Celeriac has been the ruiner of many a soup that I have been fed, overshadowing the taste of the other ingredients and dominating the flavour profile.

Potato sprouts contain compounds (specifically glycoalkaloids like solanine and chaconine), which stick in the potatoes' skin and become toxic in the body when consumed in large quantities, leading to an upset stomach or indigestion. However, it's worth noting that potatoes already contain glycoalkaloids - the compound is just more concentrated in the sprouts.

Instead of spending the time and effort to prepare your own crispy-edged smashed potatoes, firing up this easy-to-prepare side leaves you more time to work on entrees, desserts, and more. The minimal list of ingredients includes potatoes, olive oil, sea salt, and "Liquid Gold," a garlic Parmesan seasoning that contains real butter, buttermilk, garlic, bell red peppers, Parmesan cheese, and a mix of savory spices.

Parsnips' signature sweet, nutty flavor comes from their cold-weather cultivation. That subterranean freeze is what converts the roots' starches into sugars as the veggie grows underground. This is also why spring-harvested parsnips tend to be sweetest, although parsnips can be harvested during the fall and winter months, too. Fall- and winter-harvested parsnips feature a firmer texture and earthier, subtly bitter tasting profile.

You really don't need much to make a delicious baked potato - some oil, a little salt, and an oven rack - and the opportunity to make it into a meal is endless. But at the crux of it all, of course, is the potato itself. Even a delicious baking potato can have flaws, and if you notice that yours has some brown spots, there's usually no need to worry.

About a month ago, a video of a Southern teacher named Courtney Cook Bales eating an entire baked sweet potato (skin and all) filled with cheese rolled across my For You Page. Almost immediately, this two-ingredient recipe was everywhere. Turns out, nearly 10 million people have seen the same video I had - but instead of scrolling on, they went into their kitchens to make it. And they were raving about it.

It's hard to deny that chicken pot pie is pure coziness wrapped inside of a pastry shell. There's rich gravy and tender chicken chunks, bright vegetables and an impossibly flaky crust. It's the kind of meal that will always make your mouth water, especially when the oven timer seems to be taking forever. So when you're seconds away from creamy filling cascading onto your plate, it can be hard to resist the urge to grab a fork and dig right in.

When you're craving a dish that feels cozy but still offers all the nutrients you need to feel your best, roasted vegetables are the way to go. They often taste richer and more complex than their raw or steamed counterparts, but they still make you feel your best when you eat a big batch of them. Whether you just want some roasted vegetables as a side dish or you want to incorporate them into a more coherent meal,

If there's one thing I know as a Registered Dietitian, it's that most people probably don't get enough vegetables. No matter how many bags of spinach or heads of broccoli you buy, they'll often die a slow death in the back of your fridge. Even I get into a pattern of avoiding vegetables in favor of richer, carb-y dishes to fuel me through the winter.

Barley, the grain that is featured in this dish, is one of our most nutritious grains; it contributes protein, thiamine and niacin. Barley also is a rich source of dietary fiber. For a vegan rendition, use vegan yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey in the dressing and use olive oil instead of butter when sauteing the mushrooms. The dish is a main course salad and should be served at room temperature.
