The weather’s getting colder and you may start to see fewer and fewer salads in my Instagram stories, and more and more soups, stews, curries, tagines, and…you guessed it…chili! Yep, I’m all about the warming one-pot wonders at this time of year and chili is on heavy rotation in the Whole Happy kitchen…

As you guys know I’m a sucker for leftovers. Well more accurately I’m a sucker for not throwing perfectly edible things in the trash, having nourishing dishes ready to go, and using up as much of the plant or animal as possible for maximum nutrient density and minimal waste.

I could probably eat burgers every day. They’re incredibly easy and take no time to make, and taste just as good in between a bun, grilled Portobello mushrooms, or even on top of a salad. They’re also the perfect little nutrient-dense package for those busy days when you need a protein hit on-the-go...
