I love to make chili in the cold months, though I don't think that is generally considered a healthy choice. Maybe you can make it healthier by making a soupy chili with lots of veggies. I like to use low-sodium tomato juice or V8 for mine.
I third the crock pot chili! We use 99% lean ground turkey in ours - I can post the recipe if you like. It honestly makes me not want to eat canned chili anymore!
I also do spaghetti with turkey meatballs, lasagne - sometimes a frozen Stouffers one, sometimes homemade with wheat noodles/FF ricotta/spinach.
