View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Skip rolling and just layer these quick and easy enchiladas. This recipe uses a quick blender sauce, but if you're short on time, pick up a can of your favorite red enchilada sauce in the international aisle of your grocery store--you'll need about 3 cups.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, November/December 2018

Pan-Seared Halibut with Creamed Corn & Tomatoes

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

For this healthy fish recipe, you steep corncobs in milk; the resulting "stock" boosts the intensity of made-from-scratch creamed corn, plus extra starch from the corn contributes to its thick texture. This recipe calls for halibut--line-caught from the Pacific Ocean is the most sustainable option. Can't find it? Swap in Pacific cod or U.S. farmed tilapia instead. Serve this summery combination of seared fish, corn, tomatoes and basil for weeknight family dinners or to company on the weekends.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, September 2019

Thawed frozen corn works in place of fresh, just pat it dry before sprinkling it on the pizza.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, July/August 2019
