light & quick for the new year

i don't know about you, but after all the cookies, other sweets, and heavy dishes i've eaten over the last week (ok, month), i could use some lighter fare. here are some of my favorites from the archives. bonus that most are ready in under 30 minutes.

pierogis and mushroom goulash, bean burritos, apple cider glazed chicken

 
light linguini alfredo with pancetta & peas, shaker chicken noodle soup

 

pasta e fagioli [pasta & beans], risotto stuffed portobello mushrooms 

portobello fajitas, prosciutto & arugula pizza, teriyaki mushroom, spinach, & chicken salad 

tomato & meatball soup, light & quick white chicken chili

my favorite taco salad, giada's quick bolognese, portobello stirfry with udon

honey ginger chicken with peppers, soy glazed cod with zucchini

chicken vegetable stirfry with soba, black bean tacos, baked haddock & roasted potatoes

vegetable soup with tortellini, broiled tilapia with lemon buerre blanc
