Chicken Soup

Nothing tastes as comforting as a homemade cup of chicken soup. Touted as the best chicken soup you'll ever eat, this meal will taste like a hug in a bowl. The recipe is packed with healthy anti-inflammatory ingredients and is quite easy to prepare. It can also be altered to fit a gluten-free or vegan diet. Pair this soup with crusty bread or side salad and dinner is served.

Pumpkin Muffins

Pumpkin spice is the flavor of the season. Try these healthy pumpkin muffins and decide for yourself whether they're really "the best," as Erin at Erin Lives Whole proclaims. This recipe uses healthy ingredients like ground oat flour, coconut oil, and maple syrup for guilt-free indulgence. And if they're not sweet enough, you’re encouraged to add chocolate chips to the batter. These muffins make a heavenly breakfast paired with a cup of coffee.

Mulled Wine

If you'd like to create a warm, fall beverage that makes your apartment smell divine, simmer a pot of mulled wine on your stovetop. Your roommates will be impressed by your cooking skills and will be happy to sample your creation. With a shortlist of ingredients and a cook time of 15 minutes, this recipe is a winner.
