Also, add in those veggies for an added nutrition benefit and this hearty soup will be a crowd pleaser on any table. Oh and don't forget the toppings: sliced radishes, avocado slices, lime wedges, chiles, jalapenos, cilantro leaves and more...Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato SoupNothing beats a chilly Fall night other than a warm blanket right?

I find it saves tons of time and I'm most motivated to get my refrigerator, freezer and pantry organized for the week ahead. Using a slow cooker, I make a large batch of shredded chicken taco meat that can be divided and frozen so all you have to do is warm it up on those busy nights. For this shredded chicken taco recipe, you save even more time because all you need to do is warm your tortilla's and add your favorite toppings such as cilantro, avocado slices, tomatoes, red onion and top with a dollop of light sour cream or even plain Greek yogurt.

Shrimp Ceviche by Nicole Vaudrin, RDN Nutrition EducatorLight and fresh, there is nothing like a bowl of ceviche as a light meal. Go the traditional route and let the citrus "cook” the shrimp, or use pre-cooked shrimp for those that are a bit more cautious with food safety. Either way, you'll get a complete meal packed with plenty of protein, fiber and healthy fats along with some amazing nutrients like vitamin c that may help improve skin elasticity and stimulate collagen production.
