Classic Comfort Food Made Healthy

Our simple, quick-cooking chicken pot pie gets a healthy makeover while still offering the homey comfort you crave this time of year. By simply swapping chicken stock for cream and topping the dish with our homemade, whole-wheat, sweet potato biscuits instead of puff or pie pastry, this lightened-up version hits all the notes of the classic.

Homemade pizza will always be better for the kids than take out, but this month's variation is a tasty surprise that swaps in a whole-wheat pita for the traditional bready crust, and includes a generous serving of fruit thanks to the addition of crisp apple slices.

Seductive Swedish meatballs are made with a partial serving of mushrooms in place of some of the beef for a lighter, veggie-infused dish that's just as delicious. Serve over noodles or brown rice for a meal worthy of a Saturday night with friends.

Warm up the family this month with our healthy chili, which includes three different varieties of beans, adding an extra boost of flavour, fibre and protein to your pot. We've also lightened up the meat portion of the recipe, opting to use turkey sausage in place of beef, a twist you're guaranteed to like.
