenders on top! Yummy! But... When I started eating it, the chicken had a weird sweet sauce and the sauce leaked into the macaroni and cheese and the whole thing was inedible. Apparently, I looked at the menu, and it was “honey pepper sauce”. My parents said that they must have overlook that on the menu, and I don’t blame them. But. Why??? Those things are supposed to be savory and salty and cheesy and delicious. Not... Weirdly disconcertingly grossly sweet... >_< That said, I do like things which are sweet with some salty taste. Chocolate covered pretzels or chips, sea salt caramel, cookie dough, french fries dipped in milkshake, peanut butter and jelly, Reece’s Cups, sausage or bacon with some syrup, etc. are all really good. But it’s different. Because that’s for the most part salty not savory and the flavor is expected. It’s actually been proven that some salty taste can boost the sweet and make the flavor deeper and richer, so that’s really entirely a different thing.

This is another recipe that’s perfect for getting the kids involved — pile all the fixings in the middle of the table and let them build their own festive fajita.

Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf

Bacon cheeseburger meatloaf!

We packed all of the flavors of a great American burger into this family-friendly recipe that only takes 15 minutes to prep before you pop it in the oven.

Burgers With Roasted Garlic and Rosemary

Ditch the plain ground beef burgers and up your meat game.

Roasted garlic and fresh rosemary make these burgers extra flavorful. Adding grated zucchini to the lean ground beef helps keep the burgers moist and it’s an inexpensive way to add bulk.

It’s almost undetectable, so it’s also a clever way to sneak extra veggies into everyone’s diet!

Kid-Friendly Mac-and-Cheese and Sandwich Recipes

Macaroni and Cheese With Broccoli

Mac-and-cheese is the ultimate kid-friendly recipe. It’s also a perfect vehicle to sneak/introduce more vegetables into your kids’ bellies.

This mac-and-cheese recipe includes broccoli, but you can sub in any other veggies, like green beans, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus.

Sharp cheddar cheese and almond milk make a creamy cheese sauce with just the right amount of gooey goodness.

Get the recipe.

Three-Cheese Macaroni Casserole

Pop quiz: What’s better than macaroni and cheese?

Answer: Macaroni with THREE cheeses, of course.

Ricotta cheese adds creaminess, while mozzarella creates those long strands of melty cheese that stretch as you lift each bite to your mouth. Parmesan cheese gives it depth of flavor.

Bonus: There’s a hefty serving of vegetables nestled in all that melted cheese — red and yellow peppers and broccoli.

Get the recipe.

Butternut Squash Mac-and-Cheese

This variation of mac-and-cheese includes two types of extra flavorful cheeses and brightly colored vegetables.

Sharp cheddar cheese and Gruyere blend with a silky butternut squash puree to create an intensely flavorful sauce.

We added peppers, onions, and a sprinkling of parsley to make the dish even more tasty and nutritious!

This mac-and-cheese recipe makes 10 servings, so it can feed a hungry family or make several servings for healthy meal prep.

Get the recipe.

How to Make a Healthier Mac-and-Cheese

If you prefer to go freestyle or you’re just looking to upgrade your own favorite recipe, there are easy ways to make your own healthy mac-and-cheese recipe.

The key is not to completely re-do the beauty that is mac-and-cheese. Instead, swap out some of the cheese, milk, and butter for clever substitutions and additions.

Grilled Cheese With Spinach and Provolone

Grilled cheese? Yes, please!

Everyone can enjoy this melted cheese sammie while sticking to healthy nutrition goals. This crunchy, cheesy grilled cheese sandwich is packed with colorful sautéed veggies and Provolone cheese.

A touch of Dijon mustard is the special ingredient that really pumps up the flavor.

Get the recipe.

Turkey, Cranberry, and Brie Sandwich

With this sandwich, Thanksgiving doesn’t just have to happen once a year. In just a few minutes, you can enjoy a taste of those Thanksgiving flavors whether it’s November or July.

Get the recipe.

Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese With Arugula and Roasted Red Peppers

Think you can’t enjoy grilled cheese and eat healthy? Think again.

The secret, besides making sure it’s not overloaded with cheese, is using flavorful ingredients that offer the most bang for calories.

Our yummy grilled cheese recipe features smoked gouda, a bold cheese, so you can use less and still enjoy the cheesy goodness.

A light spreading of Dijon mustard, roasted red peppers, and peppery arugula make this a grilled cheese sandwich everyone in your family will love.

Get the recipe.

How to Build a Healthy Sandwich Like a Boss

The art of sandwich making requires more than just throwing meat and lettuce between two slices of bread.

Sandwiches are all about building flavors and textures, and while there are endless ways to do it wrong (too much meat, too little cheese, soggy bread, not enough spread), there’s no single way to do it right, either.

We consulted a couple of sandwich experts to see how to build a healthy and flavorful satisfying sammie from the bread up.

Find out how.

Kid-Friendly Pasta and Pizza Recipes

Healthier Fettuccine Alfredo

Every kids’ menu features some variation of noodles with a cream sauce. And with good reason: Sometimes, there’s nothing more comforting or delicious than a plate of creamy noodles.

But traditional fettuccine Alfredo recipes call for butter, cheese, cream, and more butter. Needless to say, it’s not exactly the healthiest pasta recipe.

The good news is that we figured out a way to get all the flavor without all the cream and butter with a secret (healthy!) ingredient.

Get the recipe and find out what it is!

Skinny Beef Stroganoff

This beef Stroganoff recipe has the same savory flavor of the original but with significantly less fat and calories, thanks to simple swaps.

Extra-lean sirloin beef and whole-wheat egg noodles form the base of this satisfying dish, with a creamy sauce made from beef stock and reduced-fat Greek yogurt.

A sprinkling of fresh parsley adds a pop of color, fresh fragrance, and elevates the dish.

Get the recipe.

Baked Ziti With Summer Vegetables

Pasta casseroles are one of the best go-to dishes for easy weeknight meals.

We used tomatoes, summer squash, and zucchini in this hearty baked ziti casserole, but feel free to get creative and swap in your family’s favorite vegetables.

This will, of course, adjust the nutritional content a little bit, but if you want to add more (or different) veggies, we won’t say no!

Get the recipe.

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

When you think of lasagna, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? We’d bet it has something to do with cheese, more cheese, and savory tomato sauce.

With this lasagna recipe, we’ve focused on the good stuff, which means you’ll still get plenty of sauce and cheese.

But instead of pasta noodles, you’ll load up on spaghetti squash instead. Spaghetti squash is a fiber-rich, lower-carb alternative to pasta.

Ditching the noodles saves on calories and makes room for plenty of cheese. In the oven, the spaghetti squash noodles absorb the tomato and cheesy goodness for a kid-approved, lip-smacking dish!

Get the recipe.

Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs

There’s nothing better than coming home to a delicious dinner that’s been slowly cooking all day.

Just throw all the ingredients into a slow cooker in the morning, set the timer, and you’ll have a warm, hearty meal ready when you come home.

These slow cooker turkey meatballs are incredibly versatile — spoon them onto zucchini noodles or whole-grain spaghetti, or tuck a couple into a pita pocket with a slice of mozzarella cheese.

Pro tip: In a rush? You can make this recipe in an Instant Pot — check out the instructions in the Recipe Notes!

Get the recipe.

BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza

Pizza for dinner is a sure-fire winner 100-percent of the time. And 50-percent of that winning is getting to make your own at home.

Get your little Top Chefs to help you out by giving them topping duty. It’s a fun way to spend time together — and keeps those little hands busy!

Get the recipe.

Margherita Pizza

This simple pizza recipe relies on quality ingredients to highlight the flavors.

We stick to the classic ingredients of tomato, mozzarella, and basil, but we replace the white flour dough in favor of whole-wheat pizza dough.

If you want to take your pizza to the next level, make your own whole-wheat dough — find out how.

Get the recipe.

Pita Pizza

Every parent knows that when little tummies are a’rumblin, you don’t have much time before it all ends in tears.

The solution: Pita pizzas that are ready in less than 20 minutes.

These cute pita pizzas feature mozzarella cheese, crunchy bell peppers, and onion, but you can sub in different vegetables like artichoke hearts, broccoli, or cauliflower for a quick, healthy meal.

Get the recipe.

Kid-Friendly Chili and Soup Recipes

Easy Turkey Chili

This turkey Chili recipe is a “stick-to-your-ribs” kind of meal.

Extra-lean ground turkey packs in the protein and bite-sized chunks of sweet potatoes are a delicious, fiber-filled alternative to beans.

For an added bit of fun at the dinner table, prepare extra toppings for your family to add on top of their individual bowls.

Get the recipe.

Slow Cooker Beef Chili

This beef chili recipe is everything a busy family can hope for: Some chopping and sautéing, and then pop everything into a slow cooker.

In a slow cooker, the meat becomes fall-apart tender and develops a deep and satisfying flavor. To save even more time, you can double the recipe and freeze the rest for a future weeknight win.

Get the recipe.

Chicken Noodle Soup

This easy chicken noodle soup recipe takes less than 15 minutes to prep and is ready in under an hour. To make your life even easier, use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken breast.

Pro tip: If you aren’t going to serve all of the soup immediately, store the soup and pasta separately or the pasta will swell and absorb the liquid from the soup.

Get the recipe.

“Fun Food”

Jack-o’-Lantern Stuffed Peppers

For kids, it’s all about presentation: You can get even the pickiest eaters to chow down if you make something that’s delicious and fun to look at.

These cute little jack-o’-lanterns are filled with a fiesta-inspired mix of spices, ground turkey, and black beans.

Once your filling is prepared, simply stuff it inside your carved peppers and pop them in the oven. A sprinkling of cheese brings this dish together.

Pro tip: You can make these stuffed peppers vegan by swapping the filling with this Quinoa Stuffing.

Get the recipe.

Mexican Chicken Zucchini Boats

These fun “boats” are a healthier spin on chicken burritos, swapping in nutritious zucchini for flour tortillas.

You can cook the chicken however you choose, but for tender, succulent chicken, check out this no-fuss cooking guide for baked chicken breasts.

There’s a boatload of good stuff in this dish: protein, vitamins, and minerals from the spices (cumin, paprika, and chili powder), and lycopene from tomato sauce and tomato paste.

And of course, everything just tastes better with melted cheese on top.

Plus, these boats can actually travel: Pop leftovers in a container and you’ve got a fast, easy lunch to bring to work.

Get the recipe.

Barbecue Spaghetti Squash Sliders

Sliders are the perfect food for little hands. This recipe for barbecue spaghetti squash sliders is fun for kids to eat and a useful tool for parents trying to get their kids to eat more vegetables.

Spaghetti squash soaks up the flavors of barbecue sauce and spices like cumin and paprika. The combination of flavors and textures creates a convincing, plant-based version of pulled pork.

Pile your saucy squash on whole-grain dinner rolls and top them with a tangy, fresh cabbage slaw and sliced pickles.

Get the recipe.

Philly Cheese Steak Sliders

If your kids aren’t quite ready for squash sliders, try these Philly Cheese Steak sliders instead.

We upgraded the traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fresh veggies, lean sirloin steak, and whole-wheat rolls for authentic flavor without all the fat and calories.

Get the recipe.

Kid-Friendly Sides and Snacks

Broccoli Tots

These fun broccoli tots make a great bite-sized snack or side dish for kids and adults.

Instead of deep-frying, these tots get their crispy-crunchy golden-brown crust in the oven. They’re chock-full of broccoli, green onion, and cheddar cheese — getting your greens in never tasted so yummy.

Pro tip: Refrigerate the mixture briefly (15–30 minutes) to help it firm up and make the shaping process easier.

Get the recipe.

Sweet Potato Latkes

Latkes are delicious, but most recipes call for lots of oil and sour cream. We used sweet potatoes to create a healthier version of a traditional favorite.

(Love cauliflower? Try these Baked Cauliflower Latkes.)

Serve these as a healthy side dish with chicken or fish, or top them with a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce as a snack.

Get the recipe.

Kale Chips

The next time your kids are clamoring for something crunchy, instead of store-bought chips, try these kale chips instead.

OK, OK, so it will probably take few tries to convince them that these are better than regular potato chips, but this recipe will help your case.

The secret to getting crispy chips is to make sure the kale is as dry as possible after washing; too much moisture means you’ll end up with steamed “chips.”

This recipe calls for no-salt seasoning, but you can get creative with your toppings — a sprinkle of nutritional yeast adds cheese-like flavor and spices like garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder provide a little kick.

Get the recipe.

Roasted Rainbow Carrots With Maple Glaze

You can’t go wrong with glazed vegetables. It’s a surprisingly simple way to start with plain vegetables and transform them into something magical.

The vegetables stay crisp, yet tender; and the just-sweet glaze makes you want to take another bite (and another, and another).

The pure maple syrup adds natural sweetness, and rich balsamic vinegar adds the perfect amount of zing.

Get the recipe.

Zucchini Fries

These zucchini fries are a clever way to wean your kids off of greasy, fried French fries.

Cornmeal creates a deliciously crunchy coating for these healthy baked veggie fries. It’s the perfect snack or side for roasted garlic and rosemary burgers.

Get the recipe.

Maple Chai-Roasted Chickpeas

This is a snack recipe that you need in your life, immediately. They’re so easy to make and incredibly flavorful.

Once your kids get a load of these gorgeous, crunchy little orbs of yum, they’ll never ask for processed store-bought treats ever again. (Or you know, not as often.)

These roasted chickpeas feature a unique combination of sweet and savory flavors — cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves.

A spoonful of maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness that complements the savory elements of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Get the recipe.

Daily Sunshine

If you’re short on time, on the go, or your kids just need a quick snack to tide them over, Daily Sunshine can be a life-saver.

It comes in kid-friendly Chocolate and Strawberry Banana flavors, so even the pickiest palate will be satisfied.

For snack emergencies, just add water, shake, and drink.

For when you have a wee bit more time, we created 7 Daily Sunshine recipes that cover all the snack bases, like Nutty Butter Chocolate Balls, a Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly Smoothie, and Nutty Chocolate Coconut Squares.

It’s that time of the year when everyone’s made some kind of New Year’s resolution, and for a lot of people that means trying to eat better. That’s all well and good—I would never begrudge someone for trying to be healthier—but if you’re going to spend most of your time eating kale and chia seeds then I think you deserve a treat once in a while. Pulled pork jalapeño poppers, fried chicken, and mac and cheese shouldn’t be everyday foods, but sometimes you need to indulge. If you’re going to break your resolution, we’ve got 22 fatty anti-resolution recipes to make sure you do it right.

Greasy, Gooey Snacks

Detroit-Style Pan Pizza

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

Long-beloved in Michigan, Detroit-style pizza has started to go national in recent years. It’s made with a thick, chewy crust; tons of creamy Brick cheese; and a sweet tomato sauce (in that order). Pepperoni is a classic addition, with some restaurants layering it on top to get crispy and others putting it under the cheese and sauce so that the fat seeps into the crust. Since we’re going big right now, we put it on top and bottom.

Pulled Pork Jalapeño Poppers With Raspberry Sauce

[Photograph: Morgan Eisenberg]

I love jalapeño poppers, but if we’re really going to be starting the New Year off right, we’re going to need something a little more epic. These smokey poppers are stuffed with pulled pork and wrapped in bacon. We don’t deep-fry them, but given all the pork I’d say they’re still a far cry for health food.

Get the recipe for Pulled Pork Jalapeño Poppers With Raspberry Sauce »

Cornbread-Coated Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese Wedges

[Photograph: Morgan Eisenberg]

Regular old deep fried mac and cheese wedges don’t go far enough, either. We bring back the pulled pork in this recipe, layering it with the mac, coating it all in a cornbread batter, and frying until golden brown. Freezing the macaroni and pork is key to not making too much of a mess when it’s time to batter and fry.

Get the recipe for Cornbread-Coated Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese Wedges »

Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos) With Cheese Sauce, Charred Tomato Salsa, Chorizo, and Pickled Jalapeños

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

Our Ultimate Fully Loaded Nachos are already a gut-buster, but if you think tortilla chips are too boring then try using crispy tater tots instead. Our totchos aren’t just heavy, though, they’re also delicious, thanks to high-quality toppings like homemade charred-tomato salsa and cheese sauce, crisp chorizo, and fresh vegetables.

Get the recipe for Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos) With Cheese Sauce, Charred Tomato Salsa, Chorizo, and Pickled Jalapeños »

Pommes Aligot

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

Rich and fatty doesn’t have to mean junk food. Pommes aligot is a dish from south-central France that takes mashed potatoes and makes them more intense than you would have ever thought possible. That means using the standard cream and butter, but also melting in more than half a pound of Alpine cheeses (we like a mix of Swiss and Gruyère). You also want to overwork the potatoes to release extra starch, which in combination with the cheese makes for incredibly gooey results.

Get the recipe for Pommes Aligot »

Burgers and Sandwiches

Spinach and Artichoke Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

We have no shortage of grilled cheese recipes, but right now one of my favorites is this version that mashes up the sandwich with spinach-artichoke dip. We start with a simple dip made by sautéing onion, frozen spinach, and canned artichoke hearts and mixing with homemade mayo, then pair with creamy Drunken Goat cheese (Havarti is also a solid choice).

Get the recipe for Spinach and Artichoke Grilled Cheese Sandwiches »

Cuban Sandwiches

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

We make our Cuban sandwiches with three different kinds of pork: sweet ham, savory roast pork, and funky Genoa salami. That last ingredient might upset some Miami readers, but it’s a classic part of a Tampa-style Cuban. We pair the pork with Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread and cook it in a sandwich press or under a heavy skillet until all the ingredients meld together.

Get the recipe for Cuban Sandwiches »

Rich and Creamy Croque Madames

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

The croque madame starts just like a croque monsieur: toasted brioche, ham, grated cheese, and Mornay sauce. Layered together and broiled you already have a serious brunch, but to take it one step further and turn it into a croque madame, top each sandwich with a runny fried egg before serving.

Get the recipe for Rich and Creamy Croque Madames »

The McWhopper

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

A fast food hamburger definitely doesn’t fit with health-conscious New Year’s resolutions, and our homemade Big Mac and Whopper recipes will both help you start the year off on a gluttonous note. Can’t decide which you want to make? Just split the difference by combining the flame-broiled Whopper patty with our reverse-engineered Big Mac sauce and both fresh and dehydrated onions.

Get the recipe for The McWhopper »

The Double Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt

[Photograph: Robyn Lee]

Cardiologists, look away now. This burger takes decadence to a whole new level—not only do we use two quarter-pound patties and four slices of bacon, but to throw all sense of restraint out the window we replace the buns with three grilled cheese sandwiches. Make one of these in the next few days and you might not need to eat again for the rest of the month.

Get the recipe for The Double Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt »

Ultra-Smashed Brunch Burgers With Quick Jalapeño Hollandaise

[Photograph: Morgan Eisenberg]

Looking for a monster burger that you can feel okay about eating for breakfast? This brunch-friendly option tops crispy-edged smashed patties with oven-cooked bacon, fried eggs, avocado, and a spicy jalapeño Hollandaise. Toasted English muffins keep the breakfast theme going and soak up the runny yolk and sauce.

Get the recipe for Ultra-Smashed Brunch Burgers With Quick Jalapeño Hollandaise »

Meaty Mains

Ultra-Crispy Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

Pork shoulder is one of my top picks for a winter dinner party—it’s decadent, affordable, and super easy. All you have to do is season with salt and pepper, roast in a low oven until the meat practically starts to fall apart, then max out the oven temperature to crisp up the skin.

Get the recipe for Ultra-Crispy Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder »

The Food Lab’s Southern Fried Chicken

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

The perfect fried chicken should have super moist meat and an extra-crunchy crust. We accomplish this by brining the chicken in buttermilk (which both tenderizes and seasons it) and mixing some brine into the flour coating to add surface area to the crust. We use a two-stage cooking technique—frying then baking—to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.

Get the recipe for The Food Lab’s Southern Fried Chicken »

The Best Chicken Parmesan

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

We borrow the buttermilk brine and breading technique from our fried chicken to make chicken Parmesan, but give it a distinctly Italian-American flavor by adding Parmesan to the breading and serving the chicken with a slow-cooked red sauce, cubes of mozzarella, and more grated Parmesan. You can eat the chicken as is, but it’s even better on a party-sized sandwich.

Get the recipe for The Best Chicken Parmesan »

Traditional French Cassoulet

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

Like pommes aligot, cassoulet is a French classic that proves that hearty, indulgent food doesn’t have to be junky. This super-filling stew is packed with poultry, sausage, pork, and beans—just what you need on a cold day. Cassoulet is typically made with duck, but we find that using chicken with a little duck fat gives you similar flavor for less money.

Get the recipe for Traditional French Cassoulet »

Cheesy Pastas and Casseroles

Tater Tot Casserole

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

If you’re from certain parts of the Midwest, Tater Tot hotdish probably has a special place in your heart. It’s typically made with ground beef, canned or frozen vegetables, condensed soup, and frozen tater tots. We upgrade our version by replacing the condensed soup with a mushroom béchamel, but keep the frozen tots because it’s hard to outdo Ore-Ida.

Get the recipe for Tater Tot Casserole »

The Best Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

Both creamy and satisfying and a little more sophisticated than the typical enchilada casserole, this dish is made with a simple charred poblano salsa, simmered chicken, pepper jack cheese, and Mexican crema. Even though we don’t go too heavy on the cheese, this is still a rib-sticking dish.

Get the recipe for The Best Creamy Chicken Enchiladas »

French Onion Strata

[Photograph: Emily and Matt Clifton]

The name strata sounds fancy, but at its heart it’s just a savory bread pudding. This hearty strata gets the flavors of a bowl of French onion soup from caramelized onions and grated Gruyère. To speed up the recipe we use quick-caramelized onions with a little sugar added—the flavor isn’t quite the same as slow-caramelized onions, but you can get most of the way there in significantly less time.

Get the recipe for French Onion Strata »

The Food Lab’s Ultra-Gooey Stovetop Mac and Cheese

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

This mac and cheese is better than the blue box and not much more work to make—you just need a mixture of melting cheeses, a few thickeners and binders (cornstarch, evaporated milk, and eggs), and hot sauce. It all comes together in 15 minutes, but if that sounds like too much work, then check out our three-ingredient recipe, which is even easier than boxed macaroni.

Get the recipe for The Food Lab’s Ultra-Gooey Stovetop Mac and Cheese »

Crispy Baked Pasta With Mushrooms, Sausage, and Parmesan Cream Sauce

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

This comforting baked pasta is a little more time- and labor-intensive than mac and cheese, but it still only takes about half an hour. Mushrooms sautéed in rendered sausage fat add flavor and a meaty bite, soy sauce and lemon juice make the dish super savory, and a cheesy cream sauce brings the richness. Top with a layer of breadcrumbs for a crunchy finish.

Get the recipe for Crispy Baked Pasta With Mushrooms, Sausage, and Parmesan Cream Sauce »

American Chop Suey (Macaroni, Beef, and Cheese Skillet Casserole)

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

This casserole has a variety of names across the country—where I grew up in Indiana we called it chili mac—but by any name it’s a delicious piece of Americana. The dish is always made with pasta, ground beef, tomato sauce, and cheese—our recipe adds green peppers, onions, and a couple tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce (a classic addition in New England).

Get the recipe for American Chop Suey (Macaroni, Beef, and Cheese Skillet Casserole) »

Baked Ziti With Two Mozzarellas and Parmesan Cream Sauce

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

At its best, baked ziti should be rich and creamy, but all too often low-quality supermarket ricotta makes it bland and grainy. It’s a little easier than it used to be to find good ricotta, but we still get rid of it altogether and use a Parmesan cream sauce instead, plus low-moisture mozzarella mixed in with the pasta and fresh mozzarella melted on top.

Get the recipe for Baked Ziti With Two Mozzarellas and Parmesan Cream Sauce »

Lose Weight Without Starving: 80 Weight Watchers Recipes (With Points!)

For the last couple of months, I have actually been taking part in an on the internet nourishment program with a couple of various other gals, and I have actually been enjoying it. The teacher sends a brand-new routine at the beginning of each week as well as then opens a dialogue with the team members by means of an exclusive Facebook group, where we discuss the various strategies and also techniques she's given us with. It's a really casual team, and also despite the fact that I've never really met any of the various other females personally, we've created an excellent bond as we urge each other in our individual weight reduction, health, and fitness goals.

One woman particularly has been really helpful to everyone in the team. Mary is an older female with many remarkable stories she suches as to discuss, as well as though we frequently joke regarding just how brutally honest she is when she takes among us to job, she has a present for encouraging individuals to look deep within themselves and also change their lives right, and also she does it the most honest and non-judgemental way.

It's fabulous.

I've discovered a lot from Mary in such a short time, and also her fat burning tale has truly motivated me. She was very obese for a lot of her grown-up life, in spite of attempting every solitary crash diet on the market, and also while she commonly saw short-term outcomes, she constantly placed the weight back on within a number of months.

And sometimes she placed on EVEN MORE weight.

But after that eventually her little girl tested her to attempt the Weight Watchers diet with her, as well as the rest, as Mary spokens, is history.

To day, she's shed over 80 pounds, and also when I asked her why this diet regimen has functioned a lot far better than all of the other ones she's tried throughout the years, she said it's since she still has the flexibility to eat so many of the foods she enjoys, so she never ever really feels as though she's missing out on out.

So, as a thanks to Mary and all of the assistance she has supplied me and also my gals over the last couple of months, I made a decision to collect with each other as lots of Weight Watchers recipes as I could possibly find.

This collection of Weight Watchers recipes with factors has every little thing you require to adhere to your day-to-day allocation without sensation as though you're losing out. It's full of wonderful morning meal recipes to kickstart your day, treat recipes to maintain your energy levels up throughout the afternoon depression, family-friendly dinner dishes that are very easy to whip together, as well as several of the most delicious treat recipes I've ever before laid my eyes on.
