Ok yes, these oats are my obsession. These oats are my life. Sticky dates melt into perfectly chewy oatmeal that is seasoned with a touch of miso (fermented foods are good for you!) and everything is finished with a drizzle of olive oil. They are rich, they are sweet and they are so unbelievably good. It's the perfect way to start the day.

These beans might be plant-forward, garlic-forward, and delicious, but believe it or not, they were inspired by classic garlic bread. This recipe uses 100 garlic cloves (casual) but turns into something incredible. It's an easy, saucy recipe that's both filling and wholesome, and if you're into garlic, it will definitely leave you wanting more!

This rich, garlicky, umami stew is packed with sun-dried tomatoes, nutritious kale and deliciously chewy cavatelli pasta. It's comforting, it's easy to make, and it's a perfect aromatic soup to add to your winter recipe rotation.

A little less work than risotto, but still starchy, creamy and just a *bit* on the cheesy side, this Butternut Squash Orzo is a load of comfort. It's lightly spiced, filled with flavor and extra smooth, using a blend of three melty cheeses that are sure to make this the coziest, cheesiest dinner you make this week.

Herby Cabbage in Parmesan Broth - Justine Doiron

This lemony, mustardy salad is one of my favorite spring dinners to use to transition into warmer weather and lighter meals. It has all the makings of a full meal, with chickpeas for protein and rice for carbs, and the salad comes together in one bowl. It's quick, easy and nourishing, and exactly what I want to make as we emerge from the cold winter into sunnier days.

Brothy beans are a love language, and spicy brothy beans are absolutely everything you need and more. These Gochujang Brothy Beans rely heavily on Korean flavors, with some twists of fresh fall herbs and a cured egg yolk mixed in. It's fusion but in the best way possible.

Half brothy beans, half hearty vegetable stew - this soup is an easy to make, slightly spicy, highly comforting soup that truly is the whole meal.

These feta dumplings are deliciously light and tender, with rich salty feta holding together this easy dumpling dough. The sauce is a blend of dill, Fresno peppers and pine nuts, which sizzles down in minutes and perfectly coats these delicate little dumplings.

This cake uses both fresh pear and fresh ginger root, making it uniquely moist, flavorful, and one of my absolute favorite cakes to bake throughout the fall and holiday season. Add homemade caramel drizzle for a comforting dessert!
