"I love the Kale & White Bean Potpie with Chive Biscuits because it's so creamy, comforting and surprisingly easy to make. The recipe boasts over five servings of veg plus whole grains and legumes, so it's super nourishing, too.

"Soooooo good. Just put a bun around this pulled pork and it feels like a warm hug." —Danielle DeAngelis, fellow

If I have beans, peppers or greens in my fridge that I need to use up, I'll throw those in too." —Jessica Ball, M.S., RD, nutrition editor

Plus, it's ready in 30 minutes." — Maria Laura Haddad-Garcia, senior nutrition & news editor
