Eating healthy and being creative in the kitchen can be a daunting task. Between picky eaters and busy schedules, it can be easy to fall into a routine of eating the same foods each week – or ordering carryout and stopping at fast food restaurants (which can take a toll on your health). With the New Year closely approaching, it’s a great time to look for inspiration to make some healthy changes to your nutrition.

From hearty meals to tasty sweets, here are our most popular recipes of the last year — all written by registered dietitian nutritionists — that won’t have you spending hours in the kitchen making:
