Comfort Food with a Comforting Health Rating

There’s something about rich, "fatty", aromatic food that can really feed the soul.

Too bad often times you end up feeling pretty gross right after eating it - whether that guilt comes in the emotional or physical variety.

One of my favourite hacks to use Meal Garden for is editing the “comfort food” recipes I have in my cookbook and with enough tweaking - creating meals I can proudly share and still have healthy foodies on my side #CleanEating.

This week, in preparation for our soon-to-launch sharing features, I’m sharing my all-time favourite “comfort” recipes. These are meals I’ve made for myself when I’m feeling a little indulgent - but am not willing to sacrifice the health rating on my calendar. I do work here after all...I feel slightly inclined to be a nutritious role model (if not for myself...for my fellow users!).

Go ahead and plan a Netflix and chill evening with one of these recipes and treat yourself. You won’t have to feel bad about pigging out on these meals…

Yams are the secret ingredient to this tasty dish.

Nothing better than coming home to meatloaf. Except when it’s made of lentils, walnuts, and apples. Thank you Oh She Glows.

“Carbonara” and “healthy” have finally become friends.

Gotta love the creative gals from The Sweet Potato Chronicles for the wonders they worked on this household favourite!

A few ingredients and you’ve got a protein-rich refined-sugar-free dessert.

Carrot cake - and you don’t even need an oven.

Go on and get comforted - without the guilt.
