We’re getting a fresh start this year - With the New Issue of Recipe Lion Magazine [Food Gardening Network Preview]( December 19, 2022  [Start the Year Healthy with 33 Fresh Recipes]( We’re getting a fresh start this year – it just so happens to be extra tasty! [Magazine Issue 2022] RecipeLion Magazine is now included with a Food Gardening Network Gold Membership. Gain full access to this premium magazine—and an entire Library of food gardening advice—with a [Charter Gold Membership in Food Gardening Network!]( Dear Home Cook, You could say a new year is just a matter of turning over a page on the calendar. But that’s a lot more exciting when turning that page means a whole batch of fresh, healthy recipes! Who among us doesn’t want a good reason to expand our culinary horizons, educate our palette, and have some fun in the process? For those of us in cooler climates (or downright frigid, as the case may be), those low-digit temperatures encourage us to spend some time in the kitchen. There’s not much better on a cold day than warming our homes with the comforting aroma of cookies in the oven or the tantalizing allure of a savory stew simmering on the stovetop. And let’s be honest, a little respite after all those end-of-year feasts is much needed! With that in mind, we’re excited to bring you the January/February 2023 edition of RecipeLion Magazine! There are some lightened-up classics, a few twists on favorite recipes, and plenty of yumminess with healthy eating in mind. You’ll find filling salads made with whole grains, warming soups, mouth-watering family dinner recipes, and desserts. In fact, the desserts here prove that healthy food can also be delicious and fun! You could even argue that these desserts are breakfast-worthy! And really, what’s more fun than dessert for breakfast? [Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership—Just $10 for an Entire Year!

Smoothies, quiche, tarts, eggs, asparagus… it’s time for breakfast to be just as satisfying as dinner! Here are a few of the recipes in 8 Healthy Starts. - Easy Broccoli Quiche: This is the perfect recipe any time you have an abundance of fresh broccoli on hand. The prep time is minimal and it keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days, making it ideal for a quick breakfast or lunch. - Onion and Scallion Tart: This delicious breakfast or brunch recipe features plenty of salty Feta and Parmesan cheese, plus onions, scallions, and chives. And it smells absolutely heavenly while it’s in the oven! - Simply Soothing Melon Smoothie: This melon smoothie is a light, refreshing, and healthy way to start the day. Or enjoy it as an afternoon pick-me-up. [Winter Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing] When you’re busy at work, lunch can seem like something you need to hurry up with, and so we often grab a snack bar or run to the drive-thru or skip lunch altogether. In 8 Fresh & Easy Lunches, we’re making a vow to approach lunch with a little more appreciation. After all, a healthy lunch doesn’t take as much time to make as we might imagine. - Winter Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing: Winter days call for a little brightness, and this salad brings it. Sweet and tangy apple cider vinaigrette drizzled over crisp lettuce, crunchy apples, candied walnuts, and rich, creamy goat cheese – what’s not to love? - Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup: Is there anything that warms the soul more than a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup? I love this recipe because it’s a classic and because it goes in the slow cooker. Your chicken broth, large, juicy chicken chunks, onions, celery, carrots, parsley, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves simmer slowly for hours, making this soup a true delight for the senses.

Whether that means actual family or a couple of friends, I love the happiness that a good meal can provide. And in 11 Light & Hearty Family Meals, you’ll get a lovely selection of some favorites straight from the RecipeLion Magazine kitchen. - Greek Yogurt Chicken and Cremini Mushroom Rice Casserole: This casserole is now one of my favorite Greek recipes! The chicken is tender and juicy and the rice is cooked perfectly, but the real star of the dish is the yogurt sauce. It’s creamy and tangy, bringing all the flavors together. - Healthy Crab Mac ‘n’ Cheese: Mac ‘n’ cheese might be the ultimate in comfort food, and there are so many ways you can make it. Especially if you’re looking to add some additional nutritional value to your meal, this is one of the tastiest ways I’ve found to do that. - Healthy Ravioli with Walnuts: Warm up a winter day with this delightful ravioli recipe that takes advantage of the bright flavors of lemons, asparagus, and spinach. [Make-Ahead Flax Cookies] Of course, no menu would be complete without dessert! Yes, dessert can be cake and pie and ice cream, but there are so many other desserts that highlight the natural sweetness of fresh fruits or the fulfilling combination of nuts and grains. In 6 Cleaner-Eating Desserts, we’re sharing some of our favorites with you. - Make-Ahead Flax Cookies: If you ever wanted cookies for breakfast, but felt guilty about it, this is your recipe. These cookies have walnuts, rolled oats, wheat flour, flax meal, peanut butter, cherries, and cinnamon. That sounds like breakfast to me! - Fresh Fruit Ambrosia Salad: I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t Ambrosia Salad that 1970s dessert with lots of sugary canned fruit and whipped cream? Yes, but this is very different. We’re taking advantage of fresh fruit here for a lighter, healthier version that’s sure to have you wanting more. I hope you enjoy this issue of RecipeLion Magazine, and find plenty of time in the new year for cooking and enjoying the beauty of a good meal.
