Honey Mustard Baked Cod with Vegetables

Honey Mustard Baked Cod & Vegetables

Healthy Fact of the Day

This sheet pan meal is a nutritious combination of lean protein and vegetables. Cod is low in calories but high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart and brain health. The colorful variety of vegetables provides different vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Green beans offer vitamin C and folate, while tomatoes provide lycopene. To make it even healthier, use less honey or substitute with a sugar-free alternative. The mustard adds flavor without significant calories. This meal is naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using olive oil alone. Consider adding more non-starchy vegetables like Brussels sprouts or asparagus for extra nutrients while keeping calories low.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Little Caesars Is Offering $5 Large Pizzas to Amazon Prime Members — Through June 26

A $5 large pizza is a great value — and there are a few easy ways to make it a more balanced meal. Pairing two slices with a large side salad at home adds fiber, vitamins, and volume to the meal without significantly increasing the overall cost. Choosing the Classic Cheese over the Pepperoni cuts back on saturated fat and sodium, since pepperoni is one of the saltier pizza toppings. And if you’re feeding a family, portioning the pizza onto plates rather than eating directly from the box is a simple habit that makes it easier to keep servings in check.

The Farmers Market as a Way of Life

Research on farmers market shopping behavior and dietary outcomes consistently finds that regular farmers market shoppers consume significantly more fruits and vegetables than those who shop exclusively at conventional grocery stores — not primarily because of greater nutritional awareness but because the abundance, freshness, and sensory appeal of peak-season produce at the farmers market makes vegetable and fruit consumption more intrinsically rewarding. The quality of the produce itself, in other words, drives increased consumption in ways that nutritional messaging and dietary guidelines do not.

One Can of Tomatoes, Five Completely Different Meals

Canned tomatoes are one of the rare cases where the processed version is actually nutritionally superior to fresh. The canning process increases the bioavailability of lycopene — a powerful antioxidant linked to heart health and reduced cancer risk — making it easier for your body to absorb than it would be from a raw tomato. Look for cans with no added salt or sugar to keep things clean, and don’t skip the juice in the can — that liquid is packed with flavor and nutrients worth cooking with.
