Zucchini and Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes | Real Simple

Sweet potatoes make for a healthy, flavorful dinner when filled with savory beans and veggies. Cooking the starchy root in the microwave cuts down on cook time, meaning you can have this fiber-packed meal on the table in just 20 minutes. While the potato is cooking, the black bean filling comes together on the stove. Just before serving, top each potato with white Cheddar cheese, and serve with a lime wedge. And be sure to save any leftovers—the veggie-bean mixture would be great tucked inside tacos or on top of nachos.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup With Harissa and Chickpeas

Sugar pumpkins, small, smooth pumpkins that are great for cooking and baking, make for a satisfying and warming soup you’ll want to enjoy all season long. If you can’t find sugar pumpkin, kabocha squash, a sweet Japanese variety of winter squash, can be used in its place. Spicy harissa paste gives the soup a kick, but a dollop of Greek yogurt helps mellow the heat. To freeze, fill gallon-size freezer bags halfway with soup and freeze flat. To thaw, place in a bowl full of warm water for 10 minutes then reheat on the stovetop over medium heat.

Broccolini and Olive Skillet Pizza

No pizza stone? No problem! A cast iron skillet is the perfect vessel for homemade pizza, thanks to its ability to go from stovetop to oven. Because it gets hot and stays hot, the skillet gives the pizza a crispy crust, so you can pile on the toppings without worrying about it getting soggy. Using store-bought pizza dough quickens the process, and as the crust starts to crisp on the stove you can pile on the sauce, cheese, and veggies (feel free to experiment with all your favorite fixings). Look for melted cheese and a golden-brown crust as the pizza finishes in the oven. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper for a bit of heat if you like, and serve warm.
