Shoutout to Carleigh Bodrug, whose simply delicious Dreamy Zucchini Breakfast Cookies took top honors.

Easy enough to make any day of the week but fancy enough to serve guests, it’s no surprise this blended potato, leek, and zucchini soup made our best-of-2024 list. Cannellini beans provide a velvety texture, while lemon zest and juice add brightness. Garnish with pepitas, lemon zest, and grated zucchini for a top-notch family meal.
“My family loved this soup, it is excellent. It is hard to believe that it’s so healthy. It’s super creamy, and the pumpkin seeds give it a nice crunch.” —Joyce
Ready in 25 minutes, this restaurant-quality linguine is low in fat, full of flavor, and ideal for a busy weeknight when you’re ravenous but short on time. The chunky pesto sauce features sautéed mushrooms, basil, walnuts, and garlic and has a rich umami flavor that coats every inch of the hearty whole wheat linguine. Serve with lemon-dressed arugula and cannellini beans.
“Delicious! Made as written, we loved it and will make often.” —Julie
Jackfruit adds a meaty texture to these hearty black bean and corn burgers, while panko breadcrumbs help bind them without making them heavy. Don’t skip the chipotle-lime sauce: You’ll need some of it to flavor the patty, and the rest is divine drizzled over the top.
“I usually find that veggie burgers are too much work for the results. These are the best burgers we’ve ever had and well worth the time to make. They even freeze well. A keeper!” —Trisha
Store-bought whole wheat gnocchi is a minimally processed ingredient that makes life so much easier. In this recipe, French onion soup, featuring caramelized onions and a hint of thyme, is started on the stovetop and then baked in the oven to create a melt-in-your-mouth savory broth studded with pillowy gnocchi and just the right amount of navy beans.
“This is easily one of my favorite soups I’ve made… My husband adores it, too. Such a satisfying meal! We’ve already added it to the recipe rotation.” —Lydia
