My Favorite Healthyโฆish Recipes.

Thanks for joining me for another Nine Favorite Things post.
This week between Christmas and New Years is always such a great time to take some time away from work, take a minute to breath and to reflect on the year. As usual, itโs a little chaotic over here with our of town guests shuffling in and out, but itโs been nice catching up with everyone. I may still be working, but thereโs a little less โurgencyโ running through me and things are just a touch more relaxed this week. Not having emails coming in by the minute is truly one of the best feelings.
We have no major New Yearโs Eve plans, but a round of homemade pizzas, some fun cocktails, family, and friends sounds like the perfect nightโฆthat or a night spent on the couch with a good movie. Which are you? Go out and ring in the New Year in aย sparkly dress and heels, or stay in with a good blanket, movie, and a fire?
Can you guess my choice?
Coming up this week on HBHโฆ On Monday Iโll be sharing my favorite healthy recipes to kick-start 2019 in a healthy (but delicious) way. Weโll be taking Tuesday off to welcome in 2019. Wednesday is the official start to โHealthy January 2019โ and Iโll be sharing a new detox style salad. On Thursday itโs all about a new cozy soup. And Friday will have something sweet, and oh so good for you too.
Keeping todayโs favorites on the the shorter side, but including lots of delicious recipes. Iโll have a few exciting project announcements and more coming your way in 2019. I canโt wait to share!
Lastly, if you missed anything from this past week, be sure to sign up for our newsletterย here. Hope youโre all having the best holiday weekend, and enjoy this Sundayโs Favorites!

4. Do What Feels Good.ย
A new year brings new goals and a fresh start. I know so many of you may be looking for ways to get healthier in 2019 and I have a book thatโs going to help. Do What Feels Good by my friend Hannah Bronfmanย is truly one of the best healthy lifestyle/cookbooks I have ever come across. Itโs filled with everything from beauty tips, to confidence boosting tips, to beyond delicious recipes. Hannah approaches healthy living in a way that isnโt scary or restrictive. The book will help you feel your best in your own skin and itโs the best book I could recommend for starting out the new year right.

I am loving this site!! Itโs so inviting and inspiring. Iโve made the spicy Lasagna soup as well as the monster cookies with my daughter, we had so much fun together and enjoyed the fruits of our labor.
Hi Katrina,
Thank you so much for being here and trying the soup and monster cookies, love to hear that they were enjoyed! xTieghan
Happy New Year!
I love your site the way it is. Your food photography makes me want to try EVERYTHING!!
Iโm with the others who are looking for some interesting Instant Pot recipes. Seems a lot of us got one for Christmas!
Hi Joanne! I am so glad you have been loving my blog and recipes! Happy New Year!
What would you like to see more of? I honestly love all your content but I am excited to see your take on โhealthy-ishโ recipes. You have the hearty and savory down!
I DO WANT TO SEE some fundamental stuff, example, removing chicken breast and tenderloin from the breastbone; deconstructing a whole chicken or proper way to cut a beef tenderloin. Some essential cooking skills/knife skills like that.
What might you like to see less of? You said that the instant pot recipes have been very popular, but for those of us with dutch ovens/cocottes/crock pots it would be great if you could add a note to how long you would cook with these kitchen items.
Do you want more lifestyle and DIY post? Maybe, but I come to your blog for the food ๐
Thank you so much Amanda! I am so glad you have been enjoying my blog and these are great suggestions!
More recipes! Casseroles and soups, please. Breads. Love you and your site!!
Thank you Danica!
Thanks for all the great recipes. Please keep the site recipe focused. Love to see more Instant Pot, pizza, good vegetable sidesโฆlike maybe entree + sides. Not into the โlifestyleโ stuff. Looking forward to new 2019 recipes. Maybe more fruit desserts.
Thank you so much Joyce!
Hi Tieghan! I always like reading nine of my favorite things and of course, I love your photography! Iโm always on the lookout for new quick breads recipes to bake for my parents, some new cookies to bake and bundt cakes too would be fun.
Have a Healthy and Happy New Year with your family! ???
Thank you so much! I hope you have a happy and healthy New Year as well!
I would love to see more meal prep/freezer friendly recipes as well as some more vegetarian or vegan recipes! Love the balance of recipes and style at the moment. Your Thanksgiving menรบ posts are always helpful and fun.
Thank you so much Kristen!
I would love to see more Instant Pot recipes for 2019! I am new to cooking with an instant pot so would appreciate tips, suggestions, ideas for different uses of my new appliance.
Thank you Carla!
Iโll be alone to welcome in 2019, but Iโve decided that the Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Pretzels must join me! The leftovers will be served as appetizers on New Yearโs Day, should any remain. Nine Favorite Things is always, always my favorite thing and todayโs is overflowing with yumalicious recipes and inspiration. Wishing you and your family the Happiest New Year ever! โThe new year stands before us like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.โ โ Melody Beattie.
Yes I love that! I hope you have an amazing New Year Ellen! Thank you!
