We all have those comfort foods we can’t resist, but why not make them even better by packing in more nutrition and increasing the volume?

Whether you’re kicking off your day with a hearty breakfast, revamping lunch or indulging in a healthier snack or dessert, these three recipes are here to help you do just that.

From my protein-packed scrambled eggs with the creamy addition of cottage cheese, to a wholesome grilled cheese with butternut squash, apples and red onion, and a creamy pumpkin-banana pudding made with a simple container of vanilla Greek yogurt, these dishes are loaded with flavor and all the nutrition your body needs to feel satisfied and energized. I can’t wait for you to try them!

Take your grilled cheese up a notch with this flavorful, nutrient-packed twist! It’s a grown-up spin on the classic, loaded with cozy comfort and layers of nutrition. This version fills the sandwich with roasted butternut squash and red onions, plus juicy slices of apple, for a tasty blend of sweet and savory. I like to add a drizzle of honey mustard, pesto, or even a dash of Sriracha for a bit of heat. This is grilled cheese like you’ve never had it before — deliciously good for you!

What if I told you that in just minutes, you can turn an everyday yogurt cup into a deliciously filling breakfast, snack or dessert? By combining creamy, protein-rich vanilla Greek yogurt with velvety, fiber-full pumpkin purée and naturally sweet banana, this pudding makes it easy. Satisfying, wholesome and crazy simple!

If you’re scrambling to get enough protein at breakfast, these protein-packed scrambled eggs are the perfect solution! Mixing eggs with cottage cheese gives you fluffy, creamy eggs with over 20 grams of protein per serving. And, of course, as a registered dietitian, I always add veggies — spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers — really any veggie works here! Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch or even breakfast for dinner, this quick and easy upgrade will be your new go-to.
