4. Crockpot Beef Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb boneless chuck roast or beef stew meat — cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tsp kosher salt — divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3-4 c. low sodium beef broth — divided
- 1 small yellow onion — diced
- 2 cloves garlic — minced (about 2 tsp)
- 4 large carrots — peeled and finely chopped
- 2 Yukon gold potatoes — peeled and diced
- 2 parsnips — peeled and diced
- 2 ribs celery — diced
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 can tomato sauce (8 ounces)
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
- 1 c. peas — fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)
- Chopped fresh parsley — optional for serving
Directions:
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the beef and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Brown the beef on all sides, disturbing it as little as possible on each side so that it develops nice coloring. Once the beef is lightly browned (it won’t be all the way cooked through), remove it to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- To the pan, add the onion. Cook and stir until the onion is beginning to soften about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and let cook 30 seconds. Splash in about 1/2 cup the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits that have stuck to the bottom (this is flavor!). Let the broth reduce for 2 minutes, then transfer the entire mixture to the slow cooker.
- To the slow cooker, add the carrots, potatoes, parsnips, celery, diced tomatoes in their juices, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire, oregano, paprika, sugar, 2 1/2 cups beef broth, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the beef and vegetables are tender. Stir in the peas, just until warmed through. If the soup is thicker than you would like, add the remaining 1 cup beef broth until you reach your desired consistency. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley.

Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat as needed so that the onion softens but does not brown. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

6. Mexican Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients:
- 4 large bell peppers
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken — or turkey (I used chicken)
- 1 tsp ground chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes — with juices, 14 ounces
- 1 ½ c. cooked brown rice — quinoa or cauliflower rice
- 1 ¼ c. shredded cheese — Monterey Jack, pepper jack, cheddar, or similar cheese, divided
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Slice the bell peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove the seeds and membranes, then arrange cut side up in the prepared baking dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking apart the meat, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid, then pour in the can of diced tomatoes and their juices. Let simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the rice and ¾ cup of the shredded cheese. Mound the filling inside of the peppers, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Pour a bit of water into the pan with the peppers—just enough to barely cover the bottom of the pan. Bake uncovered for 25 to 35 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted. Top with any of your favorite fixings, and enjoy hot.

7. Zucchini Pizza Boats
Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchini
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 c. pizza sauce — or similarly prepared marinara sauce
- 1 ¼ c. shredded mozzarella cheese — or a blend of shredded mozzarella and provolone
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ - ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes — optional
- ¼ c. mini pepperoni — or mini turkey pepperoni or regular-size pepperoni, sliced into quarters
- 2 tsp freshly ground Parmesan
- 2 tsp chopped fresh basil, thyme, or other fresh herbs
Directions:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Halve each zucchini lengthwise. With a small spoon or melon baller, gently scrape out the center zucchini flesh and pulp, leaving a border of about 1/3 inch on all sides. Arrange the zucchini shells on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the insides of the zucchini with salt.
- Spoon the pizza sauce into each shell, dividing it evenly. You may need a little more or less, depending upon the size of your zucchini. Put a generous amount, but don't feel like you need to fill it all the way to the very top.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top, then evenly sprinkle with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using). Scatter on the pepperoni and any other desired toppings. Last, sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese, is hot and bubbly and the zucchini is tender. If desired, switch the oven to broil and cook the zucchini for 2 to 3 additional minutes, until the cheese is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil. Serve immediately.
