A little extra fiber in the evening can help you feel satisfied and take care of your health—from your heart to your gut—so these dishes have at least 6 grams per serving for a healthy way to end the day. Recipes like our Stuffed Pepper Soup and Meatballs with Lemon-Garlic Orzo are tasty dishes that you'll want to keep in your rotation. 01 of 15 Stuffed Pepper Soup View Recipe Jacob Fox Inspired by stuffed peppers, this soup is ready faster and with fewer dishes too! Have fun with the toppings—we top it with onion, Cheddar cheese and tortilla chips here, but salsa, sour cream and corn would also make stellar additions. 02 of 15 Pizza Sliders View Recipe Mini burgers make a fun, kid-friendly meal. Italian herbs, marinara and melty mozz give them the appeal of pizza. 03 of 15 Skillet Chili Mac View Recipe Poblanos add a kick of heat to this chili mac recipe. If that's not your thing, swap in green bell peppers to tone down the heat in this easy pasta dish, which mashes up mac and cheese and chili into a seriously satisfying skillet dinner. 04 of 15 Chili-Topped Sweet Potatoes View Recipe Transform ordinary baked potatoes into a full dinner with these chili-topped spuds.
