These carrot cake overnight oats taste just like the classic dessert—complete with a frosting-like layer—but with far less added sugar. We like layering some of the frosting in between layers of oats, but you can just dollop it all on top if you prefer.View recipe

12of 15How to Make a FrittataPhotographer: Stacy K. Allen, Props stylist: Julia Bayliss, Food stylist: Ana KelleyLearn how to make a frittata with just about anything you have in your crisper drawer with this easy formula. We like to start with onions (any type will do!) then add sweet peppers, earthy mushrooms and leafy greens before topping it with cheese and popping it in the oven. But if you have other veggies on hand, like zucchini, cherry tomatoes or even leftover roasted vegetables, those will work well too. Swap out the Cheddar cheese for another melting cheese like smoked Gouda or fresh mozzarella. Once you get the hang of how to make a frittata, the sky’s the limit!View recipe

Many restaurants serve it with just a few morsels of seaweed and tofu, but at home, miso soup can be hearty, packed with just about any vegetable.
