This post was created in partnership with ALDI. I love that they carry so many organic, gluten-free and healthy options for me and my readers!

I’ve put together a meal plan with surprisingly flavorful winter meals for you! You can find all of the recipes from this meal plan + many more on ALDI’s blog, Hello, Healthy. You can also find the majority of the ingredients used in this meal plan at your local ALDI.

Beef and Prune Stew: I bet you’ve never tried this combination before! This sweet and savory stew is the ultimate bowl of comfort. The dried plums break down to create a thick and fruity sauce, making this spiced stew feel more like a rich curry. I love eating this served on top of a bowl of rice, cauliflower-rice or quinoa.

Spiced Beef Stuffed Apples: Stuffed apples sound and look fancy but they are really so darn easy to make – as long as you’ve got a melon baller handy. If you don’t, just chop these apples up and stir-fry everything together in one pot. This recipe is what winter dreams are made of: sweet apples, toasty walnuts, tart and chewy cranberries, crunchy celery and perfectly spiced ground beef.

Eggs in a Spicy Tomato Sauce (Shakshouka): This dish looks kind of like an egg pizza without the crust! If you’ve never tried this before, you’ll be surprised at how well eggs and ripe tomatoes go together. If you can’t get your hands on ripe tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes to make this too!

Spicy Shredded Mexican Beef: Make this super simple meal in a slow cooker and you’ll end up with delicious, tender and flavorful shredded beef. You can serve the meat over a bowl of rice or on top of a salad. Add some fresh diced avocado and stir-fried veggies to make this a full meal.

Find these recipes + other recipes that are part of this meal plan by visiting ALDI’s new blog: Hello, Healthy.

ALDI’s new blog is a great resource for those of you looking for meal plans, recipe ideas, cooking tips and videos. I’ve said it many times before, but I love how dedicated ALDI is to expanding their selection of healthy food while keeping costs very affordable – especially when compared to other grocery stores!

Make sure to let me know what you think of the meals once you check out their blog!

    Hi Ashley,

    Is the Power Quinoa Salad with Parsley Pesto from Week 3, Day 4 your recipe? I also see it on The Healthy Apple’s page from Week 5 Day 1 so I’m a bit confused. I made it and it’s delicious, so I recommend it either way!

      Hi Sarah! No, that one isn’t mine – it’s an ALDI recipe. I teamed up with them to create meal plans so some are from my blog and some are from their chefs 🙂
