Quick and easy comfort food recipes are just what any family needs on a busy weeknight. As the weather gets chillier, cravings for cool, fresh ingredients diminish as those urges to eat cheesy, warm casseroles take over. Thankfully, craving comfort food doesn’t have to mean benching a healthy diet. This holiday season I’ll be sharing some of my favorite comforting, yet healthy dishes and trust me, your abs will thank you. First up, is this Wild Rice Stuffing with Butternut Squash, Red Onion, and Almonds. Bon Appétit!
