Stock your Pantry for Healthy Fall and Winter Meals

September 26, 2023

I always keep these items on hand to make quick, healthy meals for fall. Here are a few ideas to use these staple items:

Add 1/2 can pumpkin puree and a dash of cocoa powder to your chili recipe to thicken the sauce and add a depth of flavor.
Add drained, rinsed canned chickpeas and roasted pumpkin seeds to salads for added protein, fiber and magnesium.
Combine cooked chickpea pasta with fire roasted tomatoes, great northern beans, parmesan cheese and spinach. Top with a little pesto sauce.
Make overnight oats with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, vanilla protein powder and pecans.
