Sharing My Favorite Healthy Recipes for 2022. The new year is almost here, so let’s start it off right with healthy, balanced, and of course, delicious recipes. I’ve included all of my favorites – everything from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner, to dessert. Each and every one of them is delicious, just a little more balanced, and made with plenty of vegetables…but still cheese and carbs too! I’m excited to start January off with lots of color…and deliciousness too. Which of these recipes are your personal favorites?
It has been bitter cold here this week. And while it’s left me making all the coziest recipes, I’m excited for the new month ahead. Lots of fresh recipes with plenty of color! I’ve already start planning, cooking, and shooting January recipes. But with so many delicious recipe in the archives, I love sharing this round-up post every year.
This is the 6th Healthy January and it’s become a month I think everyone really enjoys. Here’s the thing, I use the word “healthy” lightly because everyone’s view on healthy is different.
Personally, I’m not a fan of diets or diet food. Instead of dieting, I really try to focus on using only real food within the recipes I share. That means lots of fruits, vegetables, proteins, with some whole grains mixed in.
And with the cold winter days here, we still want cozy food. Thankfully, cozy and healthy can work together. As usual, this month I’m excited to share bright colorful recipes that are full of flavor and nutrients.
Is there is any recipes you’d be especially excited to see? Cozy favorites made healthy? I always love hearing from your guys.
Have a very Happy New Year!

Such a wonderful list! It came on a day I desperately needed something new for supper for my family. I made the spicy chicken miso ramen, and it was AMAZING! We all loved it and it’s destined to show up in our house on many future nights. I’ve made other things on this list in the past ( bar cookies, mug cakes, avocado brownies, mmmm!,) and it’s all been wonderful. I look forward to finding other new favorites. Your creativity is such a gift! Yay!
Hi Toni,
Thank you so much for your kind message and reading along! I am so glad you love the ramen, it’s a good one! Happy New Year! xTieghan

Interesting recipes. How about desserts without chocolate.
Hey there,
I have plenty of desserts without chocolate:) Checkout the “dessert” section on the blog. xTieghan
Love this kind of post. It reminds me of some of my favs; crispy roasted cauliflower with pesto pasta, and the Tonga cauliflower tacos. Making them both the New Years. I just made the immune boost smoothie, so delicious, I feel instantly healthier!
Thank you so much Suzanne! Love to hear these recipes were enjoyed! xTieghan
You could call it “fresh start January”, for all the fresh foods you want to incorporate! Then you can get away from the pesky “healthy” label.
Either way, love how you don’t share all the fad diet January recipes, so many of my year-round favs in here. Roasted garlic butter chicken with lemon olive dressing is definitely going on my list!
Thanks for your suggestion Ashley! Happy New Year! xTieghan
So excited for all the wonderful things to cook and bake! Avocado Brownies are DEFINITELY on the list for 2022!
Thanks so much Gracie, I hope you love the recipe! xT
So many of my favs here, even my all time fav HBH recipe, the garlic chicken with olive salsa, closely followed by the lentil coconut and sweet pot soup!
I’ve given up dieting in January. Going for extra servings of vegetables and a less sugar heavy stuff instead.
Need to try the avo brownies this year ? xx
Thank you so much Kelly-Jane! Love that you have enjoyed a few of these recipes. Happy New Year! xT
I truly adore Kale, fennels, sweet potatos and celery, and I ‘m so happy they are super healthy!

Thanks Mary, I hope you love the recipes! xTieghan
I love these posts!! They always remind me of delicious recipes I need to make again! I would love if you did these posts seasonally to remind me of spring, summer, fall and winter recipes I might be forgetting at the beginning of the season. I just made a list of all the recipes I need to make in the next few weeks and I am drooling!! I always love all your salads and now even my kids who originally thought salads were for grown-ups or that they wouldn’t like a salad are eating their words and love salads too! I love all your soups and all your Greek recipes plus any of your chicken recipes that have tumeric. That Lebanese chicken recipe was a favorite. Also the chicken with the green olives of my gosh that recipe might be next. Thank you for all your genius recipes and delicious ideas!
