Typically, fall and winter are the seasons that are all about comfort soups for me. But today I’m sharing my amazing Chicken, Lentil, and Spinach Soup recipe that is hearty and satisfying enough to be considered comfort food but still light and fresh enough for spring.

It seems that spring has been a little late to arrive this year, and it’s got me craving a nice big bowl of warm, comforting soup. This soup is so wonderfully full of flavor and is substantial enough to be considered a meal on it its own, but it’s definitely not heavy or rich, like many other lentil soup recipes can be.

I’ve really been trying to up my enchilada game lately. They’ve always been one of my most favorite Mexican foods that I consistently order at Mexican restaurants, but I knew that I could easily make my own lighter, healthier enchiladas at home.

So I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen, and my favorite version so far is my Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas Recipe. It is PACKED with chicken breast, black beans and corn – all zero Points foods with the new Weight Watchers Freestyle plan!

With just a few days until St. Patrick’s Day, it’s time to start planning your menu! While there are many traditional St. Patrick’s Day Recipes making their way across the Internet this month – corned beef and cabbage, Irish Stew, and Soda Bread to name a few, I’ve decided to keep things simple this year, and serve my Traditional Shepherd’s Pie Recipe for the big day.

My lightened up version is a lot lower in fat, calories, and Points, but it’s still the perfect, hearty, savory comfort food classic that we all know and love. It’s a great dinner recipe to make ahead and reheat later – which is great for me, because we often have a lot of activities/events happening on St. Patrick’s Day itself, and I often have little time to cook.

There is a possibility that I might be teetering on the edge of obsession when it comes to my Instant Pot. What is not to love about the idea of food being cooked faster, easier and healthier?! That’s why I’ve been churning out Instant Pot Recipes like a mad woman.

But the Instant Pot is pretty amazing and life changing, you guys. While I still love using a slow cooker, I am often one of those people who wait until the last minute to make dinner. The IP has really made my life a LOT easier for this exact reason.
