Made with both sweet and red bliss potatoes, this dish is a beautiful blend of colors, tastes and textures. It's creamy, but not to heavy, and sweeter and less starchy than it would be with all white potatoes.

With important nutrients like protein, iron, potassium and fiber, this hearty, earthy soup is great for recharging and warming up after a winter workout.
Our home sits just within a "snow belt," so it's sometimes much snowier here than in towns just a few miles south of us. When the winter piles snow high against the door, this hearty and delicious soup can warm you from the inside out. -Meg

I've always preferred getting my nutrition from good food rather than supplements. Made with orange juice, this dense, warm polenta cake provides vitamin C. This version is made with yogurt instead of syrup, so it's lower in sugar and deliciously moist. -Meg
Bread-like but moist, this delicious oven pancake with oats makes a hearty breakfast, and it's easier to make than regular pancakes.
Here's macaroni and cheese the way we like it in the Hirshberg home: extra creamy and gooey, with pecorino and blue cheeses adding a bite. This version's also made with healthier whole-wheat pasta and about half the fat of most mac 'n' cheese dishes.
Our Banilla yogurt gives this pudding a taste that could make a person wonder why she ever made instant pudding from a box. Top it with whipped cream and grated nutmeg, and you've got perfect, made-from-scratch comfort food.
Refreshing and good. Cast away those thick, hearty soups of winter and enjoy this cool and creamy creation.
