Try brightening up dishes with lemon, enhance recipes with herbs, and highlight veggies to put a spring in your step. Salads will be a fixture on my table this season. They are a great way to incorporate veggies into your diet as a side or main dish. Adding different textures and flavors will keep salad from being run of the mill. Toasted nuts, sunflower or pomegranate seeds add an unexpected crunch and a pop of flavor. What I also love about salads is that they can be made savory, sweet, or a mix of both!

A Sunday tradition for my brother-in-law Bobby is to make meatballs and gravy (red sauce) for my sister Cindy and their 5 sons. The gravy is started at 7am and then slow cooked until 1pm. While the gravy simmers, Bobby makes the meatballs. He blends a mixture of ground chuck/pork and then adds Romano cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bobby’s secret for keeping meatballs moist? One egg per pound of meat. After baking in the oven, the meatballs finish cooking in the homemade red sauce. Served on whatever pasta happens to be in the pantry that week, this satisfying meal is perfect fuel for the week ahead. Now that their sons are older, friends and girlfriends have become part of this tradition.

With the current chill in the air, I can’t think of another comfort food that warms you from within like chili. Similar to what I found while writing The Great Stuffing Debate, people are passionate about their chili. From beef to vegetarian, beans or no beans, there is a chili for everyone. In addition to being so versatile, chili is a great way to feed a large family. And with hectic schedules being the norm, this dish is perfect for leaving on the stove to feed your hungry crew as they arrive home at different times. Another option is to make slow cooker chili that can be easily put together before you leave for work (it can cook for up to 10 hours on low). When you arrive home from a long day, the enticing aroma will greet you at the door – add a salad and cornbread for a complete and satisfying meal.
