Thursday: Kitchen Sink Green Vegetable Soup
As the week almost comes to a close, this soup is a great way to use up any remaining vegetables from earlier in the week, as well as whatever you have sitting in the freezer. Peas, spinach, broccoli, kale and more; they can all jump into the pot! Bonus: This recipe freezes well, so be sure to double-up and save the rest for another night.

Friday: Potato Gnocchi
Despite the starch, yes, potatoes are a vegetable! And their abundance in winter means they’re ideal for many comfort dishes, like our potato gnocchi. Plump and pillowy, they taste absolutely divine, especially with a homemade tomato sauce. (Or store-bought to save time.) They’ll take a bit more time to cook, so make it a fun post-work family project and enjoy a late dinner in front of the TV!
