Here you will find simple recipes built around whole foods, with notes on protein, fiber and added sugar. Many fit blood sugar friendly or heart healthy eating.

If you follow a medical diet for diabetes, kidney disease or food allergies, check recipes with your doctor or dietitian.

What makes a recipe healthy for everyday meals?

A healthy everyday recipe usually includes vegetables or fruit, a source of protein, and whole grains, with less added sugar, salt, and saturated fat. Cooking methods such as baking, grilling, and steaming help. Portion size matters too. Our recipes aim to be simple and use ingredients found in most US grocery stores.
